How to Embroider: Wire Wrap for Stumpwork - Video and Step by Step Tutorial

Learn how to wrap wire for stumpwork with this beginner-friendly DIY hand embroidery video tutorial from MCreativeJ. This is a way to cover wires used in stumpwork. There are two ways to start this stitch. If covering a wire attached to an embroidery, such as a stem wire coming out of a leaf, use a loop start. Then run the thread through a glue stick, gingerly coating the thread with an adhesive. Tightly wrap the thread around the wire so that the wire is completely covered. If covering a wire not attached to anything, start by running the thread through a glue stick. Then lay the thread flush with the wire about ½ inch away from the end. The thread end and wire end should be opposite one another. At the end of the wire, start tightly wrapping the wire over the laid thread and the wire. This will cover the thread end. Wrap until the wire is completely covered. For more hand embroidery tips, projects, kits, and supplies visit mcreativej.com
