Embroidered decorations
These lovely wooden discs make excellent bases for kids to embroider. The wood gives a firm surface with large holes and is easy for children to handle. These discs are available from our website as part of our EMBROIDERY & WEAVING craft box or sold individually HERE.
We used our embroidered discs to make pretty decorations to hang on our Christmas tree.
MATERIALS:
- Wooden embroidery discs
- A selection of different coloured yarns and think cord
- Wooden beads
- Pipe cleaners (optional)
- Tapertry needle
- Scissors
HOW TO:
Set out an inviting selection of coloured yarn and wooden beads. We used tapestry needles which have a rounded tip so there was no chance of pricked fingers! Let your little ones begin their embroidery. I found that my little one (age 3) could manage the activity but did end up in a bit of a tangle! So this activity is probably best suited for 4+ age range.

+About Us
Mini Mad Things is created by Mum, designer and craft enthusiast,Eleanor Ford.If I had to introduce myself in one word, I would say I am a maker.I grew up in a house where we made things. We learnt to sew and to knit; to saw, hammer and build. My Mum baked bread every day and we grew vegetables. We learnt to fix broken things. We were resourceful. All of these skills made me who I am and ignited my love for craft. This passion for making is something I would like to pass on to my children and to others; it is the reason for creatingMINI MAD THINGS.As well as creating all the fun kids craft project ideas here on our blog, we also sell a range of CRAFT BOXES, BOOKS and ECO ART SUPPLIES.
