There's nothing better thana gift that was handmade! But sometimes, handmade can be a bit...scruffy. So here is a round up of some of my favourite kits that you can use to make your own Christmas gifts, but that your aunt won't turn her nose up at!
This tutorial covers both the Floral Wreath Kit and An English Cottage Garden Kit - both use lavender, sweet peas and daisies to create the feeling of abundance you get in a blooming cottage garden! This tutorial will provide you with all the basics of embroidery, whilst also allowing you to practice mindfulness and create something beautiful.
With this kit I really wanted to create something Christmas themed that wasn't overly traditional / festive. The Christmas Cactus was perfect because it's a succulent, it's pink and fluffy and you can keep it up all year around. This tutorial (to accompanythis kit) will provide you with all the basics of embroidery, whilst also allowing you to practice mindfulness and create something beautiful!
These thistles remind me of little punks with purple mohawks, and one day I will embroider them with tiny google eyes! Embroidery is my number one go to when I'm feeling anxious.
