DIY Hand Embroidery Motif – Rise and Shine

Hi everyone!

I have a fun and colorful embroidery project to share today! Supplies:

• Bright, floral fabric
• Embroidery hoop
• Embroidery floss
• Pencil
• Needle
• Scissors
• Printed phrase

DMC Floss Color:

• 4040

I chose this floss specifically for the fun color variations! This is the phrase motif we’ll be using.

I picked two complementary fonts off my computer and typed out my desired phrase.

You’re more than welcome to use my font choices, or you can choose some fonts of your own! We’re going to start by tracing the phrase onto our fabric.

Once the phrase is traced, hoop your fabric. Start Back Stitching around “Rise.”

If you like the Satin Stitch, do that! I think it would look very pretty here! Continue Back Stitching until “Rise” is complete. I contemplated using the Stem/Outline Stitch for the “and,” but in the end, I decided to stick with the Back Stitch. Just like we did with “Rise,” begin Back Stitching the word “Shine.” Once “Shine” is complete, our project is done! I absolutely love how cheerful and bright this turned out!

Happy Crafting!
