Cross stitch trend: Xmas will be all glitter and shine
Add sparkle and fun to Christmas and holiday projects with metallic embroidery floss and beads
Here’s a selection of patterns where designers used specialty threads – as well as a few beads - to enhance their stitching and make it really festive.
Tam's Creations offers a beautiful series of biscornus (one is pictured here) all embellished with precious gold and sparkling colors. See the beautiful range of colors selected by the designer. This biscornu also features little tassels that you can make with the some of the thread that's leftover. Tam's Creations Xmas biscornu pattern series
.jpg) The largest range of metallics available to stitchers is the DMC range, which covers many hues of gold and silver as well as luminous bright colors with a dozen jewel-like effects (ruby reds, emerald greens, topaz and aquamarine....).
Our designers picked these metallics because of the extensive color range but also because they are easy to find. You can of course always substitute your own favorite metallics in a similar color.

 It's all about detail: discover 3 beautiful ornaments brought to you by Faby Reilly, one of our brand new designers. Using DMC embroidery floss and Mill Hills beads, she makes the most remarkable and refined stitched projects such as the pointsettia berlingot featured here.
A glittering holiday ornament, a cat with emerald green eyes, a teddy bear with a silver lined hat, shimmering stars, a gleaming tree... all the patterns listed below are enhanced with metallic threads.     
Don't hesitate to try metallic embroidery floss. It's easy to use provided you follow some simple rules. If you have never tried stitching with this thread, or if you ever had a bad experience, these stitching hints are a must read!
