Cross Stitch Pattern

Create your own Day of the Dead Ornaments using the free charts in this collection. Decorate them with floss or with beads and sequins as I did. The free Candlewicking Ornament pattern was inspired by antique glass ornaments. Use a single color to stitch the design as shown here, or choose multi-color floss for a more vibrant motif. I love the old-style glass ornaments. My mom has some that have been around for so long that I am afraid to touch them for fear they will break.
