Instead of floss stitches on fabric, though, this design was executed using sprinkles on the frosting of a cake. Stephanie of Clockwork Lemon used one of Carina’s embroidery patterns as inspiration for the delicate placement of […]
No power rings are involved, here, just boric acid, methanol, and a homemade spirit lamp. It’s all nicely explained by Instructables user The Green Gentleman.
