    Flower Boxes

    Fill these with pretty flowers or use them as gift boxes

    20 January 2015

    You Will Need

    • rose diagram
    • masking tape
    • embroidery needle
    • unfolded white cardboard boxes
    • light purple embroidery thread

    Rose diagram

    To Make
    1
    Copy the rose diagram in the desired size.

    2 Cut out the diagram and affix it lightly with masking tape to the front of the cardboard box.

    3 Use your embroidery needle to make holes at each corner of the blocks where a cross-stitch must be worked. Remove the diagram.

    4 Cut a length of embroidery thread of about 30cm and thread it through your needle. Follow the diagram and work the cross-stitch row by row from the centre of the box outwards. Complete the whole design, cutting more embroidery thread as needed. Thread the loose ends in at the back for a neat finish.

    5 Fold the box and place a bunch of flowers in a small vase inside the box.
