Create a charming festive decoration with this fully inclusive counted cross stitch kit from Mill Hill. The design features Christmas themed foliage worked in counted cross stitch, further embellished with beaded embroidery and a handcrafted bird button. This delightful design is part of Mill Hill's series of "Button and Beaded" 2023 Winter kits, and makes a lovely project for you to keep, or gift to a friend.
This package contains glass beads, a handcrafted button, 14 count perforated paper, cotton stranded embroidery floss, needles, chartered design and full instructions. Perfectly suited to be finished with a Mill Hill hand-painted frame, which you can find here.
If you have not worked on perforated paper before, this may be of interest - perforated paper dates back to the Victorian era, and has been used by needleworkers to create embroidered pieces to be used as cards and ornaments. This paper is extremely firm and resists tearing but can be cut with scissors or a craft knife. Wrinkles can be removed using a warm iron.
Finished size: 13.3cm x 13.3cm.
Made in USA.
