A package of 10 plastic cross stitch star patterns cost me about $2. I was given a bunch of yarn and I made up my own patterns. I did all ten at once.
Approximate Time: 4-5 hours
Supplies:
- plastic cross stitch pattern/backing
- crochet/cross stitch needle
- yarn
Instructions:
- Thread the crochet/cross stitch needle with the yarn as you would a regular needle and thread. Knot at the end.
- Come up the plastic backing from behind where you want to begin and thread all or most of the holes any way you like.
- You can skip holes and simply cover like a pattern as you see in the photo.
- You can also take care to cover all the plastic very carefully if you wish.
- When you run out of yarn, thread some more and begin where you left off.
