Cross Stitch Christmas Gift Tag Patterns

Another use that could be made of Christmas mini cross stitch patterns is making them into gift tags.

It’s not too difficult to turn a little cross stitch project into a gift tag; just mount it to a paper tag or piece of card stock shaped like a tag. You can use decorative tape or glue ribbon to the edges to keep the fabric from fraying.

If you want to design your own cross stitch tags, you can also buy cardstock tags with holes punched in them for cross stitching directly onto. Koomas Kreations on Etsy sells these, or you can get wooden bookmarks that could be used as gift tags on Amazon.

Looking for patterns that are made to be cross stitch Christmas gift tags? Etsy seller Cross Stitch by Coconut has a bunch of different gift tag cross stitch patterns, not all of which are Christmas related, but a lot of them are. There are several sets of Christmas trees, snowmen and other cute designs. These little Santas are super cute.

The Stitch Patterns‘ collection of tags looks really easy to stitch up. Each one is mostly a solid color with a little detail to turn them into a polar bear, reindeer, Santa, penguin, snowman, fox, owl? maybe and gingerbread man.

The tags designed by Ludicrous Threads are actually tag shaped, and the pattern shows them all stitched together as a sampler, but you could also stitch them and cut a piece of card stock to the same size to make a gift tag.

And the Stitchrovia tags are super cute with little sayings such as “for you, but only if you’ve been good” or “VIP very important present.” Each design is 28 by 42 stitches, and these would be so cute to add to a Secret Santa gift or to stitch right onto a bag instead of using as a tag.

Christmas Ornament Cross Stitch Patterns

The other day I shared some cross stitch patterns with ornaments on them, so this time around I wanted to share cross stitch patterns that you can use as ornaments. It would be fun to do a whole tree in your craft room with cross stitch ornaments, or just add a few to your tree or give them as gifts.

These little quilt inspired cross stitch patterns from Flamingo Toes look like ornaments and fit in 3-inch hoops, which are perfect for hanging on the tree or using to decorate a gift. I love the pastel colors on these but you can use more traditional Christmas colors if you like.

This cute Christmas tree from Lagodargetoshop uses a single color and fits in a 4-inch hoop, but you could make it smaller if you wanted by trimming the last ornaments and gifts from the sides, or just stitch the tree without any other embellishments. Either way it’s a cute addition to your holiday tree.

Stitched Modern has a super cute collection of retro Christmas ornament cross stitch patterns from designer Gera. This is a printed pattern that will be shipped to you. Each pattern is about 40 by 56 stitches, or 2.9 by 4 inches/7.4 by 10 cm on 14 count fabric. To work the whole set you’ll need 20 colors of floss.

These snowflake ornaments from Our Little Handmade Home are each about 2.5 inches/6.4 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric, and they use a single color of floss. They are pretty in red but you could also do white on a blue or black background, or whatever suits your other Christmas tree decorations!

From the description it sounds like this set of vintage style cross stitch characters is presented as one large chart, but the photo from Sampler Antique Stitch shows each of them stitched up as their own little ornament, so it gets included here. You’ll find Santa and snowmen in different poses in this cute collection.
