ON THE BORDERWhen you need a mid-morning

cheer-me-up, stitch-able coasters do the trick. With four in each kit, it’s up to you to decide: All four the same?

Or different designs with coordinating colors?

BIRD’S THEWORD

If you’ve got a penchant for painting, brush a scene onto a wooden

cross-stitch blank before stitching away. Tip: Cover the back with felt to hide

remaining holes and floss ends.

CHAIN GAMEHere are the keys to success for this craft: 1. Use hoop to trace circle onto fabric. 2. Stitch design

inside circle. 3. Cut around stitching, and glue into hoop. 4. Add length of floss to hide raw edges.

PETAL PERFECTAn embroidery blank frame becomes a

work of art with a coat of paint, a few clever stitches and a flower from Paper Crafts.

OFF THE CUFFFor unique-as-you accessories in a jiffy, keep

the embroidery to a minimum—simple lines and shapes are all you need! Then let acrylic craft paint, charms and premade bracelets

do the heavy style lifting.

TOTALLY BLOSSOMWho says an embroidery hoop has to involve

stitching? Not us! Cut flower petals and leaves from felt, glue to hoop, and attach

to chain with jump rings (Jewelry).

MINI MASTERPIECEThe best part of DIYing is making your own rules. So if you want to weave on an embroidery blank, you go for it!

We threaded our warp on a coaster blank, went to town with woven triangles, and framed it with long, floss stitches.

STORY TIMEOnce upon a time, bookworms met

needle art. They stitched custom designs onto bookmark blanks,

added thick floss tassels, and everyone lived happily ever after.

FEAR KNOTThese furry friends come pre-

punched and ready for stitching. Try French knots for fluffed-up

texture, and add touches of personality with patterned

paper, jute, flowers and ribbon.

TAKE NOTEAny reason is a good reason for

handstitched cards—and with six cards in a pack, you can use every

stitch in your repertoire.Tip: Embellish with trinkets from Paper Crafts and Jewelry Making.

STITCH IN TIMEBirthday time, that is. The gift tag portion of this celebratory duo starts as a bookmark blank, gets a sampling of stitches (the chevron pattern is a must!), and finishes with two snipped corners,

a paper backing and string.
