The other day I shared a collection of small Easter cross stitch patterns, and I almost immediately came across another Easter/spring themed mini set that I wanted to share.
The spring baubles collection from sosaecaetano on Etsy includes eight tiny spring-themed designs. Some of them are like little ornaments you might hang on an Easter tree, but there’s also a chick, a bunny, a carrot and a radish.
When worked all together the design is 4.5 by 5 inches, perfect for displaying in a little hoop.
Of course you can stitch them all together, sampler style, and make one piece of hoop art. But the fun doesn’t have to stop there! Here are some ideas for ways to use mini cross stitch patterns no matter the season.
- You could collect a bunch of minis on a theme (like all bunnies or chicks or Easter eggs) and stitch them together as a sampler.
- Use a repeating design of minis as the border on another project.
- Stitch a single design onto a card of gift tag.
- Stitch one or several designs onto a bookmark.
- Add them to the corner of a napkin.
- Use several on an apron, tea towel or table runner.
- Stitch designs individually and put in small frames. Make a set of frames to be a bunting, hang together on a wall or display on a table.
- Stitch onto a piece of clothing to cover a stain (or not!).
- Make mini designs into tiny pillows for use in a doll house or for kids to use in small world play.
I’m sure you can come up with other uses, these are just the things that came to me off the top of my head. There are so many fun ways to use mini cross-stitch patterns that I’m sure once you get started you’ll want to stitch a ton of tiny things to decorate everywhere and for every season!
