Inspirations from Christmas Stocking Cross Stitch Patterns

You can even use your Christmas stocking cross stitch patterns to make smaller or larger stockings, or turn them into tree ornaments! Using plastic canvas gives you numerous choices for projects, and is durable enough to hold the contents of that stocking -- but it will only be filled with gifts if you were good this year!

While you are thinking about Christmas decorations, think of the other items you can use cross stitch or needlepoint to decorate: Little boxes for candy. Santa Claus pillows. Personal gift tags! The possibilities are endless.

If you prefer embroidery to cross stitch or needlepoint, you can rework a purchased stocking. Just embellish it with your embroidery. You can stitch a person's name onto it, or stitch a cozy Christmas or nativity scene. Christmas is such a wonderful time of year, but if you are ambitious and want to complete all these projects, you should start in July!
