What Are The Cross Stitch Mounting Skills?

How to Mount?

Mounting does not play a decisive role in cross stitch, but proper mounting can make a piece of cross stitch unique and novel, which can not only improve the artistic taste of cross stitch but also play the role of a finishing touch, which can set off the artistic effect of cross stitch. If you don’t want to spend time on framing, you can go to a special framing shop for framing, which not only provides frame strips and cardboards of various colors but also provides various matching solutions to choose from. Some framing shops are also equipped with special cross-stitch. The cardboard machine provides personalized cardboard carvings, and the cross-stitch cardboard machine comes with a variety of carving patterns for guests to choose.

Color

In the collocation of cross-stitch, cardboard, and frame strips, the adjacent color contrast in the "harmonious contrast" in art is generally used, and a small part uses zero-degree contrast and strong contrast. In layman's terms, the contrast between cross-stitch, cardboard, and frame strips is not very strong, so the framed cross-stitch is harmonious and unified, and the color tone, lightness, hue, purity, etc. of the three are certain. For example, for green cross stitch, you can choose yellow cardboard or an outer frame; some cardboard, the color of the outer frame and the color of the cross stitch form a sharp contrast, and there is a clear contrast between the two. , For example, red cross stitch can choose black cardboard or frame and so on.

The outer frame is made of European-style or palace-style frame strips, such as gold and platinum frames with complex patterns. There are also some abstract cross stitches with complex patterns, still life flower cross stitches, which can be mounted with glass suspended, so that the cross stitch and the cardboard can be separated to show a three-dimensional sense.

Overall style
