Tutorials and ideas for making cross stitch ornaments
Spruce up your house with garlands
Want to give your house a Christmassy feel? No need to have set up the tree yet, use garlands!
You can fix garlands anywhere: on mantels, banisters, windows and doors. Cross stitch ornaments being very light weight, they are really easy to fix without any damage. The garland ends will hold with a thumbtack, removable adhesive (such as Blue tack) or even with tape (on glass and windows).
We suggest using tiny miniature clothes pegs (found in craft shops) for hanging each ornament on the garland. The garland itself can be made of satin, metallic or organdi ribbon (1/8 inch size works great), golden thread, fancy metallic yarn or natural twine depending on the feel you want to give.
Garlands can be hung horizontally or vertically, or even at an angle. Be creative and find the place where they look best and enhance the stitched pieces. Make sure there is a good light to show all the beautiful detail of your stitching.
