Let it Snow - Star Ornament
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Faby Reilly Designs
This star-shaped ornament is an exquisite piece mixing cross stitch, specialty stitches, beads, sequins and metallic threads to achieve an almost jewelry-like effect.
It is stitched on both sides, with a different pattern for each side. The curved shapes of the star emphasize the light-reflecting qualities of the beads, sequins and metallic threads used in the stitching.
The piece is stitched in two parts, then assembled, with sides embellished with seed beads. For ease of use, the chart is presented in two stages, first the cross stitch base, then a second chart with all backstitching and beads. A thorough photo tutorial takes you step by step through the different stages for a perfect finish.
Match it with the delightful Let it Snow biscornu (see below) so you have several assorted ornaments. Faby Reilly has also created several other exquisite star-shaped Christmas Ornaments. See links below.
A tutorial is included with the chart for all specialty stitches.
