An unexpected twist transforms this fanciful tree into a clever Advent Calendar. Stitch realistic pine boughs then spruce them up with 24 nostalgic decorations and a gleaming star on top. You’ll work with a combination of threads, beads, and decorative stitching techniques for small areas.
This kit will require a hot fix applicator tool in order to add the embellishments to your piece. We recommend the Bejeweler Pro which can be purchased through a local craft store or online supplier.

Ready, set, stitch!
Our needlepoint kits have it all—premium threads, a needle, and a step-by-step guide.
This is a beautiful and whimsical canvas with the best stitch guide I've ever received. Since this was originally designed to act as an advent calendar, I just wish the designer still had an option for the ornament baubles that turn it into an advent tree. The baubles add the extra magic and fun for the children as intended. Beautiful tree!
