Don’t worry – the rest of the silk paper tutorial is coming soon :-) I’ve got an easy kids craft, perfect for getting kids interested in sewing:

Cut two basic flower shapes from felt and sandwich a pipe-cleaner (folded in half and twisted together) between the two. Cut a small circle from a contrasting piece of felt (the one I’ve used is approximately an inch and a half across). Use one strand of embroidery floss (doubled-over and knotted at the end so the child can’t pull the needle through the hole) and make short running stitches through all three layers of felt.
Presto! An easy spring-time flower – and quick enough so you can make an entire bouquet :-)
