10 Items You Can Add for Inspiration

Hi Stitchers-

I’ve been watching a lot of Facebook reels lately...I know, I know, what a waste of time! Alas. My favorites vary but I probably enjoy the Dollar Store hacks most.  

This got me thinking about whether being creative makes you more creative.  If I'm using myself as the example, I would say absolutely, 100%.  

When I started embroidery, I followed the instructions in the kits.  I used the colors and stitches that I was told to use.  I got bored with that pretty quickly and started playing around with different colors and stitches.  Then, I started making my own patterns.  I used different fabric.  I added beads.  

It became pretty evident to me that I wasn't going to stop tweaking, evolving and adapting my work.  

If you're into embroidery or other crafts and need some inspiration, here is a list of ideas:

• Beads (either large or small)
• Sequins
• Buttons
• Fabric
• Paint
  
• Jewelry (pins and brooches are awesome)
• Feathers
• Hot Glue
• Markers
• Pens
• Wire

I would love to hear if you have any suggestions to help our creativity.  Until next time!
