Little Out Of Season But.... *Final 4!*

[YoungStitcher]

I found my Christmas tree decorations!
I'm working on stitching the few other 'Christmasy' ones too.
Not sure what I'll do with them, but I like a little change now and then.
I've discovered a really good way of 'preserving' them. I cover them in PVA glue. It drys completely clear, stops the fabric and thread from fraying and stiffens the piece which is handy for the coin holders.

so cute - love the reindeer and the solider w/ tree
what is PVA glue?

[LadyS]

Adorable!

They are cute and what a great idea to use the glue on them. You could also do those on plastic canvas.

Evedeve - PVA glue is a craft glue which can be used on fabric.

Those are very sweet.....but you forgot to do any snowmen ....hehehehehe

Those are really cute and happy!

I think Christmas stuff is okay year round.

They are so cute. I love Christmas in May. Much better than rushing around in November.

These look really great and the PVA glue was an inspiration! I also love your photos with the purple background, it really shows off the stitched pieces. I shouldn't worry about out of season either. I completed a mag commission 4 weeks ago that is for Christmas tree decorations, so I was designing snow scenes while the trees were in full blossom outside and the daffodils in flower

Very nice designs . but you'd better do a snowman to keep Rose happy.

Thanks ladies
Lol I still have a few more to do and snowmen are WIPs
The purple is a towel I had in my room.... I'm so messy.... Better on the towel than a white laptop to see them.

I should have the other.... Say 3 or 4 five over the weekend
I think the PVA makes the colours stand out more too. Great for any small pieces to stop the fabric coming apart at the ends.
