Stitched Die String Art

Use die cuts for some geometric stitchery.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Place the stitched die on to the card stock layer and run through the die cut machine.

   

2. Step 2

   Place the layer that you die cut onto the card base. Center a smaller die of the same shape (stars are use here) and die cut the card base to create a window with the smaller die. (This creates a small border inside the stitched layer and also covers up the stitching on the back of the panel.)

   

3. Step 3

   Thread the needle with 2 yards or less of metallic thread. Secure the thread with tape on the back of the stitched window.
   

   

4. Step 4

   Bring the thread through from back to front at the center top of the shape. Go down at the center bottom. Skip the next stitch mark in your die to the right of your first stitch. Make a new stitch at the top coming up from the 3rd stitch and going down two stitches over to the left at the bottom.
   

   

5. Continue on in the same way, skipping every other stitch with your stitches at the bottom going to the left, and your stitches at the top going to the right.

   

6. Step 5

   Keep adding more thread as needed and ALWAYS secure the ends with tape in the back.

   

7. Step 6

   Assemble the card, centering the stitched layer on the card front with the opening.

   

8. Step 7

   Complete the project.
