lightly trace template onto felt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

lightly dot a basic plan for veins<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

knot floss and begin (leaving knot on the wrong side)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

keeping floss to the left, begin stitching<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

always with floss to the left, overlap your stitches a bit if you like<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

this first twisted vein is ready to end<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

use the wrong side to “jump” to a new spot to continue veins<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I chose for my side veins to never cross over the central one<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

the wrong side will look ugly and that’s okay<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

veins complete! Maybe do the same for the second leaf so when we sew the 2 sides together, they will both have veins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

No one will ever see this because it will be between the 2 pretty layers of felt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

knot some twine to form a small loop for hanging your leaf on a garland if you like<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

hot glue the twine loop to the wrong side of one of your felt leaves<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

begin blanket stitch: form knot and keep it on the wrong side of felt leaf<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

keeping floss to the left, make a second stitch in the same hole (or close to it)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

always keeping floss to the left, make stitches around the edge<\/p>\n\n\n\n

this will cause the floss to frame the outside edge of felt leaf<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

finished project should look something like this<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
