#HolidayEmbroidery #DIYOrnaments #EmbroideryTutorial

Learn how to stitch a delicate snowflake ornament using two beginner-friendly embroidery techniques.
In Day 8 of 30 Days of Holiday Gift Making, creator Kathleen Lyons walks you through stitching a beautiful pendant-sized snowflake using a backstitch and whipped backstitch. This tiny ornament makes a perfect handmade holiday gift, keepsake, or tree decoration.

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to:
• Prep your thread and stabilizer for delicate ornaments
• Use a clean backstitch to outline the snowflake pattern
• Add dimension with a whipped backstitch (perfect for metallic thread!)
• Control small stitches when working on tiny embroidery surfaces
• Add sparkle details using metallic floss
• Customize the “arms” of your snowflake for unique designs

This project is beginner-friendly, relaxing, and easy to personalize!
