Embroidered “I Voted” Pattern
As you know, we’re getting more and more into embroidery (Celebrity crush dolls anyone?!) and the idea of making something that will last a little bit longer than a throw away sticker is really appealing. In this way, it acts more as a patch than a pin. We couldn’t be more proud to let people know that we voted so might as well keep it up all year long!
How to embroider an “I voted” pin
Materials: see above
Instructions:
- Print out the “I Voted” embroidery pattern. Use a sharp pencil to poke through the paper on the felt along the lines of the type (you can also use embroidery transfer paper).
- After poking through with a pencil, remove the paper and lightly connect the dots to create lines.
- Trace around the pattern pieces and cut out pieces following instructions on pattern.
- Once pieces are cut embroider the type with a satin stitch on the smaller pink circle.
- Once that is done, center it on the background felt color and pin them together.
- To connect the back and front, whip stitch the edge of the front circle to the back circle following white stitching.
- Attach last circle to back to create backing.
- Using hot glue attach the broach piece with hot glue.
- Wear around to let everyone know you voted!
If you are printing stickers use the instructions on the sticker paper to create your stickers!
