Abstract

A sheet for embroidered picture includes a sheet-like base 1 made of paper such as synthetic paper or thick paper. Perforations 0.4-1.5 mm in inside hole diameter are formed in matrix form at least a part of the sheet-like base 1. From the sheet-like base 1, a sheet piece 4 in the desired shape can be cut off easily by trimming off along the perforations 2 with a pair of scissors or the like. The sheet piece 4 thus cut off in the desired shape may then be laminated on another sheet-like base 1, when an embroidery thread 3 is passed through the perforations 2 along the other sheet-like base 1 and the sheet piece 4, a three-dimensional embroidered picture is made. On the surface of the sheet-like base 1, a picture or pattern may be drawn, and an embroidered picture excelled in designability may be made when the picture or pattern is used as a background.

Claims

1. A method of making an embroidered three dimensional picture, comprising the steps of:

providing at least one sheet for the embroidered picture, each of said at least one sheet being capable of being embroidered with an embroidery thread, said at least one sheet having perforations which have a 0.4-1.5 mm inside hole diameter and which are formed over at least a part of each said at least one sheet in matrix form, at least one of said at least one sheet being made of a material which can easily be cut;

providing at least one piece of thread which is capable of being passed through said perforations;

cutting at least one of said at least one sheet which is made of a material which can easily be cut to form at least one smaller sheet piece therefrom;

placing at least one of the at least one smaller sheet piece over a base sheet of said at least one sheet;

embroidering the thread through perforations both in said at least one of the at least one smaller sheet piece placed over the base sheet and in said base sheet.

2. The method of making an embroidered three dimensional picture according to claim 1, wherein said material is paper.

3. The method of making an embroidered three dimensional picture according to claim 2, wherein said material is synthetic paper.

4. The method of making an embroidered three dimensional picture according to claim 3, further including the step of forming a picture or pattern on a surface of said base sheet.

5. The method of making an embroidered three dimensional picture according to claim 3, wherein the thickness of said synthetic paper is approximately 0.4 mm.

6. The method of making an embroidered three dimensional picture according to claim 2, wherein said material is thick paper.

7. The method of making an embroidered three dimensional picture according to claim 6, further including the step of forming a picture or pattern on a surface of said base sheet.

8. The method of making an embroidered three dimensional picture according to claim 6, wherein the thickness of said thick paper is approximately 0.8 mm.

9. The method of making an embroidered three dimensional picture according to claim 2, further including the step of forming a picture or pattern on a surface of said base sheet.

10. The method of making an embroidered three dimensional picture according to claim 1, further including the step of forming a picture or pattern on a surface of said base sheet.

11. The method of making an embroidered three dimensional picture according to claim 1, wherein said inside hole diameter is approximately 0.8 mm.

12. The method of making an embroidered three dimensional picture according to claim 11, wherein said thread is selected from the group consisting of 2-ply thread or 3-ply thread.

13. The method of making an embroidered three dimensional picture according to claim 1, wherein the pitch between adjacent perforations in said matrix is 1.3-2.0 mm.

14. The method of making an embroidered three dimensional picture according to claim 1, wherein the pitch between adjacent perforations in said matrix is approximately 1.5 mm.

15. An embroidered three dimensional picture, comprising:

at least one sheet having a matrix of perforations which have a 0.4-1.5 mm inside hole diameter, at least one of said at least one sheet being made of a material which can be cut easily;

at least one smaller sheet piece which is cut from at least one of said at least one sheet which is made of a material which can be cut easily;

said at least one smaller sheet piece being located on top of a base sheet of said at least one sheet;

at least one piece of thread embroidered through the perforations in both said at least one of the at least one smaller sheet piece placed over the base sheet and said base sheet.

16. The embroidered three dimensional picture according to claim 15, wherein said material is paper.

17. The embroidered three dimensional picture according to claim 16, wherein said material is synthetic paper.

18. The embroidered three dimensional picture according to claim 16, wherein said material is thick paper.

19. The embroidered three dimensional picture according to claim 15, wherein said inside hole diameter is approximately 0.8 mm and the pitch between adjacent perforations is 1.5 mm.

20. The embroidered three dimensional picture according to claim 19, wherein said thread is selected from the group consisting of 2-ply thread or 3-ply thread.
