Embroider A Card For Mum This Mother's Day

Surprise your mother with a special card in its own embroidered bag. All the instructions are here to make it easy for you.

Things required:

• Light pink, dark pink and lilac stranded embroidery thread
• Sharp-pointed embroidery needle
• Sheets of thick plastic
• Cardboard for the card
• Paper
• Scissors

To make:

Step 1 - First make the bag. Draw a cake stand on a piece of paper. A5 is a good size because you can then make your card from a folded sheet of A4 cardboard.

Step 2 - Measure the size that your card will be, add 2 cm to the bottom and side edges, this is for the blanket stitch, and cut two pieces out of thick plastic.

Step 5

Step 5 - To make the card, draw some cupcakes onto the cardboard for your card so that they will ‘fit inside’ the cake stand. Colour or paint the card in and write your special Mother’s Day message on the inside.
