You need this for the boxes:

  • materials
  • Linen fabric in pink
  • round white box (eg set of 3 "nostalgic", 10, 99 €, Ikea, branches www.ikea.de)
  • Colored pencil in pink
  • Embroidery thread in pink and brown
  • Mini Deco Beads in Pink (Haberdashery)
  • double-sided adhesive tape
  • tape measure
  • fabric scissors
  • Sewing machine and matching yarn
  • embroidery needle

And this is how it's done:

1. Cut fabric in the length of the circumference of the box plus about 4 cm and in height a little narrower than the box.
2. Sew all edges about 2 cm.
3. Record the cherry blossom branch with the colored pencil by hand or according to a template (eg from the internet).
4. Stitch the outlines of the flowers in the backstitch (lockstitch) with yarn in pink, the branches in brown. For the inner drawing of the flowers embroider mini-decorative beads.
5. Fix the finished banderole on the box with double-sided adhesive tape.
