| Comparative item | traditional cross stitch | 5D cross stitch |
|---|---|---|
| visual effects | flat pattern | Three-dimensional layering |
| Material | Embroidery thread + fabric | Embroidery thread + sequins/beads + foam cushion |
| difficulty | Beginner-Intermediate | Intermediate-Advanced |
2. 5D cross stitch embroidery steps
According to popular tutorials on Xiaohongshu, Douyin and other platforms, the core steps of 5D cross stitch can be summarized as:
| steps | Operational points |
|---|---|
| 1. Material preparation | Choose the 5D material package containing foam cushion and check the number of embroidery threads and sequins |
| 2. Pattern positioning | Use an erasable pen to mark the center point on the fabric and divide it according to the drawing. |
| 3. Bottom embroidery | Complete the ordinary cross-stitch part first (it is recommended to use 3 strands of thread) |
| 4. Three-dimensional layer processing | Sew the sequins/beads to the foam cushion according to the symbols (special glue is required to fix) |
| 5. Finishing touches | Keep the thickness of the foam layer when mounting to avoid flattening the three-dimensional effect |
3. 5 tips that are hotly discussed on the Internet
