Photo-tutorial is provided illustrating how to make tassels and embroider edges with blanket stitch.

The tassels serve as the ties to hold the bag shut and keep the matzoh inside from falling out or making crumbs while it is being hidden.

Seam and felt the project.

Cut letters out of felt and glue them on with fabric glue. When the glue is dry, use glossy fabric paint to outline the letters. Click here for stencil master copy
