Colleen at The Wool and The Floss has a really clever way of making a dimensional Christmas bulb for this cute moose canvas.
For those without a Facebook account, Colleen uses Flair, ties a knot in the end, then she goes down through the painted Christmas bulb, leaving the knot on the top. Next, she creates a second knot with a French knot. These two knots are padding. The third step is to do satin stitches over the knots. Then she ties off because she plans an open stitch background, so each Christmas tree light tangled around the antlers needs to be started/stopped right there, instead of dragging the Flair to another light bulb. That would show though the open stitch background.
Smart!
