It's that time of year again! The time when we all get together with our loved ones and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. But before you put up your tree, light a fire in the fireplace, and drink hot cocoa while watching Christmas movies on TV, why not try something new? Try the Christmas cross stitch kits to add some fun and create unique gifts. In this blog post, you will get to know five cross stitch gift ideas for Christmas so that you can do just that.  

1. Calendar 

A calendar is an essential tool for recording critical dates in your life, and it's easier than ever to DIY. Mountboard calendars are perfect because they are inexpensive (and easy) to make. Just purchase a block from any craft store or online retailer like Amazon that has all twelve months printed on it. Then attach them with double-sided tape so you can hang up this tiny artwork anywhere around the house without worrying about damaging walls/ceilings. 

2. Christmas Cards  

The possibilities for a customised Christmas ornament are endless. You can create the perfect gift that's just right for your loved ones and their interests with these easy-to-stitch ornaments. If you're feeling creative enough, the options aren't limited to symbols like penguins, bears, and even beer rabbits.  

3. Tree decorations  

Give the person who has everything a unique and memorable gift this Christmas. Maybe they can decorate your tree with it, or perhaps you could hang one as decoration for their office cubicle wall. Many different designs use perforated paper, which means you don't need whole cross stitch patterns. All of which have relatively straight edges anyways. Since these will be trimmed before being stitched together on square parts at each edge leaving only 1/4 inch gap between them.  

4. Gift Tags  

Making your gift tags is simple. All you need to do first, glue on some fabric and then use double-sided tape to attach it to the card. The result? A personalised touch that makes any present more memorable than ever before.  

5. Ornament bag 

For this project, you will need a small bag to decorate. This little gem of an ornament can be made from anything that has cloth or thread on it, but if your item is thin and light, enough then just stitching the design onto its surface works too. Once done with stitched lines for decoration, sew up three sides, so there's no chance water seeping through during holiday celebrations next year.  

Bottom Line 

Christmas is near, and it can be stressful, but making items with small designs for the home or family members will help that stress. Most people who cross-stitch know that they are great as gifts because even though you might not see them every day like other types of crafts do, your loved ones still have something special just by having this particular project done in their hands.
