Holiday Bauble Cross Stitch Patterns

I love a good handmade Christmas ornament, and some of these patterns literally are meant to be ornaments, while others are patterns of ornaments, which you could probably make into ornaments or stitch up to hang near the tree. They’d also make cute gift tags for holiday gifts. Read on to discover some super cute Christmas bauble cross stitch patterns.

In the first category, we have this cute Christmas ornament with a car and Christmas tree from Living on the Rainbow on Etsy. This sweet design is meant to be a holiday ball ornament, with instructions for that included in the pattern (she used a sewing machine but it could probably also be stitched by hand). You could also make this design on a card or in a little hoop if you don’t want to make the ball.

The Merry Stitchmas ornament pattern from Kreinik is meant to be placed in an ornament frame, but a small hoop would work, too. It’s worked in silk thread with gold filament accents, making it a fancy looking design that would be great as a gift.

The Starry Ornament cross stitch patterns from Flamingo Toes are ornament shaped but made to display in little festive hoops. I love the kind of retro colors on these, and the addition of pompom trim to the 3-inch hoops for display adds and extra layer of cuteness.

If you just want to stitch ornaments that aren’t necessarily ornaments themselves, check out the Christmas ornament cross stitch pattern from Craft with Cartwright. These pretty retro ornaments are easy to stitch and you can change up the colors to suit your holiday decor.

Or try these little Noel bauble cross stitch patterns from Echevette. The site is in French but you don’t need to read anything to understand this pattern (and the colors are actually listed in English as well as by DMC number so it’s easy to choose colors).

Cross Stitch Patterns to Celebrate Pride

There are so many fun ways you can go when stitching Halloween cross stitch patterns or giving your place a slightly spooky or witchy vibe any time of year. I love the look of little potion bottles, whether they’re real bottles lined up on the mantle or shelf or cross stitched versions like these.

The gorgeous Elixir of Life cross stitch pattern from Makaronka Stitch is decidedly not Halloween in its vibes, so it would be fun to stitch and display any time of year. This is also definitely not a pattern for beginners, as it uses 37 colors and 34 blends to make the beautiful colors. It also uses full and half cross stitches, back stitch and French knots. The design measures 82 by 115 stitches, which comes out to 5.8 by 8.2 inches or 14.88 by 20.86 cm on 14 count fabric.

If you’re looking for something a little smaller but still a lot of fun, check out this set of six potion bottles from MIYA Stitch. I love how each bottle seems to have its own personality, from one with a pumpkin and witch hat to one with crystals, mushrooms, or a butterfly and flower. The patterns are 60 by 88 stitches each. That’s 4.3 by 6.3 inches or 11 by 16 cm on 14 count fabric. The full set uses 26 colors and blends.

Or try this set of five mini potion bottles from Plenty of Strings. I love the colors on these and they’d look great as a set on one piece of fabric or individually stitches as shown. Each one fits in a 3-inch hoop.

These minis from Giselles Cross Stitch are really cute, too, though they are meant to be worked together as one piece. The whole pattern uses 26 colors and measures 93 by 107 stitches, which comes out to 6.6 by 7.6 inches or 16.8 by 19.4 cm on 14 count fabric. They’re perfect on black or a dark blue fabric.

I also like this bigger set of potion bottles from SamXstitch, which is meant to be stitched as a set but you could also work individual bottles in their own frames if you’d rather. The full design uses 10 colors and is 123 by 173 stitches. Taht comes out to 8.78 by 12.36 inches/22.31 by 31.39 cm on 14 count fabric.
