Halloween party set
W
e love the fact
that Halloween
gives us another
excuse to have fun with our
stitching, and these cute
decorations are the ideal treat
for 31st October. All of the
designs are stitched on plastic
canvas, which makes them very
easy to turn into decorations.
There’s also a very cool secret
to these designs – they’ll glow
in the dark! Perfect for this time
of year, DMC’s glow-in-the-darkthread is part of its Light Effects
range, and while it looks white
when you stitch, it soon reveals
its special trick once the lights
go out. All you need to do is
make sure that the stitching has
been held under a light for a
few minutes to charge.
Whether you’re going all out
this year and want to stitch the
whole set, or make just the sign
to welcome trick or treaters,
you’ll love these fun designs –
they’re simply spooktacular!Stitching
