Gifts for all
1
Gently press your finished
stitching for a crease-free
look. Back with either medium-
weight iron-on interfacing, or
white paper firmly stuck down
with double-sided tape, to
prevent the aida fraying when
cut. Trim a border of around
two aida blocks all around to
create the desired shape.
2
Apply double-sided foam
pads to the back of your
shaped motif. Remove the
backing and carefully position
on your card, taking care to fix
it centrally for a raised effect.
3
Finally, stick a snowflake
embellishment onto each
corner of the card, like ours,
using a glue dot or double-
sided tape. Buttons, sequins or
other festive shapes work just
as well, so get creative for
a personal touch.

“Why not make a Christmas pudding
topper out of this little pud? It’s in
whole stitches only and can be stitched
on plastic canvas and taped to a BBQ
skewer to decorate the real-life pud.”
