Be Merry Holiday Embroidery Project -

This project is a fun one and it only takes about an hour to make! The video will show you how to design and stitch your very own embroidery. For the lettering, I used Canva and then I hand drew and transferred my design over to fabric using a water-soluble marker. One thing to note here is that I don’t provide a stencil for this project, but the video tutorial shows the process of how I designed the embroidery to give you some inspiration!

Video Embroidery Tutorial

Supplies you’ll need:

5 inch embroidery hoop
embroidery floss (I used DMC colors 310, 817, and 3345)
scissors
fabric
water soluble marker or pencil
piece of paper and a sharpie to draw your design

How to Embroider the Letters

First, back stitch the letters in 310. When you’re stitching along curves, I find it easiest to shorten your stitch length a little. This will make the stitches look more smooth.

Stitch the Pine Leaves

Make fly stitches with 3345 and fill in the rest of the stem with back stitches

Stitch the Berries

Make french knots in 817 to fill in the circles of the berries.
