Even if you’ve never tried embroidery, you’ve probably seen embroidery floss. It’s those little skeins of thread that come in hundreds of colours. Maybe your mom or your grandma had a box with it wrapped onto little cards or maybe you used to make knotted bracelets with it.
This little project is inspired by old glass Christmas tree ornaments. They are quick and easy to do, so it’s a great project for learning a new technique.
