Who this list is for
This supply list is for crafters planning to make six cross stitch ornaments as holiday gifts or for a winter craft session. It’s designed for people who want to stitch, assemble, and finish small ornaments at home. This is not a shipping or packaging list, but it covers all the hands-on craft materials you’ll need for the project.
How to use this list
Lay out your 14-count Aida cloth and cut it into six pieces, one for each ornament. Select your embroidery floss colors and thread a size 24 tapestry needle. Use the water-soluble fabric marker to mark your pattern area. Place the fabric in a 3-inch embroidery hoop for stitching. After finishing each design, trim the fabric and glue it to a cardboard circle. Attach felt backing with fabric glue, add ribbon for hanging, and decorate with mini pom-pom trim if desired. Use small scissors for precise cutting.
What to skip
Skip any shipping materials or gift wrap—this list is just for crafting. Don’t buy extra floss unless you’re changing colors. Avoid oversized hoops or needles; stick to the 3-inch hoops and size 24 needles for ease. Don’t substitute regular markers for the water-soluble one, as they can stain the fabric.
