Christmas cracker ornaments

In addition to the Melissa Shirley candy canes I also want to share one of Melissa Shirley’s Christmas cracker ornaments. This one was great fun to stitch, the picture doesn’t show all the textures. Threads used include Gloriana silk ribbon, Fyre Werks soft sheen, DMC floss, #4 Kreinik braid, Frosty Rays, Very Velvet, Silk Lame braid and the best bling of all ~ heat sensitive swavorski crystals. There are many crackers to choose from and are perfect for using up your stash or just going crazy trying new threads.
