Teddy Bear Travelers Cross Stitch Ornament Kit (Set of 2) by VDV M-0322

Two oval ornaments of dressed-up teddy bears: a boy bear in a straw hat, blue jacket, and bow tie carrying a suitcase, and a girl bear in a flowered bonnet, blue coat, and polka-dot dress with a pink handbag, each edged with white cord and a hanging loop.

Why this kit: storybook characters stitched on linen-colored Aida for a vintage look; a matching pair that hangs together on a tree, door, or branch; filling and cord are included, so each piece finishes as a ready-to-hang ornament.

Kit includes: 100% cotton 16 count Aida in natural linen color, 100% cotton DMC floss in 26 colors, a Pony needle, hollowfiber filling, cord for finishing, a black-and-white printed chart with the backstitch shown in color, and a digital copy of the pattern. Each piece measures about 10x13.5 cm (3.94x5.31 in). Made in Ukraine.

Each design is worked in counted cross stitch, following the chart and matching every symbol to its DMC floss color, with the colored backstitch outlines added at the end. The finished pieces are backed, lightly stuffed with the hollowfiber filling, and edged with the cord to hang.

A sweet project for stitchers of most levels and a lovely gift for teddy bear collectors.
