🦌🎄 Christmas Deer Cross-Stitch Ornament Pattern
|
Hey Reader! I love making DIY Christmas gifts! Whether it's a hand-knitted sweater, or a fast and easy gift that only takes a few minutes. This simple counted cross stitch pattern features a Christmas deer wearing a red and green floral crown. It can be used on its own, or turned into a gorgeous Christmas ornament!
A while back, I wanted a handmade Christmas gift option for all the women in my family. One that I could make in just a few hours but that would still provide a lot of "WOW" factor when it was opened! Obviously, I made these a few years ago, but the pattern includes all the numbers, so you can make it for any year you want! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The full pattern includes all the numbers to customize the year, as well as the details for finishing if you want to make ornaments!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Making your own ornaments is a great way to decorate your tree for Christmas within a budget. These upcycled DIY Christmas ornaments are an easy craft to take old ornaments and give them a brand new look.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ About 10 years ago I made a set of these gorgeous cable knit ornaments for myself and my mother-in-law. Mine were made in cream and I believe hers were deep purple! They have held up so well and look brand new still! Plus, they are so easy to make and only cost a few dollars per set! |
