Embroidered Rainbow Planter

Designer: Ammie Williams

Instructions

  1. Using the liner brush, add short dashes of Hot Tamale following the shape of the top arch to resemble a straight stitch. Reload your brush every few dashes to keep the coats thick and even.
  2. Use the #6 Script Liner to paint the second arch with 2 coats of SC23 Jack-O-Lantern and the third arch with 2 coats of SC42 Butter Me Up.
  3. Use a dotting tool to add SC52 Toadily Green dots along the fourth arch, taking care to evenly space them apart to resemble french knots.
  4. Use the liner brush with SC28 Blue Isle to add a herringbone stitch to the fifth arch by painting a line in the middle of the arch and adding V shapes along the line. Add a second coat on the herringbone stitch.
  5. Use the #6 Script Liner to paint the sixth arch with 2 coats of SC103 Lavendear.
  6. Use the liner brush to add a buttonhole stitch to the seventh arch by painting a line following the arch, then adding dashes coming down from the line, following the shape of the arch.
  7. Use the fan brush to paint the inside of the planter with 3 coats of SC33 Fruit of the Vine.
  8. Use the fan brush to paint the top and back of the planter with 3 coats of SC74 Hot Tamale.
  9. When the planter has dried, paint 2 even coats of SG703 Autumn Speckta-clear to the front, top and back of the planter.
  10. Do not clear glaze. Fire to cone 06.
  11. Tie the twine and knot by the holes in the hanger once fired. Optional: add a dot of super glue to the knot for extra security.
