Hi all, was thinking of making something different with cross-stitch. Imagine:
A circular piece, 14 by 14 stitches and about 1,5 inches in diameter. When it's done I will clip it so there will be 3 extra rows of 14 count aida on each side. I would bend these back and fasten them with double-sidid tape, then put some vliselin on the back.
Think it would work?

I assume you are making a pendant? I'd mount it on to some sort of stiffener, like a piece of plastic canvas and stitch the backing on. I'll even mail an envelope sized piece if you need it...
CWell, I finished it. Here is the link

I ended up folding the fabric and fastening it with double-sided tape, then ironed vlieselin on the back. It turned out stiff enough. It doesn't look perfect but it's a good first try

Want me to drop some pin backs in the mail?
It is very cute

Thanks for the offer, but we have them at the store (I work at a hobby shop). I'm thinking of doing others, with themes. If you want one, just give me 3 dmc colors that you like...

How about a ladybug - or at least those colors....
And have you thought about attaching a bail to make a pendant?

I got two more orders today from collegues, both broaches. Although sturdy, they are still too light for pendants. Good idea tho, about the ladybugs
