For the summer I bought my daughter a kit of embroidery thread
for making friendship bracelets. It came with so much embroidery thread I got to thinking of other art type projects we could do. Now we are going to have a summer of embroidery! Here are the 10 things we are going to try and do this summer:
1. Learn embroidery stitches for a wall hanging:
2. Make Embroidery Greeting Cards:
3. We will embroider napkins for a gift for the grandmothers
4. Make a weaved pendant:
5. Make a wrapped ring:
6. Fix Up Ally's stained on shirts.
7. Make some bean bags
8. I plan on embroidering some of my kids artwork -- or rather having them do it.
9. I have some wood letters for my kids with their first innisial that I need to do something with. I think wrapping them in thread may be the trick.
10. And of course we are going to make lots and lots of friendship bracelets.
As well as one bonus boy project I am excited to share later this week with everyone!

| I think we will make something like this from Mary Corbet's Needle n' Thread. I like the idea of learning all the basic stitches first. |
 |
| So pretty and old fashioned from Craftsylish |
 |
| I love the idea of doing a truck one too found at rarely there. This can get James in on the action! |
 |
| I love this pendant found at skip to my lou |
 |
| So pretty from I love handmade |
 |
| I saw this idea at Dill Pickle Picnic and think it would be a good solution for fixing up all of Ally's stained shirts |
 |
| I am not a fan of using the sewing machine, but these felt bean bags are easy enough for the kids to do and good for me since I don't like to sew. I found these at Our Big Earth |
 |
| This idea found at Little Birdie Secrets is so wonderful for making your kids art come alive. |
9. I have some wood letters for my kids with their first innisial that I need to do something with. I think wrapping them in thread may be the trick.
 |
| Found at Beautiful Inspirations |
10. And of course we are going to make lots and lots of friendship bracelets.
 |
| Ally has already started on her first one using a wheel method. I think the way I made them as a kid is easier so I will be teaching her all types of ways to knot the thread into a bracelet. |

What great ideas! I saw a girl Hannah's age at church today making a bracelet with this cool contraption. I hadn't even thought before that she was old enough. I definitely wan to try some of these things. Fun post!
