Spending time to create embroidered designs will make any father feel very special. And new handkerchiefs can be the perfect gift!

Paper
Pencil

Embroidery needles
Embroidery yarn

Instructions:
1. Practice creating a special design on paper.

3. Once you have chosen your design, lightly trace the image onto the handkerchief.
4. Choose your color of yarn and begin to stitch.
