Back to School: Personalize Your Folders with Embroidery

Personalize your folders with this easy touch.

you'll need Materials

• Plastic folder
• Embroidery floss
• Needle (with a larger threading hole)
• Threader (this makes it easier for younger children)
• Scissors

Directions

• Thread your needle. We find a threader makes it easier for younger children.

• Tie a knot at the end of your floss.
• Start on the underside. We did a pattern of simple lines, but be creative. We used a basic stitch going, “up and down, up and down”. However, be as elaborate as you like!

• When you are done, tie a knot and trim off any excess floss.

Purpose

• Developing fine motor skills.

Safety Notes

• Be sure to exercise care when using a needle and scissors.
