This resource is designed to support pupils as they explore the cultural significance and textile techniques behind ancient Egyptian decorative collars. It introduces key terminology such as appliqué, cross-stitch, running stitch, and embellish, alongside practical tools and methods like pinking and using templates for accurate design work.
