Beetlejuice Cross Stitch Patterns

With the release of the new Beetlejuice movie and Halloween sneaking up on us, it seems like a good time to share some Beetlejuice cross stitch patterns.

At the most basic there’s the Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice pattern from Brianna Lentz. This free pattern is worked in a single color and is a perfect fit for a 5×7 picture frame.

We also know we should never trust the living, as this design from Avocado Stitchery reminds us. This one also uses only one color but has a lot of back stitching to make the design around the lettering. It’s made to fit in an 8-inch hoop.

One of the most iconic items in the original Beetlejuice movie is the Handbook for the Recently Deceased, and you can stitch the cover with this pattern form Aliton Embroidery on Etsy. It uses six colors and measures 84 by 112 stitches. That’s 6 by 8 inches or 15.24 by 20.32 cm on 14 count fabric. The designer suggests using black or chocolate brown fabric for this one to mimic the book in the movie.

Stitch up cute versions of the Beetlejuice characters with this design from Geeky Stitches. I can’t wait for some of these from the new movie! This set includes Beetlejuice, Lydia, Barbara and Adam and is 80 by 70 stitches. It comes out to 4 by 3.21 inches, or 10 by 8.15 cm, on 14 count fabric and uses 17 colors.

Or you can stitch a creepy version of Beetlejuice himself with Raven Stitch Craft’s design. This woodcut style design is a showstopper that uses six colors and has a stitch are of 233 by 233 stitches. On 14 count fabric that comes out to 16.6 inches or 42.3 centimeters.

For another big and dramatic project from the movie, check out zegihoops‘ design for Dante’s Inferno Room. This one is 238 by 190 stitches, or 17 by 13.6 inches (43.2 by 34.5 cm) on 14 count fabric (both of these patterns offer other fabric options to make it larger or smaller). While the size of it might make it more of a challenge, it also looks like it would be a lot of fun to stitch for a Beetlejuice lover.

Funny Avocado Cross Stitch Patterns

It’s not really that close to Halloween as I write this, but as crafters we’re always looking ahead and spooky season is one of my favorites. If it’s yours, too, or you just like things on the Gothic side, you should enjoy browsing and stitching projects from Ars Onirika on Etsy.

There’s a lot of pop culture inspired designs with a dark twist, from Harry Potter to Beetlejuice, Lord of the Rings to Edgar Allan Poe.

The biggest section of the shop is just called Easy Cross Stitch, but it covers a lot of ground, from text-only designs to stained glass windows, tarot card-inspired designs (I was going to share this one called The Stitcher as it’s relevant to our interests) and a green absinthe fairy.

I decided to talk more about that one instead just because I wanted to call out that while it’s in the easy section, it is labeled more accurately as being an intermediate design, so check those skill levels if you’re a newer stitcher. This one measures 122 to 169 stitches, which comes out to 8.7 by 12.12 inches or 22.2 by 30.8 cm on 14 count fabric. The pattern notes don’t say how many colors it uses, but it looks like a lot. This would be a great one to make for lovers of Art Nouveau or who have a fancy bar.

You’ll also find a large section of medieval and gothic designs, which includes lots of designs inspired by medieval artwork; a fantasy and magic section, filled with Harry Potter designs, fairies, Outlander and more; and classic art patterns, which is pretty much what it sounds like.

There are also alphabets and samplers you can use to make your own projects, a few literary samplers, and a set of Victorian cat designs you can personalize with your cat’s name.

If any of that piques your interest, you should definitely head over to Ars Onirika at Etsy and browse through their designs. Let me know if you see something you like!
