Free Christmas Patterns for Hand Embroidery Gifts

by

December is around the corner, so I have started looking for ideas on how to embroider some cute ideas on different areas to bring Christmas spirit into our family home. I really like creating handmade Christmas cards or bookmarks – but this year will be the first time that I use embroidery on them. If you wish to try something new this year, please, join me on exploring journey.

Minimalist Spruce Christmas card

This is super cute embroidered Christmas card is my own design. We were making Christmas cards with kids and I got this idea for minimalist Spruce Christmas card.

Stitches that you will use:

I used needle, thread (colour of your own choice), harder paper, scissors, scotch tape and a regular compass (for making holes in paper).

Step 1: draw / print your pattern in size you need. Putting cardboard or cutting board under your christmas card paper, put design on top of it. Make holes with compass or needle.

Step 2: Cut the thread you have selected and start in center of your design. I used scotch tape to secure thread. Embroider the lines of spruce. Use scotch tape when you finish design or need to change to new thread.

Step 3: Add additional embellishments if you wish. Congratulations, Your Embroidered Christmas Card is finished 🙂
