The Winner
About this design:
Have you found yourself taking up any new hobbies recently? DIY Kits are a great way to kick start a new creative outlet and none have been more popular recently than embroidery projects.
Details
Embroidery kits often include a piece of fabric with a pre-printed design to help guide the crafter as they follow the printed lines and fill in shapes with stitches to create a prescribed composition. This is where you come in! For this challenge, artists will create a template for future embroidery masterpieces.
Your design should fit on an 8″ X 8″ swatch and we suggest that the art to be embroidered should be contained within a 6″ circle (download our template to get you started here). This way, the swatch can easily be stretched over an embroidery hoop that is a bit smaller than the swatch (a 6″ design and hoop will work perfectly together). Once it is stretched the crafter can embroider the design and add texture and color to your design with their stitching. What a collaboration!
Did you know you can set your Marketplace designs for sale on a specific fabric type and fabric size? Ensure your designs are set to swatch and your preferred fabric (we suggest Petal Signature Cotton or Linen Cotton Canvas for embroidery), and then select the “Save this Layout” button to save these settings for your customers.
Looking for some inspiration? We love Spoonflower Ambassador Robert Mahar's kits and Small Business Grantee Pop Lush visited our blog recently to talk about her DIY kit design process.
