The mounting of our round embroidery boxes
What you need
- a dressmaker's chalk,
- white fabric glue,
- a brush,
- a clean cloth,
- a weight (which can be a book, a bottle filled with water, a can, etc.),
- you will also need a pair of scissors and an iron.
When the embroidery is finished
You will find all the details in our video: it will take you less than 10 minutes.
Cutting the embroidery
Sing a good light source, centre the cardboard disc on the embroidery and draw around it on the wrong side.
Clip all around the fabric at roughly 1cm intervals.
Placing the wadding on the cardboard disc
Cut off the excess around the disc.
The glueing of the embroidery on the lid
About halfway through, check the embroidery is correctly centred.
Once you have glued down all the edges, wipe away any excess glue with a clean cloth. Leave to dry.
This will prevent the covered disc from slipping and give a solid finish.
Cover the back of the disc with glue and centre it on the lid.
Place a weight or heavy book on the lid and leave to dry for a few hours.
