Worried about your stitching skills? Don’t be! These patterns are specifically designed with beginners in mind. Each ornament features simple, clear instructions and an easy-to-follow chart, perfect for beginners and experienced stitchers as well. Each pattern is a full-page color chart with symbols, making them perfect for those who are new to cross-stitching or want a festive project that’s perfect for a relaxing cozy evening!

I chose pink 14-Count Aida cloth for these ornaments, giving them a charming, festive vibe. The soft pink background also has a bit of shimmer, and who doesn’t love sparkle during the holidays? It also pairs beautifully with the vibrant DMC floss colors, making each ornament a joy to create.

Once your stitching is complete, finishing your ornaments is a breeze! In today’s video, I’ll show you how to finish the ornaments and a few tips for creating the special stitches in this year’s ornaments as well. You can personalize them even further by adding names or dates to commemorate special memories.
