Easy Stitch Cards

How we did it:
Materials List
- cereal box (1)
- yarn
- yarn needle - you can also use a pipe cleaner folded in half
- hammer - for grownup use
- nail - for grownup use
-
Cut your empty cereal box to size. (I cut out a 5" x 7" rectangle so that the final masterpiece could be framed.)
-
Draw your design. Or better yet, have your kids draw a fun design.
-
With a hammer and nail, poke holes all along the drawing. I suggest spacing out the holes about 1/4" to 3/8" apart.
-
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.
-
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.)
-
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.
-
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.
