Label

:
Cut a piece of white felt that is approximately 3” by 2” (I used pinking shears to get the crinkled edge). Using black DMC/embroidery floss and a sewing needle, stitch the word “Honey” onto the felt as shown in the picture. Stitch the label onto the outer shell using a 12” length of white DMC/embroidery floss and a sewing needle.

Insert inner shell into outer shell. Using a length of yellow yarn and a yarn/tapestry needle, tack the bottom center of the inner shell to the bottom center of the outer shell. Using the tail you finished the inner shell with and a tapestry needle, sew Rnd 14 of inner shell to Rnd 17 of outer shell. Weave in ends.

ch 30, join to first ch with a sl st to form a loop.
