Double-sided Snow Maiden (Christmas tree toy)

Last time embroidery has become one of the favorite ways to spend time among ladies, even young girls. A great way to take your mind off the hustle and bustle of everyday life is to create cute little things from threads on fabric. A good alternative to fabric when making embroidered Christmas tree decorations is plastic canvas. It is transparent, almost invisible, and working with it has a number of advantages:
  • no hoop needed;
  • does not bend;
  • edges remain neat;
  • not afraid of moisture;
  • the thread lies evenly;
  • Suitable for teaching little needlewomen.

We suggest embroidering the Snow Maiden on this basis to decorate your home or Christmas tree. The toy will be double-sided, so you can use it to decorate a car window in a New Year’s style or hang it from a chandelier.

You will need:
  • plastic canvas - 20 by 30 squares, plus a little for reserve;
  • floss threads - 1-2 skeins of each color;
  • needle with a wide eye.

The toy will consist of a front side and a back side. Here are two embroidery patterns.
Symbols on the diagram:
C – blue; G – blue; G – green; O – orange; K – red; P – pink; H – black (for the eyes, I took dark blue); St – light (for eyes – white, for example). You will also need white for stitching the parts.

Take a thread of floss (6 thin threads) and thread it through the needle in 2 layers so that a loop is formed at the end.

This way we will secure the beginning of each thread. However, the toy is double-sided, and the reverse side will not be visible, so you don’t have to try to decorate it too carefully.

Fasten the thread and sew the first row with diagonal stitches from the bottom left corner to the top right.

When moving back, place the thread from the upper right corner to the lower left. All top crosses must have the same direction.

Try not to deviate from the scheme. If you mix up several crosses inside the figure, nothing bad will happen, but the outer edge is of great importance: when sewing the parts together, they should overlap each other perfectly.

Secure the thread on the wrong side by passing it through the others.

Embroider the front side according to the pattern. At the end of the work, cut out the part, observing the condition: there should be one plastic cage near each stitch (for which you will sew the part to the part).

Embroider the wrong side of the toy without deviating from the pattern. From the bottom row of orange crosses, “braid” the charming girl two braids from threads of the same color, tie white bows.

    Thanks for the secret to finishing the edges of plastic canvas. The Snow Maiden’s braids were simply touching) We will definitely do it in our child according to the proposed scheme!
