I was rummaging through one of my shop drawers the other week and came across some Christmas mini magnets which I made last year for sale at my winter shows. (Remember those days? Where you could have bustling craft fairs full of unique vendors and happy punters?) I only had three left and when I popped them up on my web shop and Instagram, they sold out instantly! So I've been making more as luckily I still have a load of the cute mini embroidery frames in various sizes and shapes. They're all between 3cm and 5cm in diameter so cute doesn't begin to cover it.
The holly leaves are stitched in the same way each time with one straight stitch up the middle of the leaf to the top then satin stitches worked from the edge of the pattern to underneath that straight stitch on either side, keeping that original stitch on top as a central ridge.
I've stuck a little magnet onto the back of each hoop and signed it so y'all know it was made by me!
If you'd like your own little festive magnet, these are available in both my Etsy shop and my Website shop (different ones in each so have a look at both sites). There are also new ones which will be uploaded soon to both sites where I have experimented with padding underneath the stitching with a layer of felt to see if that helps the bumpiness of the fabric.
