Mini DIY Round-Up: 7 Cross-Stitch Style DIY's

Livet Hemma

There are so many great DIY's out there (I'm continutally inspired by the creativity and quality). So when I came across all of these cross-stitch style ideas, I had to gather them all for a post. So much to love! Click below for 7 cool ones:

1. Cross-stitch Doormat

The folks at Livet Hemma had a super cool idea - to cross stitch one of their BORRIS doormats (um $1.49) by punching holes with a nail first then stitching using a thick needle.

2. Cross-stitch Letter Sorter

Emi of Small Good Things shows how to add a little craft to your correspondence with some unexpected cross-stitch on a generic letter sorter. Here's the how-to!

3. Cross-stitch Canisters

The folks at Country Living have a fun tutorial on how to apply some cross-stitch lettering to your glass jar canisters.  It involves downloading a free font (Home Sweet Home) and then printing onto transfer paper.  Get the how-to here.

4. Cross-stitch Walls

I loved this painted on version of cross-stitch by Eline Pellinkhof as seen on Bloesem this past year.  Such an effective and beautiful idea.

5. Cross-stitch Handbag

This rather lovely idea is from the folks at Fossil - a DIY mason cross-stitch handbag. Click here for the how-to.

6. Cross-stitch Stool

And many have probably seen this little cross-stitch stool (mentioned here earlier this year) - but certainly worth including in this round-up.  Find the how to at This Little Street.

7. Cross-stitch as Wall Art

These beautiful wall art pieces are by Jessica Decker (I think I've written about her before here). And although these are not a DIY - you can buy them here - they are still truly an inspiration.
