Can't find a good cross stitch? Or just want to make your own? This is a great place to do just that!
Steps
-
Design your Cross Stitch. Use the pencils or markers to draw up a design on the graph paper by colouring in the squares.
-
Cut the fabric into a rectangle 20 or more squares bigger than the design.
-
Start stitching! just mark out where to start and GO!
Tips
- If you want, use the pencils to draw the design straight onto the fabric and cross stitch over that *If you make a mistake you can either cut through the thread before the mistake or work backwards.
- If you have a photo or picture you want to cross stitch try tracing it onto the graph paper.
Warnings
- Be careful using the needle and use a thimble if needed.
- If you cut the fabric too small you will have to start again.
