This sparkly, shiny design is just the thing as a small framed piece to brighten up a corner of your house or to finish as an ornament for your holiday tree.
The design is all cross stitching and simple beading, so it’s easy and fast to work up even for a newbie cross stitcher and is an easy-to-carry portable project for those times spent waiting for car repairs or an appointment.
The Kreinik metallic braids and Mill Hill Beads used in the design are easy to find in most needlework and craft stores.
Get creative! Try other fabric colors and shades of Kreinik metallics and beads to make your designs unique. Zweigart fabrics offer several of their evenweaves with metallic gold or silver threads running through them to make an even fancier finished design.
You can also add cording and heavy braids around the main design when making a pillow type of ornament to add even more bling.
