Beacon Digest

Yes, you can embroider on paper—and it’s easier than you think!

In this playful workshop, you’ll learn how to stitch directly onto photos, cards, and journals. We’ll go over how to prep a pattern, pierce holes with an awl, and use embroidery thread to add texture and detail. You’ll start by practicing on scrap paper, then stitch your own take-home paper journal.

This class is best for adults and  16+. 2-hour, one-time workshop
