20 Best Friends Forever Gifts To Make

May 9, 2020 by Shellie Wilson

A best friends necklace is a special kind of gift. It’s a way to show your best friend how much you care about them and how much you appreciate their friendship. It’s a gift that can be given for any occasion, whether it’s a birthday, Christmas, or just because.

When you give your best friend a best friends necklace, it’s a way of telling them that you’ll always be there for them. That you’ll always be their friend, no matter what. It’s a way of showing them how much you care about them and how much you appreciate their friendship.

Your best friend is someone who you can always count on, no matter what. They’re the one you can always turn to when you need a shoulder to cry on or someone to just sit and chat with. They’re the one who knows you better than anyone else and who always has your back.

So, when you give them a best friend’s necklace, you’re giving them a little piece of your heart. You’re telling them that you’ll always be there for them, no matter what. That you appreciate their friendship more than they could ever know.

This roundup is all about best friends and best friends forever, or BFF. All of these tutorials show you how to make a handmade best friend gift. Perfect for gifting at the end of the school year or maybe just to show a little love and kindess to a dear friend. Most of these tutorials are based on splitting the two items bettween the friends. The tutorials are all easy to follow and some are more suited to older teens than younger ones.

Mini Pumpkins and Jack o’Lanterns to Cross Stitch

I just can’t resist sharing a few more Halloween cross stitch patterns when they are as cute and quick to stitch as these!

This boo cross stitch from Luzatolye was the first little Halloween cross stitch pattern to catch my eye. I love the pumpkin Os! At just 23 by 8 stitches and using four colors, you can stitch it up in no time. On 14 count fabric it measures 1.6 by.5 inches, or about 4 by 1.27 cm. 

Another cutie from the same designer is this jack o’lantern with a witch hat. Another four-color project, this one is 14 by 18 stitches, which is an inch by just a little more than an inch, or around 3 cm square, worked on 14 count fabric. 

If you like your minis a little bit bigger, this jack o’lantern with leaves is from White Protea Art and measures 47 by 28 stitches. That comes out to 3.4 by 2 inches, or 8.5 by 5.1 cm, when stitches on 14 count fabric. It uses nine colors. 

Or there’s also this little cutie from that same designer. I love the little leaf on top of the pumpkin. At 33 by 36 stitches, it comes out to 2.4 by 2.6 inches, or 6 by 6.5 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric. I think it uses around eight colors. 

Template Love Create also has two mini jack o’lantern cross stitch patterns that I like (I swear I didn’t plan to do two from each of the same designers, it’s just the whimsy of an Etsy search!). There’s one that is more round and one that’s oblong, which I like because it’s different from most of the pumpkin patterns you see. The pattern listings say both are six colors (though they look like four to me) and 28 by 28 stitches, but I don’t think that can be true. Either way they both fit in a 3 inch hoop and would be a super cute little addition to your Halloween decor.
