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.
