We have created a template for WATERMELON
The watermelon has all the same colors as the Palestinian flag. They have become an important symbol after the Palestinian flag was banned after the Six-Day War in 1967 when Israel began its occupation of Gaza and the West Bank. Young men have been arrested for carrying sliced watermelon in the streets as a substitute for flags.
110 NOK from each sale is donated to HEAL Palestine, a non-profit that helps in Gaza with Health, Education, Aid, and Leadership. You can read more about them here. There is no profit on these kits; a small amount from each sale covers VAT, transaction fees, and other expenses.
The kit contains:
- Water-soluble pattern template.
- Sheet with step-by-step instructions on how to cross-stitch, the motif in several sizes, and how to use and transfer the motif if you want to stitch it multiple times without buying a pre-printed template
- 4 skeins of DMC mouliné embroidery floss, in black, white, red, and green
- Needle
If you buy the full kit, 100 NOK will be donated.
If you buy a Solufix template with digital instructions, without threads, 30 NOK will be donated.
If you want to buy a digital file to trace, you can do so here.
Use #mendtheworld #mendforpalestine if you share embroideries on social media so we can reach more people and help more.
We also, of course, encourage you to donate directly to families in need or to Operation Olive Branch. See the link above for more info.
