A pretty vase for summer flowers.

Made out of felt and embroidered.

Cut a piece of felt 3"x5" and embroider using 2 strands of embroidery silk. The girls made these all by themselves.

Fold the felt in half, pin, and sew. I helped the girls make small, even stitches to create the vase.

Hang with a suction cup.

We made these felt vases with test tube flower holders last week while my parents were visiting. My mum, the girls, and I each made one and I sent them to my aunt for her birthday. The girls and I love them so much that we are going to make some more and hang them in our sewing room.
