All stitchers, including beginners, can create heartfelt gifts to give loved ones to celebrate special occasions, show gratitude, or simply make their day. Consider these five practical gifts you can make with needlepoint.
Pillows
Decorative hand-stitched pillows are a beautiful way to enhance decor, express personality, and share interests. Any canvas can be finished into a pillow, so have fun selecting the design for your loved one. Consider a sweet design for a baby’s nursery, a sassy saying for your bestie, or beautiful flowers for your mom, and have fun with your stitches and threads!
Eyeglass Cases
Eyeglass cases come in various sizes and styles—the sky's the limit for creative design. They are a fun, easy way to show your personality while protecting glasses or sunglasses. Pick a playful or sophisticated pattern that best suits your gift recipient and consider customizing with their favorite colors or adding an initial. This practical gift is sure to be loved!
Personalized Patches
Who doesn’t love a tote to carry all your needlepoint projects, beach things, books, etc.? Consider personalizing a bag with a hand-stitched needlepoint patch and select a smaller canvas (
inserts or ornaments) specifically for the recipient. You can either sew a completed canvas design onto your bag of choice by following a tutorial or have professional finishers complete the final step for you. You can also add needlepoint patches to a clutch, a summer straw handbag, hats, etc.
Belts
Handmade and finely-crafted needlepoint belts are a wonderful, thoughtful gift for a loved one. The possibilities of
needlepoint belt designs and styles are endless, with various pre-made kits or canvases available to easily complete the creative project.
Ornaments
An ornament is the gift that keeps on giving! Wether you are commemorating a trip you spent with a loved one, or creating a first Christmas piece for a new family member, needlepoint ornaments are a great choice. Shop hundreds of different canvases or take the guesswork out by purchasing one of our hand crafted kits to make this present really POP!
