Embroidery on photos? Yes, it's a thing, and it looks amazing. 📸✨

Want to give your favorite printed memories a personal, artistic twist? Turns out stitching directly onto photos is a lot easier than it looks, and it adds some incredible depth and style to any photo art project. 🧵🎨

Here's the quick breakdown to get you started:

Prep & Reinforce: Glue your photo onto thick cardstock. This keeps the paper sturdy so it won't tear while you stitch.
Plan Your Pattern: Tape tracing paper over your photo and sketch your layout using a pencil.
Punch Guide Holes: Use an Excel Blades Scribe Tool to pierce precise holes through all layers. Pre-punching makes threading seamless.
Stitch & Style: Start from the back to hide knots, then mix up your techniques (try cross-stitches, running stitches, and backstitches).
Clean Finish: Knot off your thread on the back and trim any excess using Excel Blades Soft Grip Scissors.
