stitch some greetings!

by lou

For Monday we designed some printable Valentine’s cards for you. Today I want to show you how easy it is to make cute cards yourself. All you  need is cardboard, some yarn and a needle. That’s it.

Draw your design on the card with a pencil. I chose something very simple since card is not really flexible when it comes to stitching. Too many stitches will not look good on paper.  A heart and a cute writing is totally fine.

Before you start make little wholes where you want to stitch. That will make it easy to find the right position when the needle comes from underneath. And then you can just go ahead.

When you’re done stitching write your message on another card and glue it on the backside of the card so you have enough room for your words of love. Erase the visible pencil marks and Fertig! :-)

Tomorrow is giveaway day. Come back for a “sinful” present!
