This ugly sweater “snowman on fire” ornament is for people who like their holiday décor with a side of chaos. Sure, snowmen are supposed to be jolly and frosty — but this one’s having a bit of a meltdown. Literally. And the best part? You get to stitch the whole ridiculous scene yourself.
This DIY cross stitch kit is quick and fun to make, coming together in just a few hours. Made from laser cut wood, it’s perfect for beginners and seasoned stitchers alike. Designed in retro holiday style with a dash of dark humour, it’s the ideal ornament for anyone who’s ever rolled their eyes at perfect, picture-postcard Christmas trees.
Each kit includes everything you need to complete your gloriously inappropriate Christmas embroidery kit:
- Colour pattern
- Step-by-step instructions on how to cross stitch (plus a link to my online video tutorial)
- Ample DMC thread
- One John James needle
- Laser cut wood ornament disc
- Custom cut adhesive peel-and-stick felt backing (Peel and stick — no glue required!)
- Baker’s twine for hanging
Each ugly sweater design takes about one or two holiday movies to complete, depending on your skill level — though in this case, we recommend something with fire safety tips.
Stitched on small laser cut birch wood discs, custom made right here in Canada, this holiday craft kit is perfect for hanging on your own tree, gifting to your most sarcastic friend, or shocking your in-laws.
Each finished ugly sweater is about 3 inches wide, 3 inches tall, and 3 millimetres thick (about three dimes stacked).
Please note: This is a cross stitch kit, not a finished ornament — you provide the stitches, we provide the flames.
