StitchCard Christmas String Art Kit

Shop-bought Christmas cards all say the same thing and get recycled in January. A handmade one gets kept on a shelf, which is a strange amount of weight for a piece of card to carry.

The StitchCard Christmas String Art Kit makes that card. Pre-punched card bases, coloured embroidery thread, decorative beads and blank envelopes — you stitch the thread along the marked holes and a raised Christmas tree, wreath or candle appears.

The holes are already there and the pattern is marked, so nobody needs to be able to sew. Three design sets to choose from.

Why You'll Love It

🪡 No Sewing Skill Needed
The holes are punched and numbered. You pull thread through in the marked order and the picture builds itself. Nobody has to be good at crafts.

🎄 It Stands Up Rather Than Being Posted
The stitching sits proud of the card, so these get stood on a mantelpiece or a shelf. Half of them never go in an envelope at all.

👨‍👩‍👧 An Evening, Not An Afternoon
A card takes a sitting with a cup of tea. It is the sort of thing a family does at a table together in the first week of December.

🧘 Quietly Absorbing
Repetitive, slow, and the result appears gradually. People buy a second set for themselves after making the first lot as gifts.

✉️ Envelopes Are In The Box
Blank envelopes come with it, so the card is finished the moment the last stitch goes in.

✍️ Blank Inside
The inside is plain, so the message is yours rather than a printed verse nobody reads.

🎁 Two Presents In One Box
Give the kit to someone who likes making things, or make the cards and give those. Both work.

👧 A Good School-Holiday Job
No glue, no paint, no mess. The one thing to watch is the needle, so younger children want an adult nearby.

🎨 Three Sets, Different Motifs
Trees, wreaths, candles and baubles across the sets. Buying two gives you enough variety for a whole card list.

📦 Everything Is In There
Thread, beads, card, envelopes. Nothing to source separately once you have opened it.

Making One

Work on a flat surface with the card face up, and pull each stitch snug rather than tight — too much tension dimples the card.

Start with the outline and fill the shape afterwards. Tape the thread ends to the back; the beads go on last.
