| How to make |
- Place the template over the tracing paper piece and trace the design.
- Place the paper over the card. Punch out the star shape from the card.
|
 |
 |
- Pin to make holes through the card at the points marked on the template.
|
- Pass a long length of embroidery thread through the needle and tie its ends into a knot.
- Insert the needle through the back of the top left-hand hole of the card and pull it to the front until the knot prevents further entry.
|
 |
 |
- Pass the needle down through the top right-hand hole to make one stitch. Bring it back through the next left-handle hole. Thread on a sequin and then pass it down through the parallel right-hand hole.
|
- Pass the needle through each hole, threading on a sequin at each stitch. When you are done with all the holes, the tree will be complete.
- Fix the loose end of the thread with the knot behind the back of the card. Close the card.
- Attach the star sequin with glue to the inner back of the card through the star hole.
