Fun with Paper!

Meet "Star" and "Mitten" - our newest perforated paper treasures!

 

Star & Mitten

The perforated paper shapes allow for a fast project to stitch and finish. Perfect for cross stitching ornament designs or stitching shapes to put on greeting cards. Stitch kids' names on the star shape for school bulletin boards or school scrapbooks. Stitch the entire shape, or rubber stamp images on the paper then stitch a design on top. These shapes are fast for making a personalized ornament for charity trees, too.

Before stitching, simply remove the perforated sewing card from the paper border. Each shape is like stitching on 18-count, so you can use one strand of Very Fine #4 Braid or one strand of Silk Mori for cross stitching. We recommend a #28 Tapestry needle.

To cover the back of your design when completed, simply use double-sided Treasure Tape (acid-free, archival-quality) to attach decorative paper, fabric, woolfelt or craft felt.

Look for them soon in your favorite needlecraft shops!


Introducing the new and improved
Kreinik Custom Corder™

We're pleased to roll out the second generation of the Kreinik Custom Corder, a handy tool to make custom piping for finishing ornaments, pillows, purse straps, jewelry and more. The new re-design makes it easier and more efficient to use because the weight is now built INTO the handle. Before, you had to keep track of a separate weight for the final twisting process. Now you can use the corder itself. The instructions have also been improved with more pictures and more ideas on making multi-colored cording. The new redesign is available now. Contact your local needlework store for more details.

The Kreinik Custom Corder is a fun tool to use. You can twist colorful Kreinik metallic threads into professional-looking trim. As the holidays approach, this tool makes fast ornament hangers or piping for trimming your holiday designs.
