How to Make Scissor Fobs

April 22, 2025 by Sarah White

One of the fun things about crafting is that there are a lot of accessories, and sometimes you can craft those accessories or craft things related to those accessories.

One good example of that is scissor fobs. This is definitely a non-essential accessory but it is also fun to give your scissors a little bling and make them easier to find on your crafting table. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve lost my little scissors after just putting them down, and I think having a scissor fob on one of the loops might help.

Sirious Stitches has a couple of posts about making your own scissor fobs, whether you want to make one with cross stitch or by beading.

The older post about cross stitch scissor fobs talks about reasons why you might want to use a scissor fob and how you can make one with a couple of small pieces of cross stitch. This is a great way to make your stitches super fancy or even to code your scissors so everyone else in your household will always know which scissors are the fabric scissors.

They recently posted a new post all about using beads to make scissor fobs, which is definitely a faster option than making a cross stitch tag. It goes through all the supplies you might need and has a step by step photo tutorial as well as a video showing how to make it. This is super helpful if you’ve never done any beading projects before. But you can also just thread some beads onto string and make a simpler version that the one shown.

Do you use scissor fobs? Did you make your own or buy them somewhere? And most importantly, do they help keep you from losing your scissors as much when they are right in front of you? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Labubu Cross Stitch Patterns

For some reason I missed out on the beginning of the Labubu trend (my teen isn’t into it) but now that I’m seeing it everywhere it seems like a good time to look into Labubu cross stitch patterns. 

These creepy cute little monsters show up in all sorts of cute outfits, which makes them fun to stitch for a Labubu lover of any age. 

In cross stitch the pink Labubu seems to show up the most often. You can stitch up this one with a slightly sinister face from MK Cross Stitch Shop. This one is 23 by 43 stitches and uses eight colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 1.64 by 3.07 inches, or 4.17 by 7.8 cm. 

There’s also this fuzzy little monster from Alya Cross Stitch, which uses six colors on a project that’s 100 by 169 stitches. 

Or try this lovely little Labubu with a flower in its hair. This one is by Stitch Heart UA, and would be perfect for a little kid’s room or as a decoration for spring. It measures 93 by 128 stitches, which comes out to 6.6 by 92. inches/16.9 by 23.3 cm on 14 count fabric. It uses 17 colors and 5 blends.

If you want to just stitch the faces, I like this collection of Labubu heads to cross stitch in different pastel colors. This design from Stitched by Sophie AUS has 23 colors and measures 120 stitches square. That comes out to about 8.6 inches or 22 cm square on 14 count fabric. 

Or you can make a little collection of different characters with this set from Sampler Cross Stitch. Stitch one or stitch them all. Each one is 30 by 60 stitches, or 2.57 by 4.57 inches/6.5 by 11.6 cm. 

How about a Halloween themed Labubu? I love this one from Handiwork of Natalie, who also has some other themed Labubu cross stitch patterns. This one is 66 by 99 stitches and uses 12 colors. It suggests cross stitch fabric that’s 4.75 by 7 inches or 12 by 18 cm.
