How to stitch a Halloween design
We're going to keep it simple in this blog post. There's only one thing you need to do to make any Halloween project—crafts, cross stitch, needlepoint, embroidery, quilt, knitting, crochet, weaving—the best it can be:
Use glow-in-the dark thread
It really is that simple. That's the secret to making a memorable, unique, fun and fabulous design that everyone will love. Watch the video above as we share some ideas for using glow-in-the-dark thread (and even some metallics for added effects), featuring this Pepperberry Designs needlepoint canvas. You can use these ideas anywhere, whether you're cross stitching, needlepointing, anything.
Stitching for events like Christmas, winter decor, wedding gifts, Mother's Day mementos, and such call for classic elements, but Halloween...Halloween is the holiday for letting your hair down, kicking up your heels, popping some punch and having a blast with your needlework materials and designs.
Specialty threads are all about special effects. Use metallics to add shimmer and "movement." Use glow-in-the-dark threads to add light and hidden messages/elements. Use real metal threads to add shine and dimension. You get the idea...have fun!
