Flosstube Extra: No Sew Styrofoam Block Cross Stitch Finishing Tutorial

[@juststitchinginc9777]

A customer asked our previous finisher to put Easter Bird on one side and Spring Bird on the other side, so that all she had to do was turn the cube around. It saved her money and storage space! Thanks to your tutorial, I would not be afraid to try this myself:-) Shelly

[@helend.flosstube]

A double sided cube is a great idea!

[@jforster95]

Can't tell you how helpful your videos are!! Thank you

[@daisysew1417]

Have never done finishing but after this video will have a go. Many thanks.

[@stitchinginthelandofgooden6413]

I love these easy tutorials. You always make me feel like I can actually do the crafty things :)

[@mariadusablonpacheco9725]

Thanks for the tutorial. Good idea putting the pins underneath!!😊

[@Nomechick]

someone who stitched the country cottage needlework Christmas village said on her flosstube that she wanted to FFO as standing blocks. And one of her viewers mentioned you and your tutorial as a go-by. I love that idea and I love how the cross stitch community is so helpful to all. Thanks for your tutorials--esp this one. Now I have more incentive to stitch a Christmas village.

[@helend.flosstube]

The Christmas village would be so cute as blocks! :)

Hi from South Africa Helen! I loved this tutorial. Because I don't have a sewing machine and saw my small cushions by hand, this is a wonderful new way for me to display my smalls. Thanks so much for this, look forward to seeing any other ideas you can share.

What a great idea using the fabric strip to cover the pins! I’ve seen it done with ribbon, but I like your idea much better! Thanks for the tutorial!💕

[@jeantruckey1502]

Thanks for sharing your process. I have finished a couple projects with cubes from Dollar Tree and ribbon around sides. I like your idea of using the fabric. I also prefer the simpler finish. Your tutorials never disappoint! Happy finishing!

[@cindygaudet1390]

Thanks! Great idea for a different finish!

[@dorissanders1950]

Cute finish! Thanks.

[@cathymadrid6044]

You are awesome. Thank you for this tutorial. I love it

[@debbiebailey6335]

Love it! I have not seen this kind of finish before. Thank you so much. One good thing about the pandemic is I discovered floss tube . You are one of my favs!

[@SammiJarrad]

I really like this finish! A few washers on the bottom under the last fabric strip would help weight it a bit. The hot knifes can break pretty easily. If you do invest in one, careful, but they’re worth it. Thank you for sharing this.😁💜👍🏻

[@helend.flosstube]

Thanks for the tip about the hot knife. They had one at Walmart when I bought the foam, but it looked cheap so I didn't get it.

[@kimmikemoissinac5175]

I love this. It’s so simple and looks so nice. You make the best tutorials. Thank you.

[@emjaymckarney7972]

I've done some of these using the floral oasis and wrapped it in a neutral fabric first. I put a monthly design on each side with a seasonal ribbon around the middle and set it in the middle of my coffee table. The styrofoam looks a lot sturdier. The fabric strip works better around the middle too because you can only pull the ribbon tightly and pin it on the bottom.

[@helend.flosstube]

That was smart to put the extra fabric around the floral foam first. That stuff is even messier than styrofoam!

[@lorinicholas9139]

Thanks! Great ideas and clear presentation. :)

[@staciecats7801]

Thank you for sharing! I have never seen this finish previously. This would be easy and the result is really nice.

[@jeannekenna8200]

Great video! Can’t wait to try this!!!

[@angeliablalock8851]

Love this finish, thank you so much for sharing! God bless😊

[@judiswank82]

Oh My Gosh . . you are amazing . . how do you come up with these fantastic, yet doable ideas. Thank You so Much !

[@helend.flosstube]

I can't take credit for coming up with this idea! I don't remember where I first saw it, but I've made several over the years. Very quick and easy!

[@StitchinBookworm]

Love this, thank you so much!

[@barbyerke7840]

GREAT tutorial. Can't wait to make some Halloween finishes.

[@helend.flosstube]

I did a cube for Halloween last year and put a little witch hat on the top with pins. It was sold in the store as a headband and I cut it off. It's one of my favorite finishes.

[@barbyerke7840]

@@helend.flosstube OH MY GOODNESS!!! GREAT idea. I am 65 yrs old. I started cross stitching 35 years ago, then quit stitching for 28 years. I still have dozens of finishes in a drawer, one being the Monopoly board. I came back to stitching 3 years ago. It is so fun seeing how all you young people finish your projects. Starting to actually finish some of my antiques.

[@gloriafagan712]

Hi Helen, I've been just waiting for a tutorial like this and, yet again, you deliver. Thank you so much ♥️♥️♥️

Brilliant, thank you

[@alfredpratt9373]

Thank you

[@holly9281]

Great tutorial, thanks so much. A drop cloth on the table to collect the little bits... the floral green foam can crumble badly over time. Now if I could get someone in my house to cut foam for me!

[@christinaderrico5159]

Oh my gosh,thank you! I love it!❤️❤️❤️

[@AllisonNorris13]

Great! Thank you!

[@robinb6281]

Thanks for the tutorial. Very informative. You could also put a bow on the top. I have tried that. Note I said tried. I still need practice. 😂

[@carolinagirl2141]

Cute! Thank you!

[@jacquelineleibfried4691]

Thanks

[@saladgoddess]

Another lovely tutorial! I picked up an electric carving knife at a thrift store for cutting upholstery foam, but it might work for styrofoam, too. That being said, I've just fallen down the rabbit hole of DIY hot wire foam cutters on KZbin....

[@helend.flosstube]

I'm going to keep my eyes open at Goodwill! Let me know if you find a good hot wire cutter!

[@greekxstitcher5379]

This is great!, thank you
