Every year I throw an annual mother-daughter holiday get-together. Close friends and family gather to dish and craft until the wee hours of the morning, making whatever holiday craft we’ve chosen for that year. Having recently learned to sew, my youngest daughter insisted that this year’s project give her a chance to show off her chops. Luckily, we just so happen to have a craft that fits the bill perfectly. Bucilla Handmade Charlotte Stitchables make a super fun craft party activity and they’re simple enough for seamstresses of all sizes to get their sew on.

You can purchase the invidual kits from many local retailers. Each pack includes a laser-cut wood shape, a needle and thread, and an instructional chart to guide you step by step through each project. From a tiny cottage with a garden view to a technicolor hedgehog, the wooden charms come in a variety shapes and with thread in a wide range of colors so kids can really let their personalities shine through. To make things easy, the hedgehog, cottage, and tree designs are all available as packs of 12 (of each design) from our friends at S&S Worldwide.

Once completed, the stitchables make perfect stocking stuffers, great last-minute gift ideas, and fun “little something extras” attached to the outside of presents. Decorate cards, journals, gift tags, ornaments… anything you can think of to personalize with a stitch!
