Join Janet and create an Awareness pin using the one needle flat stitch method of bead embroidery

Orange shirt Day project session (up to 3 hours)- Supplies Included
Participants will create an Awareness pin using the one needle flat stitch method of bead embroidery. Each participant will choose the type of pin, the colour of beads and the backing for the project. One row will be beaded around the cabochon to complete the first part of the pin making process. Next, the backing for the project will be cut out, a pin attached and then glued to the beaded side. Participants will then learn how to use the whip stitch method of edging to bring the back and front of the pin together.
