Surface embellishment techniques
Surface embellishment techniques are methods used to decorate or enhance the appearance of textiles and materials. These include processes like embroidery, where threads stitch patterns onto fabric; appliqué, where shapes are sewn onto a surface for design; printing, which adds images or patterns; dyeing and painting, to add color and effects; beading and sequins for sparkle; and fabric manipulation techniques like pleating or folding for texture. These methods add visual interest, texture, and uniqueness to clothing and textiles, making them more attractive and personalized.
