List of Supplies for Stitched Heart Card:

• Heart Template (optional)

Instructions for Stitched Heart Card:

Step 1:

Select cardstock paper and prepare a square or rectangular shape for the card. You can trace the heart shapes from the provided template or you can draw the heart yourself. Use a pencil to mark the stitching points along the traced heart shape.

Step 2:

Prepare a needle with thread and tie a knot at the thread’s open end.

Step 3:

Draw the needle through any one point from the backside of the card.

Step 4:

Pull the needle and thread all the way through.

Step 5:

Insert the needle through the point next to it.

Step 6:

Draw the needle out through the point opposite to it.

Step 7:

Draw the needle through a point opposite to its current point and continue to do the same.

Step 8:

This is the pattern we’re following for the heart card but you can follow any pattern you want.

Step 9:

We filled the heart shape with parallel patterns in the first round.

Step 10:

Then, we stitched slightly diagonal but parallel patterns for the next round. You can also create random patterns. Just make sure that the final pattern looks nice and balanced.

Step 11:

When you’re done stitching the heart, draw the needle to the backside of the card. Tie 1 or 2 tight knots and cut off extra thread.

Step 12:

You can add a piece of paper on the backside of the stitched heart card to cover the back stitches.
