Cross Stitched Gift Tags for Christmas or Whenever

by

cross stitched holiday gift tagsI am pretty much in love with these cross-stitched gift tags from Craft and Creativity. They use purchased gift tags with holes in them, but you could punch holes in card stock tags to get a similar look.

The ones shown in the pattern (which is in both English and Swedish) have holiday/winter motifs like a snowflake and a reindeer, but you could use the same idea to make any simple little design you wanted for any gift-giving occasion that needed a little more handmade flair.

Is this something you would make? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

  1. I really want to purchase these gift tags, but when I went to the site to purchase it was all in Scandinavian. I could not figure out how to. Any suggestions? I just think they are adorable and would add such a nice touch to all my gifts. Thank you!

  2. Google Translate did a good enough job that I can see they are out of stock. A quick search on Amazon (looking for gift tags to cross stitch) came up with a couple of things, but they aren’t the same.

  3. I been looking all over to purchase these kind of things for stitching, where can I find them?

Backpack Cross Stitch Patterns

These backpack cross stitch patterns aren’t like the backpacks you would use for school, but they might inspire you to go on a different sort of adventure, and pack your sense of humor. 

When it comes to funny cross stitch, this Adventure Awaits rubber ducky cross stitch pattern from Relaxing Hobby Studio is super cute. It uses nine colors and measures 52 by 75 stitches, which comes out to about 3.8 by 5.4 inches, or 9.7 by 13.8 cm, on 14 count fabric. 

I also love this little pigeon adventurer from Happy Cross Stitchers. Actually, with hoodie and sneakers this pigeon does look like he’s ready for school! This one measures 88 by 138 stitches and uses 13 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to about 6.2 by 9.8 inches, or 15.97 by 25.04 cm.

This sleepy cat is ready for an adventure as soon as they wake up from their nap. This sweet design from MoonLit Patterns features a kitty curled up on a backpack and wearing a knight’s helmet. This project uses 19 colors and measures 130 by 130 stitches. That makes it about 9.3 inches square, or 23.6 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric. 

Or stitch up this backpack filled with flowers from Owl and Thread. This looks like just the bag you’d want to have for a walk in the forest or a spring meadow. The design is 71 by 90 stitches and uses 32 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to about 5 by 6.4 inches, or 12.9 16.3 cm.

I also like this kind of watercolor look girl with a backpack pattern from StitchALong Studios. You can change the color of hair and clothes as you like. As shown it uses 20 colors and is 90 by 132 stitches. That’s 6.375 by 9.375 inches, or 16 by 24 cm, if you work on 14 count fabric. 

If you’re looking for a design with more of a fall or winter look, check out this girl with a backpack wearing a hat and coat from GlamourXStitch. At 150 by 150 stitches, this one uses 26 colors. It comes out to 10.71 inches, or 27.2 cm, on 14 count fabric.
