Day 4 and it's time for my first set of Mill Hill beaded ornaments.
I love stitching these little ornaments. It's a tradition now for mum to give me a new kit for Christmas and for me to stitch it between Christmas and New Year while watching cricket on TV.
The perforated paper can be a challenge at first, but once you get used to it, it's fine. Just don't pull the thread too tightly and rip the paper!
I glue felt on the back to finish the ornaments nicely, and I like to make beaded strings to hand them from because there's always lots of beads left over.
