This is a listing of crafts and embroidery styles that use standard 6-strand embroidery floss. The list was assembled for the purposes of encouraging the PixelStitch community (most of which primarily do cross stitch) to explore different types of textile crafts and work from stash when possible.
Each craft idea will include links to resources, patterns, and tutorials to get you started.
Want me to explain the challenge to you in a 15 minute video? I have you covered. Otherwise, read on!
⚠️Disclaimer: I am not an expert in any of these crafts. I haven’t even tried most of them. I’m learning right along with you! If you see a mistake or have found additional resources, let me know and I’ll update it as soon as I can! Discord/Instagram @Sirithre
Need more tutorials/patterns? Check your local library either in person or via Libby to find books and magazines on some of these topics! You’d be surprised what you can find while also supporting your local library!
