Tools and materials
For this project, you will need:
- Printed pattern. Download a FREE printable pattern and Color guide
- White felt material, 8 x 12 cm (3,2 x 5 inches)
- Embroidery floss. I use DMC cotton floss. You will find color codes of my suggested three different color combinations in the download
- White sewing thread
- Embroidery needle. I recommend using needle No. 8 for two strands of embroidery floss.
- Sharp big needle, big enough to accommodate a ribbon
- Scissors
- Ribbon 30 cm (12 inches)
- Wooden or plastic bead with a large hole, big enough to accommodate a ribbon
- Some stuffing material (polyester stuffing, cotton or similar)
Transferring the pattern
Cut out the paper Egg shapes from a printed pattern.
With a large sharp needle, make holes on the dots that mark the center of the flower. Place the model on the felt material and trace a shape around. Through the holes that you made, mark the center of each Daisy. Use a friction pen for transferring, as it is easy to erase later.
Embroidery
For this project, you will use these stitches:
- French knots to make the center of the Daisy. Watch a video tutorial of French knots HERE
- Detached chain stitch (Lazy Daisy stitch) to make petals of the flowers and leaves. Watch a video tutorial of Lazy Daisy stitch HERE
- Blanket stitch to sew pieces together. The tutorial of the Blanket stitch sewing is HERE
Start with French knots. Embroider a knot on every dot you have transferred
Add the petals. First, embroider four petals, then add a chain stitch in between petals that you just made.
Embroider all the petals on both sides of the Egg. Then, add some leaves.
Assembling the Egg
Cut out from the felt both parts of the Egg with embroidered Daisies.
Remove the tracing marks. If you used a Friction pen, you would easily remove tracing marks with a hot hairdryer of an iron.
Put both parts together and sew them with a Blanket stitch, using the white sewing thread. At the bottom, leave a hole for stuffing.
Put the stuffing material inside the Egg and finish sewing. Close the hole and secure the thread.
Thread a ribbon into the large sharp needle and pass it through the felt material at the top of the Egg.
Put a wooden bead on top.
Your Easter Egg decoration is ready!
