Materials

  • Cotton pads: round or heart-shaped
  • Embroidery thread in green, red, pink, and other spring colors
  • Embroidery needle
  • Red and white baker’s twine or thin ribbon
  • Pencil (for light sketching)
  • Small scissors

Instructions

  • Lightly sketch your floral design onto the cotton pad using a pencil, simple tulip shapes or heart outlines work beautifully.
  • Thread your needle with green embroidery floss and start stitching the stems and leaves using long straight stitches.
  • For the flowers, use red or pink thread to create tulip petals or tiny roses using satin or French knots. Then add small decorative dots or blossoms in various colors for extra texture.
  • Once the embroidery is done, tie a red-and-white bow around the base or edge of the pad. You can glue or stitch it securely in place.
  • If desired, attach a small loop of string at the top for hanging or use it as an embellishment on greeting cards.
