I am sharing how to make a cross stitch garland that you can hang up and decorate your home.

I stitched one for Christmas but you can use different mini patterns to adapt this to your needs.

You will need:

• Stitched mini squares of fabric (aida or evenweave)
• Scissors
• Ribbon or pom pom trim (appox. 180cm long)
• Glue gun or fabric glue

Step 1:

Fold the top section and allow from 3 to 5 cm space from backstitch. You will need a space at the top as this is where the ribbon or pom pom will go.

Step 2:

Fold the right side, close to backstitch.

Step 3:

Trim the back excess fabric that just appeared

Step 4:

Fold the other side (left) and trim back excess fabric.

Step 5:

You should now have a triangle shape flag

Step 6:

Use fabric glue or hot glue to glue all edges and excess fabric at the back of your stitched flag.

Step 7:

Place all stitched flags next to each other, leave a gap of 10 cm in between them. Once, they are lined up, use a glue gun to attach them.

You could also pin them in place before you start gluing.
