Fancy a fun activity to get the kids revved up and ready for the festive season? These easy Christmas cross stitch patterns for wish lists are bound to go down a storm! Worked on easy-to-hold plastic canvas using whole stitches and backstitch only, this is a fab first project for young stitchers who’ll love seeing their colourful creations coming to life. Alternatively, you could stitch the easy Christmas cross stitch patterns yourself and present them to your children to clip their dream present ideas to the lengths of ribbon. And, don’t forget the stickers and metallic pens to pretty up their requests and ensure Santa’s attention! This design was originally published in Cross Stitch Crazy issue 209.
