Festive Embroidered Christmas Decorations To Make This Season

For me, the holidays are just another excuse to get out my crafting supplies and create all of the fun and festive embroidered Christmas decorations (or really any kind of handmade holiday decoration). I never feel like I have enough time and the list has become somewhat long of things that I’d love to eventually get to. (Take a look at my Pinterest board for lots of inspiration)

Today I wanted to share with you some Christmas themed projects that would make great ornaments, wall decor, or mantel decorations. Enjoy!

Kitschy Christmas Tree

This colorful Christmas tree gives me all the nostalgia. I don’t know about you, but I love to decorate our tree with lots of handmade ornaments and decorations that my family have handed down to me. Learn how to stitch this tree using a variety of different yarns, flosses, and beads.

Be Merry Christmas Wreath Embroidery

Inspired by vintage Christmas decorations, this little 5 inch wreath design would look great displayed on a shelf or above an entryway.

Nutcracker Embroidered Ornament

This nutcracker embroidery would make such a cute in-the-hoop ornament and it only uses a few basic embroidery stitches!

Embroidered Stocking

Stitch your very own stocking! You can purchase an already made stocking or sew your own, then add names to each one.

Christmas Cat

This embroidery kind of reminds me of the scene in the Chevy Chase Christmas Vacation movie…but this one has a happier ending! haha This little tabby cat is up to no good in the Christmas tree.

Mouse With Christmas Cheer

This mouse is finishing up decorating it’s little hollow for Christmas. This pattern features a fun variety of stitches and the gold accents use metallic floss.

Heirloom Embroidered Advent Calendar

This felt advent calendar created by Hannah at Little Oak Design Co is one that you can come back to and use year after year, making it a special family heirloom and tradition. This beautiful project is available as a downloadable pattern on Etsy or at LittleOakDesignCo.com

Twas The Night Santa Claus and Elves Christmas Ornaments

These felt ornaments are the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. Created by mmmCrafts, these projects involve a bit of felting and sewing, but they also include decorative embroidery stitches and look like they would be an absolute blast to make!
