Materials needed:
- Kreinik threads in holographic colors—these have an "L" in the color number, such as 002L. See the colors we used listed on the downloadable PDF.
- 14-count Aida in metallic opal/minty green (Zweigart #3706/6219/43) or similar fabric
- #22 and 24 tapestry needles

- 2 1/2” piece of cardboard and small piece of quilt batting, or Press-On foam ornament shape
- clear monofilament thread (optional)
Instructions:
- Backstitch this design on your fabric following the main graph and color key.
- Add a straight stitch with 1/8” ribbon 002L Chromo Gold for the ornament hangers (see photograph for suggested placement). Add a bow with the 1/8” Ribbon 002L.
- When stitching is complete, trim design to within 1” of stitched area. Trim your 2 1/2” piece of cardboard or Press-on foam ornament shape to a desired triangle shape (ours came out to be about 2 1/4” x 2 1/4”. Lay stitched design centered on the ornament shape (add the quilt batting if desired to puff it up a bit). Lay a piece of Treasure Tape on the back of the ornament (or use glue) and fold fabric to the back to secure. Cover back with piece of felt trimmed to size.
- Create your cording by using threads from the pattern and the Kreinik Custom Corder (follow instructions that come with the corder). Attach cording using a thin Blending Filament color or clear monofilament thread.
