π¦π 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! βββββ βThe full pattern includes all the numbers to customize the year, as well as the details for finishing if you want to make ornaments!
βββββ 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.
βββββ 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! |
