Add a touch of timeless charm to your holiday decor with this DIY cardinal cross stitch ornament kit. Perfect for beginners and seasoned stitchers alike, this quick project comes together in just a few hours and makes a meaningful handmade keepsake.
Please note this kit is optimized for 2 strands of DMC embroidery thread - a bit less than our other kits.
Cardinals are rich in symbolism, often seen as messengers of love and remembrance, making this ornament a heartfelt addition to your Christmas tree — or a thoughtful handmade gift.
Each kit is stitched on a small laser cut birch wood disc, custom made right here in Canada. Once you’ve finished stitching, simply peel and stick the provided felt over the back for a polished finish, add the included baker’s twine, and it’s ready to hang—no glue, no fuss.

-
Full-colour pattern

Step-by-step cross stitch instructions (plus a link to my online video tutorial)

Ample DMC thread
