Every year I like to do a handmade Christmas card (2010 & 2009) this year I decided on cross stitch snowman. I knew they would take time, but they took a bit more time than I expected...
First the top hats, heads and bodies
Next the scarves
Outlines and buttons
Cut out and fray edges
Clean up the backside
Clean up ALL the backsides
Attach ribbon with three additional cross stitches
Sew to card
Finish with flare
It was worth it! Cleaning up the backside, weaving in the edges or whatever the finishing part is to the craft is always the worst.
ReplyDeleteIt's like a Christmas card sweat shop in your apartment.
