Va l e n t i n e Te d d y

By Nikki Harvey

Materials Required:

Beige evenweave fabric 10cm x 13cm.

White, Deep Green and Mustard

embroidery thread.

7mm ribbon: Red and Green.

4mm Green ribbon.

Ribbon embroidery needle.

Embroidery needle.

Scrap of White card.

2oz Wadding 7cm x 10cm.

Gold pen and a pencil.

P. V.A. Craft Adhesive.

Card mount: AP51P.

To Make The Card:

Place the open card face down and lay the

fabric face down over the back of the aperture.

Twist the fabric round so the weave runs from

the top tip of the bouquet to the lowest point

in a straight line.

Using a pencil, roughly draw a line approxi-

mately 5mm larger than the aperture all round

onto the back of the fabric. This will serve as a

loose guide for you to stitch within. The rose

stems should be stitched to the pencil line or

further so they go behind the bouquet wrapper.

The rose

heads and

sepals must

finish 5mm

or so from

the line to

stay within

the aperture

area.

Using red

7mm wide

ribbon work

a single lazy

daisy stitch

for each rose,

stitch 12 roses

over the fabric

to form a good

group keeping

the stitches

roughly in line

with the weave

of the fabric.

Stitch a sepal

either side of

each bud using

green 7mm

wide ribbon and

Japanese stitch

as shown in the

diagram.

Using two

strands of green

embroidery

thread, work the

stems in long

straight stitches keeping them roughly in line

with the grain of the fabric. On the taller roses,

stitch small bits of stem between the top rose

heads and the ones below.

Work leaves onto the stems in 4mm wide

green ribbon and Japanese stitch, the exact

amount of leaves is not important as long as

they are not too close together and look natural.

Using two strands of mustard thread, make

small branching stems in straight stitches be-

tween the roses and in the spaces as shown as

shown in the photo. These will almost disappear

in the beige fabric adding to the dainty effect.

Using two strands of white thread, randomly

stitch French knots over the background fabric

to make the Gypsophila.

Draw a small gift tag

using gold pen, mine is

approximately 2cm x 3.5cm

with a pointed end. Thread

the needle with two strands

of mustard thread, push the

needle through the pointed

end of the tag and pull

a short length of thread

through. Unthread the needle and leave the ends loose.

Carefully cut down the front of the bouquet wrapper

to make a slit. Gather all four ends of the tag threads

together and holding the tag toward the front of the

card place the threads across the slit and pull down.

Adjust the amount of thread at the front so the tag

hangs nicely, turn the card over and glue or tape the

ends of the threads to the back of the card.

Cut the wadding to the shape of the aperture. Mount

the embroidery into the card with the wadding behind

to give it some padding. Then glue the card closed in

the normal way.
