Christmas Heart-Shaped Ornaments Supplies

 Hi there, I’m glad you’re here!

All Christmas Heart-Shaped Ornaments are sized to fit nicely in a  6” (15 cm) embroidery hoop.

I’ve used a cross-stitch needle size 26 for 3 strands and less. If you prefer sharper needles, try a size 9 or 7 embroidery needle.

Here’s everything you’ll need, with links to the supplies I use:

Fabric

You’ll need approximately 8.5 x 10 inch (21 x 25 cm) of medium-weight fabric (around 230 gsm).

• Cotton-linen blend

Pattern transfer

• A transfer pen: black Pilot FriXion heat-erasable pen.
• Lightbox (A4 light box for tracing), or a sunny window for pattern transfer

A little tip before you shop

I always recommend checking your local craft stores first. It’s a lovely way to support small businesses, and there’s something special about choosing your fabric and threads in person.

I’ve included online links above as a convenient option if you can’t find what you need locally.

A little note: Some of the links in my supplies lists are affiliate links. If you purchase something through one of these links, I may receive a small commission, at no extra cost to you. Thank you for supporting my work! ❤️
