There’s something about Halloween that makes autumn feel even more magical. Cosy evenings under blankets, pumpkins, candles, and, of course, a little bit of spooky stitching!
This months Stitch Mail project creates a very cute garland with lots of Halloween motifs. It's a fun and simple way to add a handmade Halloween touch to your home. The cross stitch project makes the spookiest decoration for a mantelpiece, shelf, doorway or craft room.
A Little Bit Spooky, A Lot Cute
This garland is all about cute Halloween vibes. The playful lettering, traditional spooky colours and those little details that make handmade decorations so special.
This design will appear stitch by stitch and then you can turn it into a decoration. Alternatively you can frame the designs in hoops or frames.
The Perfect Autumn Stitch
If you enjoy stitching while watching your favourite autumn films, listening to a podcast or simply enjoying a quiet cup of tea, this is the perfect seasonal project. There’s no need to rush. Pour yourself a drink, get comfortable and enjoy a little bit of mindful stitching.
And when Halloween arrives, you’ll have a handmade decoration ready to hang up and enjoy year after year.
How Will You Display Yours?
The finished Boo Garland would look lovely hanging across a mantelpiece, above a shelf or along a wall. It would also make a gorgeous addition to a Halloween party or autumn craft display.
I especially love handmade decorations that can be brought out year after year. There’s something lovely about opening up your seasonal decorations and finding projects you stitched yourself in previous years.
A Handmade Halloween Favourite
Whether you’re an experienced cross stitcher or simply looking for a fun seasonal project, the Cross Stitch Boo Garland is a lovely way to bring a little handmade Halloween magic into your home.
And as an added bonus there is a sweet lilac bat scissor charm to decorate you favourite stitching scissors!
So grab your needle and thread, put the kettle on, and get stitching!
Happy stitching and a very happy Halloween! 👻🧡
