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.~Jan

Oh! Such good ideas! Let's cross-stitch everything!
Thanks for posting my Cross-stitch wall art! I just worked with kollabora.com to design some smaller scale (but still large) D.I.Y cross-stitch kits... they'll be up on the site in early September, and I'll send along a link when they're available!

I love everything cross-stich and actually used your #4 example as inspiration for doing something similar in my own home.

The stool and the doormat - that's it! Cool!
Thanks so much for featuring my cross-stitched stool...again :) This is a great little roundup!
I love Emi's (Small Good Things) cross stitch letter sorter. It makes a mundane utilitarian office product into something special and anyone can do this project.
