New Year is a wonderful holiday that people in every corner of the planet are looking forward to. Decorating the Christmas tree, laying the festive table and putting on the best costume is not all you need to create a festive mood. A great way to feel the holiday is to surround yourself with New Year's paraphernalia. Especially if it is made by hand. In this article we will look at New Year's cross stitch, the scheme of which will be presented below.
Christmas theme
To please yourself and your loved ones, you can embroider a picture of the New Year theme, which will be relevant. For example, let's consider diagrams showing Santa Claus, an elf, a bag with gifts and additional elements.
To embroider such an image, you need to prepare the following materials: canvas, needle, thread and hoop. Choose the diameter of the squares on the canvas depending on the desired size of the picture. But it is worth considering: the larger the diameter of the canvas cell, the thicker the thread should be. You can embroider in two, three or four threads, it all depends on what density you want to get New Year's cross stitch. Scheme,which is presented above contains footnotes of colors. As well as the numbers of floss threads of two popular companies, DMC and ANC. To calculate the number of threads, start from the footage of one skein. It is 8 m, given that the thread, as a rule, is divided in half, it turns out 16 m. The finished picture can be framed or embroidered along the contour of a square, and fringe is dissolved along the edge of the canvas. If you prefer to embroider with acrylic, then you only need the scheme itself to select the color scheme. There are various cross-stitch patterns, New Year's miniatures, fairy tale characters, cartoon characters that can cheer you up. The embroidered picture will be a great gift for the New Year.
Christmas toys
Embroidered Christmas decorations will look very original and stylish on the New Year's tree. Such a creative solution will surely surprise family and friends. A handmade toy will be a great gift. You will be surprised: how can cross-stitch diversify the usual New Year's toys? You can choose schemes for this to your taste.
As you can see in the picture, the shape of the toys may be different, you choose. And now let's take a closer look at how to embroider and shape toys. First, decide on the pattern that you plan to embroider. Next, measure out the canvas twice as much as is necessary for the scheme, and start embroidering. After everything is ready, decide on the shape of the toy and proceed to the pattern of the workpiece. It is necessary to sew the future toy from the wrong side, leavinga small hole through which to turn the product. And fill the toy with cotton wool or padding polyester, and then fasten the loop, sewing up the remaining hole. This is how we managed to combine decorations and New Year's cross stitch. The scheme for a toy may be the simplest, but due to the volume, the end result will be exquisite.
Christmas cards
New Year cards are an addition to the main gift for relatives and friends, and sometimes just a nice sign of attention. Undoubtedly, everyone can buy an ordinary postcard, but not everyone will dare to create a unique one with their own hands. For a beautiful New Year's card, we need colored cardboard, glue and embroidery itself. Choose the size of the picture and its shape, starting from a cardboard sheet folded in half. This will be the basis of the postcard on which we glue the embroidery. To give a flawless look, you can use an additional sheet of cardboard, which is glued on top of the embroidery. A hole is pre-cut in it. Here are examples of such postcards:
It remains to fill the message with pleasant wishes - and the gift is ready. This is another great option on how to use New Year's cross stitch. The scheme for this can be absolutely any, to your taste.
Christmas ornament
Using schemes of New Year's ornaments, you can beautifully decorate tablecloths, handkerchiefs, towels. Thematic patterns will become an indispensable attribute on a festive night. Surprise your household by embroidering a Christmas tree withcones or other patterns. But there is one feature in such embroidery: it is the fabric on which the pattern is applied. A canvas tablecloth is too expensive and impractical. Therefore, crosses are usually applied to cotton or linen fabric.
This is how diverse and limitless cross stitch can be. Schemes (free) New Year's and thematic you see in this article.
Symbol of the year
Don't forget that the New Year is not only Santa, deer, snowmen and other characters, but also the animal symbol of the year. You can take as a basis the image of the animal, under the sign of which the year will pass. Moreover, it will not be difficult to find cross-stitch patterns. New Year's motifs can become additional elements of the finished work. Be creative and don't be afraid to experiment. The symbol of the year can be made in the form of the same toys or postcards, using the technique described above. And you can embroider a large voluminous animal, fill it with filler. Get an exclusive soft toy.
Miniature gifts
With the help of New Year's embroidery, you can beautifully decorate gift wrapping. Make a bag with an embroidered picture in which you can put a gift. This option is as simple as the others. Before starting work, decide on the size of the future bag and the image. For example, below are cross stitch patterns - New Year's miniatures.
After the embroidery is ready, fold the canvas in half andsew on the sides. On top there will be an open side that needs to be decorated. This can be done by folding the edges and hemming them. And then skip the satin ribbon or silk lace. This solution will be practical, because the pouch can now be closed by tightening the tape.
Surrounding yourself with New Year's paraphernalia, you can cheer yourself up and your loved ones. And gifts that are made with love will surely bring happiness to the owner.
