Finishing Cross Stitch Perforated Paper Ornaments, Stitch-Mas Day 2

[@dalev5270]

I discovered adhesive red velvet from Amazon (used for jewelry box lining). I put a hanger in between the paper and the velvet and cut out. Don't have to mess with the glue like i have in the past.

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

oooh I'm going to look that up!!

[@leslieprice9224]

perfect instructions, particularly suggesting white or gray felt for backing! Huge thank you

[@lorischager4029]

Great video, I do my perforated paper ornaments with perforated paper on the back, it has worked for me and makes them stiffer.

[@beckyhautanen1774]

Thank you! I stitched a Santa on perforated paper several years ago and now I know how to finish him! Well done!

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

You are so welcome!

[@elizabethgilbert1884]

Glad you liked it!!

[@maureenlopez9266]

Love that you're doing these stitches videos!!!

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

I'm so glad!

[@sallyknotwell1605]

Thanks for a great instructional video. I have a couple of the Mill Hill ornaments in the works and had not decided how to finish them. This just sealed the deal. You are awesome!

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Thank you so much!! So glad you found it useful!

[@kriskolpin7923]

Thanks for the video Liz! They’re so stinking cute!! I’ve done a few Mill Hill ornaments this season and I like to use up the extra beads by beading the floss hanger…gives it even more of a glittery finish. Happy Holidays!

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

So stinking cute! I've thought about doing that! Maybe i'll try that on the next one I finish!

[@messymia2899]

Great video!! You make it look so easy!! Thanks for taking time to do this for us!!

[@ritaneil1617]

Good job Liz love them

[@michellemybelle22]

I love this satsuma pattern! I picked up stitching again during the pandemic. When I had anxiety and couldn’t sleep I stitched! I made almost 50 ornaments since then. I glue them to heavy cardstock backings, then cut them out after they dry. This has worked well too.

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

That’s awesome!! I love making ornaments!

[@suzeezee8196]

I have never done anything with perforated paper! Your Santa turned out adorable!

[@famvanas593]

Thanks for this video. I learn a lot of you

[@brontebenoit6181]

I think it looks lovely with the red felt. Is there anything Elizabeth can’t do? 🤩🤩🤩

[@lisacleveland1519]

Thank you. Your ornaments are beautiful!

[@carollorion5130]

Thank you. Such a good tutorial.

[@daniofallarts]

I knew there would be a needle minder in there! I also think there will be a floss drop ... ya know the whole package for stitchers lol ... maybe even a thread catcher that matches the bag? idk

[@kathyhaymaker840]

They are adorable!!! You made me nervous with the huge scissor but you did great!! I love to stitch on the perforated paper!! Your tree is beautiful!! 🎄🎄🧵🪡💛

[@sheliaburton541]

Thanks so much, adorable!!!

[@pennysdaughtershares8227]

Thank you for sharing, Liz!💚 Have you tried glueing (sp?) the pre-cut ornament to the felt and then trimming the felt? This would eliminate the step where you trace. It’s been a looooong time since I finished one of these ornaments - but I’m pretty sure that’s what I did at the time. And I 100% agree with using a felt that matches your perforated paper!! Definitely will disguise any little trimming bits. 😊 Awesome video!!💚

[@pugs_and_stitches4675]

Just finishing one of my Mill Hill ornaments for a gift for my daughter and this is perfect. Your tutorials are always so informative and approachable to try. Thank you Liz!!

[@laurafitz2145]

What a clever way to “hide” the chart and not give too much away. Your tech skills are amazing!!! Thanks. I’ve been making Mill Hill ornament kits for years and never saw the Satsuma Street until you started showing them on your FlossTube videos this year. If you have a musical friend, Mill Hill has a gorgeous set of Christmas orchestra ornaments. I made a set for my Mom, who is a pianist and also plays the organ at her church. She loved them and even insisted that I put a pin back on one of them for her to wear over the holidays. I don’t stitch a lot of Halloween, but love this Satsuma Street Santa. P.S. I’ve even used kraft paper to back some of the ornaments. Thanks again, Liz, for doing another tutorial.

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Thank you! Yes I realized while editing I showed the chart but luckily iMovie has different weird filters you can apply so that filter made everything look kind of hand drawn, haha oops! I've seen those instrument ones, they're beautiful!

[@ByHilaryJordan]

This is such an adorable project!

[@beckykohn8480]

Thanks for sharing. Great tutorial!

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@pamlacey136]

So fun!!

[@ashleypage9483]

Thank you so much for taking the time in this busy season to share. I have some Mill Hill ornaments that I finished many years ago and love hanging on the tree every year. Love Love your videos!! Merry Christmas! 🎄❤️

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Thank you so much!! Merry Christmas!

[@tammytotten401]

Thank you so much for this video, I needed it!

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

You are so welcome!

[@stephaniecampbellweitzman3591]

Those scissors look familiar 😍 glad they are coming in handy, your ornaments look great, you should try the adhesive velvet, so easy to use and it looks great

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Yes! Love those scissors! I looked that up, definitely trying it out on my next paper ornament!

[@sandiecramer3423]

What brand are they ( scissors). Not happy with 4 types I have tried.

[@sandiecramer3423]

@@elizabethanncanstitchdo you know what brand of scissors she is using for the small trim? Thank you..

[@theweestitcherdee6468]

Great video. You are so talented.

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Thank you so much!

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

So cute!! I stitched a bird on aged perforated paper and framed it! Your ornaments are adorable!!!!

[@tinageorge8759]

Thank you Liz, I’ve never done a Mill Hill kit before and you’ve made it look so much easier than I had thought! 💚

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Thank you Tina!!

[@rhondazamora8136]

Thanks!❤️

[@theresachucle5362]

Great video thank you for sharing have a wonderful weekend and happy stitching 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Thank you! You too!

[@sherriplocinski8721]

This was great. I did 2 Mill Hill ornaments this year for my grands and this was just in time to help with the finishing. ❤️

[@sherryb6373]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. Love that Satsuma Street finish. I'm going to give this a try.

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

You are so welcome!

[@taylormitchell6364]

Been waiting for this tutorial, thank you! 😍

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

You’re welcome 😊

[@stitching_geri]

Thank you for the great tutorial ❤️ I have some little stocking ornaments that I haven’t finished because I didn’t know what to do….now I can do it though!!

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

yay i'm so glad!

[@sandracopeland5649]

❤️ it!!

[@carolyndelong7558]

I use double sided acid free Stitchery Tape from Yarn Tree. Works great for finishing and framing.

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Excellent! I have some of that but I prefer glue for odd shaped things!

[@louisepetit8999]

Thank you for the tutorial

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

You’re welcome 😊

[@TheStarletStitcher]

I haven’t done a mill hill kit before, but do have a super cute Christmas hot chocolate one that I may start soon. I think it’s too big to be an ornament (5x5 maybe?) but I have many on my wishlist that I’ll happily borrow your finishing strategies on. 😊

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

ooh I need to look up that hot chocolate one, sounds cute!!

[@kathyr186]

Thanks

[@sandiecramer3423]

What brand small scissors do you use..mine " crush" the paper when I'm trying to trim the small areas..I have purchased 4 brands none of which does the small job sections.

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Oh really? These are just from Michaels, their brand, but they have a really pointy tip, maybe that helps?

[@sandiecramer3423]

Thank you for the response..I will check their brand out..I am returning too expensive pair to Amazon today...Appreciate your responses. SC

[@Kaar333]

Beginner here - Is there a reason you don't glue it down and then cut the felt around it? I would think it would save you from drawing and trimming.

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

You probably could do it that way but I wouldn't like having the felt to deal with in addition to the paper when i'm trying to carefully cut out the paper and not snip any stitches! Someone did tell me about a thin adhesive backed velvet though which I want to try out. I think with something thin you could definitely "glue" first cut second a little more easily!

[@eileengabrovic7158]

Don’t forget to sign and date the ornaments❤️

[@mary-louw2946]

Couldn't you glue the felt to the back of the ornament and cut out both pieces at once? Just a thought.

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

You could! I don't like it because I like to be super precise when cutting around the stitching and the perforated paper and the felt adds too much thickness for me so I do it in 2 separate steps! Someone mentioned a thin adhesive backed velvet that I'm going to try out and I'm going to try sticking first and then cutting!

[@theresalaboda3569]

Thank you for the tutorial. However, one suggestion. I really wanted to see how you cut into those odd spaces and you sped up the video so much you really couldn’t see it. It would be nice to see it up close without speeding up the video.
