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?

Cross Stitch Ice Cream and Frozen Treats

Summer is the time for sweet treats, whether eating them or stitching them. This collection of patterns is full of designs that are good enough to eat. Almost. 

This year of ice creams from Simone Balman Art is lots of fun, and you could also stitch up these treats individually if you’d rather. The full piece is 210 by 300 stitches, though it’s not full coverage. It uses 25 colors and comes out to 13.6 by 20.1 inches, or 34.5 by 51.2 cm, as shown on 14 count fabric. 

These mini Popsicles from Mariana Gonclaves ART as super sweet and quick to stitch. These would also be a fun border to another summer project. The full design is 43 by 46 stitches, which is 3.1 by 3.3 inches, or 7.8 by 8.3 cm, on 14 count fabric. 

Sam X Stitch has this fun sweet treat sampler, which again would be fun to stitch as individual pieces (maybe on napkins?). In all it calls for 18 colors and measures 153 by 153 stitches. That comes out to 10.93 inches or 27.75 cm on 14 count fabric. 

Another great sampler is this one with ice cream and other sweet treats from Cute Patterns by Maria. At 119 by 132 stitches total, working the full pattern would be about 8.6 by 9.4 inches, or 22 by 24 cm on 14 count fabric, and it uses 33 colors. You can also stitch individual designs, which range in height from 35 to 45 stitches, and in width from 11 to 28. 

This collection of four sundae patterns from Stichrovia would be fun to make for a kitchen or a teen’s room. Each pattern is around 40 by 50 stitches, so they should fit in a four or five inch hoop if worked on 14 count fabric. 

Or stitch up one of the treats from Stitch Chart Studio‘s collection of seven ice cream cross stitch patterns. These range in size and in number of colors needed, but most would fit in a five or six in hoop (and one in a four inch hoop).
