Christmas Craft Project - Cross Stitch Ornaments

Kindly Contributed by: R. Stevens teammanitou@hotmail.com

I like to make ornaments by cross stitching a small item.  Then I coat the back of the stitching with a glue like Aleene's Tacky Glue.  After that has thoroughly dried, I coat the front as well.  When the item is completely dry, cut out the design, 1 block away from stitching.  The glue makes the ornament stiff and shiny, and it protects the stitching from unraveling.  Thread some gold thread through the top for a hanger and enjoy.  I have some I made for my children 8 years ago that still look as good as new, with no cracking or yellowing.
