Quick Woven Flower Hand Embroidery Ideas


That's how a woven wheel flower is done. It is one of the easiest embroidery stitches which can give simple yet beautiful flowers. 

With a good method, we can get a rosette like in the above image, going over and under the spikes. 
Below is an easy tutorial for the same. 


The trick is to keep it loose without tightening the thread too much. When you tighten the thread, you won't get the rosette shape. 
Here are some splendid Woven wheel flower embroidery design ideas for your dresses 









Sew in some Woven wheel or spider wheel flowers in contrast color to the neckline or the sleeve. Fill the space with french knots or beads .













Single laizy Daisy stitches can add the elegance factor to your bouquet style flower embroidery. This can be used ont he chest portion of your baby  girls frock or even t shirt.
















Woven stitch looks even more beautiful with thin ribbons.

Handworked Blouses in Easy Budget

When it comes to handwork the prices are sky rocketing and reachable only for some people of the society. We at Crystelle Boutiq believe in making it all affordable for everyone. All people have the right to dress classy and elegantly. You just have to make the right choice based on your budget, and we help with settling down in a design that fits into your budget.

Let us have a look of some of the blouse embroidery patterns and how we can cut down on the cost.

Mirror work is the best option when you are working with a plain saree. Mirror lace borders can be done on sarees from Rs 400 onwards including the border attaching cost. Then when it comes to the blouse there are several options
* Mirrors with golden zari closure as in pic. This is the costliest kind as it is done manually using aari work.
* Then another options is to stick the mirrors and adding beads round the mirror. The cost is dependant on the size of the bead. Bigger beads will cost less and smaller beads more.
* The cheapest option is to use readily available mirror frames which are available in all colors.

When you are working on a blouse, the best way is to work on the back of the blouse and the sleeve. Nowadays, handwork is also done on the shoulder side which is seen. This can help reduce cost.

For those who wear a hijab with the saree, better confine the handwork to heavy sleeves as you do not want to spend a handsome amount on handwork and close it off.

Mirrors are available in all different shapes and sizes : square, round, oval, rectangle, teardrop etc.
When you are working with misshaped mirrors like for example, the teardrop shape, you will not be able to close off the sides properly. The best method is to stick it well and then finish the sides with simple chain stitch zardosi or beads,
