Embroidered Note Cards

Credit: Bryan Gardner

This craft takes the art of the handwritten card one step further. First, in pencil, lightly write out the word you’d like on the front of your card. Open the card, place a piece of felt behind the penciled-in word, and use a pushpin to make holes along the letters. Remove the felt, erase the pencil, then embroider the word with a backstitch. (To learn how to embroider, go to marthastewart.com/embroidery-how-to.)
