Quick Craft- Dinosaur Cross Stitch
Feb 19, 2012 by Violet
My wonderful friend BGDino sent me a very fun cross stitch kit in her last package… a dinosaur! It looks exactly like her mascot so I couldn’t wait to give it a go :D

| The contents included a cute little hoop for display as well :D
 
Half way through I decided that I wanted to go a slightly different direction to the pattern and give it a more pixel-art feeling with a thick black border and by following the squares rather than diagonal curves.

So funny, the instructions were very explicit in how many threads to use warning you not to run out… I ran out anyway XD Luckily I had the exact same green in my stash already!

My finished dinosaur!

I added in the stripy long stitch background and I’m thinking I should totally deco the frame with some green jewels, what do you think?

Love it! Thank you very much Dino! Such a cute little dinosaur and he’s living on my dressing table now :D

Nawww he’s so cute!
Thank you so much <3 I had so much fun with him!
Very sweet! I have three kids who’d go nuts for that!
I bet your kids would be awesome at cross stitch!
you should definitely deco it! it looks great, i’ve been wanting to learn how to cross stitch and maybe now i will.
You should, it’s actually really easy to follow the patterns and you can do it while watching movies :D
