Make a Kid-Friendly Embroidery Kit

Once again, Filth Wizardry shares her genius ideas with us: this time, she made a completely amazing kid-friendly embroidery kit using a surprising dollar store ingredient. Her four and five year-old daughters did a great job with this embroidery project, which a little more advanced than a lacing set, but not quite as grown up as traditional embroidery. This looks like it would be a great activity for a scout troop, or a slumber or birthday party. [click here for how to make this kids' embroidery kit]

Project Estimate:

Shelf liner, $1
Yarn, on hand
Steel yarn needles, $1.29 (at Joann)
Optional, pony beads, $1
Markers, on hand
Optional, An image to trace, on hand

Total: $2.29

totally cute! I’ve been working on embroidery with my little girl this week also! Would you also believe that I’ve got a roll of shelf liner in my “crafty closet” just waiting for a chance to shine! LOL, love your posts, you always find fantastic stuff!

Blessings,

Valerie
