CHART PACK:
Cone-shaped Christmas Decorations (set of 3 hanging ornaments)
CROSS STITCH PATTERN, DESIGNED BY Marie-Anne Réthoret-Mélin
Always full of creative ideas, Marie-Anne Rethoret-Melin has created a wonderful collection of cone-shaped Christmas ornaments that are hand-stitched and made from a single square of fabric, making them super-easy to finish. All you will need is a bit of stuffing and some gold thread for hanging. Shown here are the larger ones, and there are a set of 3 matching smaller ones, so you can create a whole collection.
The stitching combines cross stitch and backstitch and some pretty matte gold seed beads. Charts come with detailed step-by-step instructions and photos for mounting the ornaments.
The ornaments measure about 4.5 inch/11 cm high.
Tip: Hand stitched Christmas ornaments also make wonderful gifts.
