Tutorial - Hand stitching around the page

Supplies:
1. paper you want to sew around (already inked and distressed the way you want)
2. tape
3. pencil
4. scissors (cutting the thread)
5. thread
6. needle

Draw a curvy/squiggly line on one edge of the paper.

Draw a slightly more straighter line through the curvy one.

Poke holes through the straighter line, using your needle.

After threading your needle, you can tape the end of the thread to the back of your paper. Start sewing, going in and out each hole, starting from one end of the poked line.

Here is how that straighter line looks when completed. Next, use your needle to poke holes in the curvy line.

Using the same method as before, sew.

If you ever run low on thread, tape the end to the back of the paper, thread your needle again, tape it, and continue.


You can always make another hole if you need to as you go along.

Here is how it should look with both lines finished.

Now repeat these steps for the other 3 sides of your paper.

Finished!!!!!
