Embroider the DOOR HANDLE with some red yarn.

Embroider the FLOWERS using green strand of yarn for the stems and pink strands of yarn for the petals, and a yarn needle. The flower is created with French Knot embroidery technique.

Insert the needle with the pink yarn connected, wrap the thread around the needle two or three times. Gently pull the thread so that the wrapped thread is tightening against the needle. Insert the needle near the point where needle came out. Hold on to the thread wraps with your left hand and pull the needle to the back. A knot is left behind which looks like a flower blossom.

All Finished.
