New Year is a holiday filled with surprises and pleasant gifts. Needleworkers who like to embroider choose appropriate motives for their work. After all, surrounding yourself with festive paraphernalia, you plunge into a kind of fairy tale. New Year's cross-stitch can be very diverse and have many options. In the article we will consider in detail the options for embroidery on this subject and give examples of miniature patterns.
Santa Claus
The main character of the holiday is Santa Claus or Santa Claus. It is this old man that the children look forward to. Therefore, if your New Year cross-stitch is with the image of Santa, then this is a win-win option. Below is an example of a circuit on this topic.
Santa in a rocking chair or Santa in full growth, as well as a very unexpected option - with the elves. Such miniature works can be used as a decoration at home before the holiday. Or come up with a more unusual application, for example, embroider on a New Year’s boot. After all, children are eagerly awaiting gifts from this gray-bearded old man, so embroidery with his image will be just in time. You can also bring to embroidery the children themselves, who with great pleasure will do needlework before the holiday.
Gnomes
If you decide that the main preparation for the holiday will be cross-stitch, New Year's miniatures with the image of gnomes will pleasantly surprise you. You can choose from a large number of options the one that you think is the best. We decided to simplify your task a bit and prepared several options for the schemes of holiday gnomes.
These cute creatures, along with the elves, are working before the New Year, preparing gifts for the kids. The finished picture with the image of the gnome can be placed in a baguette or under glass. If you want to fill the house with a festive atmosphere, you can embroider several paintings of gnomes and randomly place them on the wall near the festive Christmas tree. New Year's cross-stitch is good because the patterns can be used to decorate the interior. You can embroider according to the pattern on a tablecloth or napkins - this will give your table a more solemn look. Dwarves are mostly depicted in large caps of red color, so you should be responsible for the choice of threads. Low-quality bright fibers can fade during washing, which can completely spoil the finished picture.
Christmas tree
The main tree of the holiday is the Christmas tree. This lush green beauty comes to visit almost every home on New Year's Eve. It can be safely called the main symbol of the holiday, because it is around the Christmas tree that people dance, decorate it with all kinds of toys, look for gifts under it. Below is one of the options for embroidering this tree.
The layout seems pretty simple, but it's a false impression. The Christmas tree in the picture is decorated with balls and lights, and the top also shines with lights. Small New Year's cross-stitch, like this one, can be a great gift to friends and relatives. One more piece of advice will be useful: yellow lights and the top of the tree can be embroidered with gold thread. This will give even greater elegance to the finished work and improve your mood. Combination of drawings is allowed, that is, in one picture you can embroider a Christmas tree, and nearby - Santa Claus. This option will be unusual and quite bold. If you want Christmas cross-stitch to be different from the original, you can add your own elements. For example, in the version with the Christmas tree, embroider small boxes with gifts, which are placed on both sides of the tree.
Snowmen
Well, what New Year can do without snow? What are we used to doing with him? Right, play snowballs and sculpt snowmen. We suggest you consider one of the options for a snowman.
This picture captivates with its simplicity and beauty. After all, our snowman is not alone in the picture, but in the company of a penguin. But cross-stitch - New Year's motifs that we are discussing - implies some difficulties. The main problem with embroidering snowmen is color. The white canvas on which you want to embroider it will be the same color. So it's worth considering how to highlight a snowman. We advise you to embroider along the contour with a gray thread, this will give a picture of clarity.
Something new
Finally, I want to talk about the unusual applications of New Year's embroidery. You can habitually put the finished picture in a frame under the glass and leave dust on the wall. And you can approach with enthusiasm and ingenuity to this issue. Try to use Christmas patterns to decorate gift bags, to decorate cards.
You can embroider a pattern on a piece of canvas, then sew it into a ball and fill it with cotton. In this way, you get a festive Christmas toy. Imagine and do not be afraid to experiment with New Year's embroidery, because this holiday in itself implies something fabulous.
