SSD-C51 Traditional Holiday Toys
5/8 - 1 7/8” w by 13/8 -2 1/4” h each - 9 - 26 stitches w by 20 - 31 stitches h

These are three Christmas cross-stitch designs (“Traditional Tin Soldier”, “Traditional Train”, and “Traditional Sled”)
depict three toys what were at the top of the list years ago, and that still remind us of the Holidays today.
The tin soldier is embellished with shiny gold accents.
The train is spewing smoke that we can remember from those smoke pellets for trains.
The sled has a glistening rope, accented with beads where it is attached and red accents for decoration.

The images are on pre-finished ovals ready to be finished to be decorative on both sides
(with detailed finishing instructions provided) and hung as decorations
after a ribbon is laced through the lace edge of the medallions.
These will provide unique accents to the holiday motifs.
