Step 1: Prepare the template

First download our free templates and print them out. These templates are a great basis for turning creative ideas into reality.

Step 2: Transfer the motif

To transfer the motif of your choice onto the card, place a piece of graphite paper between the template and the card. Then draw over the outline of the motif with a pencil to transfer it cleanly.

Step 3: Trace the contours

Now it's time to trace the transferred lines with a fineliners . This allows the contours to be clearly outlined, which is helpful when pricking the motif.

Step 4: Prick holes in the card

Place the card on the prickle felt. This will prevent you from damaging your table. Take a pricking needle and prick holes at regular intervals along the motif. This will prepare the card perfectly for embroidery.

Step 5: Embroider the card

Cut a piece of embroidery twist in the desired color. A embroidery twist is a special thread that consists of several strands and is used for embroidery work. Thread the thread through the eyelet of a darning needle and tie two knots at the end of the thread. Start embroidering from the inside of the card by passing the needle through a hole from the back and following the pattern. Once you have embroidered the entire motif, tie the thread in a knot on the back of the card.

Additional tip: Decorative lettering

For additional accents, you can cut out lettering with silhouette scissors and glue it onto the card using handicraft glue . These little details give your cards a personal and individual touch.
