DIY Photo Embroidery: Print your pictures on fabric and stitch over them

In this video, I’ll explain how I printed a photo onto fabric using my regular home printer — and then work on turning it into a beautiful hand-embroidered keepsake.🧵✨

I used a picture of my daughter’s face, printed it onto fabric, secured it in an embroidery hoop, and stitched directly on top of the photo to create a unique, textured portrait. This technique is perfect for personal gifts, memorial art, or creative embroidery projects.

It’s also a meaningful way to combine photography and embroidery — great for beginners or experienced stitchers looking to try something new!

🪡 Materials I Used:
• Inkjet printer
• Cotton fabric or printable fabric sheets
• 8.5” x 11” sticker label sheet
• Embroidery hoop
• Embroidery floss and needle
• Scissors
