Caregiver’s Handwork : Marble Pouches

Handmade Stocking Stuffer: 5 Minute Marble Pouch

Supplies

  • felt cut into a circle with a 6-10cm diameter
  • embroidery thread, needle, scissors
  • beads
  • 2-3 marbles

Let’s Begin

  1. Pass your needle in and out (front then back) through the felt around the circumference of the felt (in a running or gathering stitch)
  2. When you finish the entire circle, thread a small bead through both of them together, tie the two ends of the embroidery thread together with multiple knots and secure the bead  leaving enough slack to pull the pouch strings in and out (there are many ways to do this you can just play around depending on the size of your bead)
  3. Now repeat this process but starting the second running stitch on the opposite side of the circle from where the first bead is
  4. Insert marbles and pull closed
