Stitching on Paper


 This is a terrible picture - sorry.  I was in a rush.  

In the image are stitched paper light bulbs and the gold sockets.  This is my first attempt at stitching on paper.  The bulbs were cut using Stitched String Lights Etched Dies from Spellbinders.  I cut them from foiled paper so they would be shiny, and then I stitched them using DMC gold thread.  I did this on a trip to and from Pittsburgh - they were a car craft. 

Soon, I'll assemble them on what I imagine will be two Christmas cards using the cord die that comes with the set. 

Do I like stitching on paper? Well, it was a little fiddley.  The sockets are very small. The thread was slick - it had no gripping power on the paper, and the road was rough. I'm not sure this project was a good test of whether I like this kind of crafting or not.

Looking forward to creating the cards, though.
