Christmas Tree BaublesCompleted by Margaret Swaby

When I first printed this sheet out and saw that there were no markings for the stitches, I was a little daunted.

However, I hate to be beaten and after a little thought , I decided that it cant be too much different pricking out the stick holes when there are no markins as when there are.

I actually found it very easy but you do need to take your time so that you get them straight.

I used random metallic thread and thought that it looked quite effective.

There are some baubles on the sheet for you to decoupage but I decided not to on this occasion and instead I used a red peel off bauble .

On the baubles on the tree and the star on the top I used flat back self adhesive gems to add a bit of sparkle.

I felt that the end resuult was better than I was anticipating.

The card is small and light enough to be cheap to post and looks as though you have made a bit of effort with it, but in actual fact it was one of the quickest stitched cards that I have done.
