Soul Retrieval Necklace 

Does Valentine’s Day make you remind you of an unresolved love, memory, place, person or experience? Well, it might be because you have left a piece of your heart behind and now it’s time to retrieve it! In this 30-minute workshop, we will gently stitch the pieces of our hearts back together as into an embroidered paper necklace. Inspired by Mexican “milagritos” embroidered necklaces, which often feature a tiny charm (or miracle) in the center of an embroidered design, we will use this technique to mend our hearts and to reunite with all of our hearts’ desires.

Materials:

Embroidery needle and thread
Construction paper
Markers
Scissors
