Design Works Crafts 1659 Christmas Wreaths, 2-1/2" X 3" Each Cross Stitch Ornament Kit, Christmas Wreaths

Should have read closer because it's plastic and I thought it was regular cross stitch and it doesn't have all different patterns it doubles them but I do like it

These were cute and quick to stitch (about 6-8 hours apiece) but they don’t give you enough material to make 12 ornaments. As you can clearly see from the instructions in the photo you need more than one plastic canvas but they only provided one. There’s only 7 different designs and by squeezing them together I managed to fit in 10 on one canvas. Even with only stitching 10 ornaments I ran out of two colors of thread. Fortunately I had plenty of other thread and was able to finish what I started. I made some twisted rope hangers with extra thread I had and backed them with felt.

I love the size of the plastic canvas and the colours are bright just right for the Christmas designs.

when I ordered this item, I thought that it was stenciled but it was counted cross stitch. really not what I wanted but I have decided to keep it since I opened the package and begin to try it out. the patterns are so small that it is really hard to count. you need a magnifying glasses to see the counts.

Patterns were easy to follow and very cute when completed!

I do a lot of these kinds of kits but have never received one where the floss was just wrapped in a bundle with no sorter and no labeling of the colors (see pic of how the floss arrived). You have to sort and identify the colors yourself. And some of the colors are very difficult to tell (lite red, red, dark red). I received two kits from this company and the second kit was even worse. In addition to the floss being bundled without being sorted or labeled, it was also missing one color completely AND some of the colors included were wrong! They did not match the design. I had go go out and buy additional floss to try to match the design image on the label. I can not recommend this kit or this company, especially for beginners.

The floss is horrible. It's hard to use and it knots up so fast. I don't think I'd buy this again.

Making these for my Grand-daughter!
