  1. Easy Stitch Cards Pin It

    Cut your empty cereal box to size. (I cut out a 5" x 7" rectangle so that the final masterpiece could be framed.)

  2. Easy Stitch Cards Pin It

    Draw your design. Or better yet, have your kids draw a fun design.

  3. Easy Stitch Cards Pin It

    With a hammer and nail, poke holes all along the drawing. I suggest spacing out the holes about 1/4" to 3/8" apart.

  4. Easy Stitch Cards Pin It

    Tip: Make sure to have some padding underneath the cardboard to protect your work surface. I just padded the 5"x7" cardboard with another piece of cardboard.

  5. Easy Stitch Cards Pin It

    Pull out your colored yarn and thread up your needle. (My girls used a plastic needle, which had a large eye for them to thread.)

  6. Easy Stitch Cards Pin It

    Tie a knot at the end and start stitching from the back of the card. Pull the needle up and down to connect the dots.

  7. Easy Stitch Cards Pin It

    These stitch cards are perfect to keep tucked in the car for long trips or even in your on-the-go bag as a quick and quiet activity.
