Bright idea
These simple designs can be easily adapted.
Try changing the colours of the aida and
threads to match your table settings or
Christmas colour scheme. Or, you could give
them an extra luxurious touch by stitching
them with metallic thread.
“Every stitcher should be able
to create something extra-
special for Xmas. That's why I
kept these designs simple and
in just two colours. The best bit
is choosing the surprises to put
inside your crackers!”
