Wreath Ornament

Get festive this winter by stitching up a few ornaments to keep or gift.

MATERIALS

  • Linen
  • Wool felt
  • 4in (10cm) wooden embroidery hoop
  • Chenille 18 needle
  • Embroidery thread
  • Scissors: fabric and embroidery
  • Tacky glue

1. Transfer the pattern onto the linen fabric and place the fabric in the embroidery hoop.

2. Stitch the patterns following the keys for the winterberry, the ivy (see Winter Foliage in FLOWERS CATEGORY: Winterberry, Ivy) and the Lenten rose (see Winter Flowers in Flowers Category: Lenten Rose). Work French knots around the wreath with three strands of Ecru.

3. Once the embroidery is complete, trim the excess fabric around the edges of the embroidery hoop.

4. Cut a felt circle the same size as the embroidery hoop; use tacky glue to attach it to the back of the embroidery to cover the stitches.

TO CUSTOMIZE, PAINT OR STAIN THE EMBROIDERY HOOP AND ALLOW TO DRY BEFORE STARTING THE EMBROIDERY.
