Easter is the perfect time to get crafty, and what better way to celebrate than with a charming handmade stitched decoration? Follow this simple tutorial to create your own unique piece, perfect for hanging on your Easter tree!

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Start with the Thread
Choose a coloured thread and double knot it at the back of your wooden egg to secure it in place.

2. Follow the Pattern
Use the illustrated guide provided to stitch your design. When stitching the squiggle pattern from top to bottom, follow these steps:

• Pull the thread to the back of the egg as you complete each line.

• Bring the needle back up through the hole directly below the last one.

• Extend the squiggle to the opposite side and push the thread down through the hole.

• Repeat until the pattern is complete.

3. Secure the Stitching
Once you’ve finished the design, tie a knot at the back to secure the thread and trim any excess.

4. Add the Hanging Loop
Split your natural-coloured thread into six equal parts. Take one section and feed it through the top hole of your decoration. Create a loop for hanging and tie a knot at the top.

5. Finishing Touches
Thread some decorative beads onto the loop for an extra festive touch. Adjust as needed and secure with a final knot.

6. Display Your Work
Hang your beautiful handmade decoration on your Easter tree and admire your craftsmanship!

 

 

Happy crafting!
