Christmas crafts to make at home
Embroidering or knitting your own decorations is one of the loveliest ways to get ready for Christmas. Here we’ve gathered all our Christmas crafts: cross-stitch kits, patterns, crochet amigurumi, tree ornaments and table runners, featuring traditional motifs such as trees, reindeer, stars and snowflakes, as well as more modern designs.
Christmas cross-stitch kits
Christmas cross-stitch kits come with everything you need to get started: fabric, threads sorted by color, a needle and a pattern. If you’d rather choose your own fabric and threads, you’ll find printed designs to embroider your way in Christmas cross-stitch patterns. There are options for beginners and for those who are already confident embroidering.
Tree ornaments and amigurumi
If you’re looking for something quick, the Christmas ornament kits can be finished in an evening or two and are perfect for making with the family. With the Christmas amigurumi kits, you can crochet your own Christmas characters by following the pattern step by step.
To dress the table for Christmas Eve
An embroidered table runner or centerpiece is the kind of piece you bring out every Christmas for years. These are longer projects, so it’s best to start early: the table on this page shows whether you can finish in time for Christmas Eve.
A handmade gift
An embroidery piece or amigurumi you make yourself is a gift no one else can make. And for anyone who already embroiders or sews, Christmas sewing accessories make a useful and unique gift. If you’re giving a kit, order well in advance and check the shipping cutoff date at the top of the page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How late can I place my order to receive it before Christmas?
At the top of this page, you’ll find this season’s order deadline, calculated based on our shipping times. If you’re going to embroider or knit the gift yourself, be sure to add the project time too: the “Will you finish in time for Christmas?” chart will help you work it out.
What’s the easiest Christmas craft to start with?
Tree ornament kits are small, can be finished in one or two evenings, and usually use only a few colors. For cross-stitch, look for a kit on 14-count Aida fabric; for crochet, choose a small amigurumi with a step-by-step pattern.
How long does it take to make a Christmas cross-stitch?
It depends on the size and the number of colors. If you embroider for an hour a day, a small ornament takes 1 to 3 days to finish, a design of about 10 × 10 cm takes 1 to 2 weeks, and a 20 × 20 cm design takes 3 to 6 weeks.
What does a Christmas cross-stitch kit include?
Usually, the fabric, embroidery threads separated by color, needle, and chart with instructions are included. The hoop and frame are not usually included: check each product listing for the exact contents.
What do I need to know to make a Christmas amigurumi?
You only need to master four things: the magic ring, single crochet, increases, and decreases. The kits include the step-by-step pattern and almost all the materials; check the product details to see if they include the crochet hook.
How do I turn an embroidery piece into a Christmas tree ornament?
Trim the embroidery, leaving a small margin, glue it onto a circle of cardboard or felt, cover the back with another piece of felt, and sew or glue on a ribbon for hanging. You can also leave it in a small hoop and hang it from the screw.
