Beach Gnome Cross Stitch Pattern

August 1, 2024 by Sarah White

I don’t know if it’s possible to get enough gnomes in any crafting genre. We love gnomes in knitting and crochet, too, and gnomes are also fun to cross stitch. They’re an easy starting point for just about any holiday themed project, from Christmas to St. Patrick’s Day and beyond.

Or, in this case, summer.

The beach gnome cross stitch pattern from Craft with Cartwright answers the question of what gnomes do on vacation. They go to the beach and rest on the sand under an umbrella, just like I wish I was doing right now. 

The pattern is available for free when you sign up for updates, which gives you access to a ton of free patterns for cross stitch.

In addition to this gnome cross stitch pattern, Ruth has a whole library of free gnome cross stitch patterns, including gnomes for each month and designs for Christmas, Halloween, Easter and St. Patrick’s Day. Because she’s British you’ll also find a St. David’s Day gnome and a Burns Night gnome, among other fun projects. You can really stitch up a gnome or several for any occasion!

If you need even more gnome cross stitch patterns to choose from, I’ve got you covered. I love this little collection of Christmas gnomes, and there’s a gnome pattern in this roundup of Fourth of July cross stitch patterns. I also have a whole collection of fall themed gnome cross-stitch patterns, and a fun set of little gnomes dressed up in their Halloween costumes, if you’re already thinking ahead to the next season. It will be here before we know it, after all!

Whether you stitch up a single gnome project or a full set, make them for wall hangings, greeting cards or other projects, gnomes are lots of fun to stitch and I hope you’ll have a good time with this one!

How To Sew a Banner from felted wool sweaters

If you’re looking for a creative and sustainable craft project, look no further than the Upcycled Wool Felt Banner tutorial from Cucicucicoo. This DIY project is perfect for those who love working with fabric and want to give old sweaters a new life. It’s an easy way to make beautiful, eco-friendly decor while also recycling materials that would otherwise go to waste.

What I love most about this project is how customizable it is. Whether you’re using wool sweaters in soft neutrals or bold, vibrant colors, you can create a banner that perfectly suits your home decor or seasonal celebrations. The tutorial guides you step-by-step through turning old wool sweaters into felt, which is then used to make the banner pieces. It’s the ultimate upcycled project, giving you a chance to breathe new life into things you may have otherwise thrown out.

The process is easy to follow, and it doesn’t require a ton of supplies – just a few sweaters, scissors, a needle, and thread. Plus, this project doesn’t just make for beautiful home decor; it’s a wonderful activity for kids, especially when working with felt pieces.

This Upcycled Wool Felt Banner would be great for various occasions, such as fall, winter, or even holiday decor. You can hang it on the wall, drape it across your mantel, or add it to a wreath or as part of a festive display. It’s such a charming and thoughtful addition to any space.

I can’t recommend this tutorial enough for anyone looking to upcycle and make something beautiful out of old sweaters. It’s simple, creative, and so much fun to make!
