The Simply Make Embroidery by Numbers Christmas Crackers Kit brings the same satisfying stitch-by-numbers format to a festive cracker design. The fabric comes pre-printed with a colour-coded guide showing exactly where each thread colour goes — no pattern counting, no transfers, no prior experience needed. Follow the numbers, fill in the areas, and build up the finished piece stitch by stitch.
Christmas crackers make a cheerful and slightly unexpected embroidery subject — the bold, graphic shape and bright colours translate well into stitch, and the finished piece works as a framed decoration, a hoop display, or a handmade seasonal card insert. An excellent small project for the weeks running up to Christmas, and a very well-priced stocking filler for any crafter on your list.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does embroidery by numbers mean?
The fabric comes pre-printed with the design and colour-coded areas showing which thread to use where. You stitch over the printed guide — no counting or pattern reading required. It makes embroidery genuinely accessible for complete beginners.
What is included in the kit?
The kit includes the pre-printed fabric, embroidery threads in the colours required to complete the design, a needle, and instructions. A small pair of scissors is the only additional item you will need.
Do I need a hoop?
A hoop is not included but is recommended — it holds the fabric taut while you stitch and produces neater, more even results. A small 15cm or 20cm hoop suits a kit this size well.
How long does it take?
Most people complete a kit like this in one to three evenings. It is a good project to pick up and put down between other things.
Is it suitable as a gift?
Yes — at £4.99 it makes an excellent stocking filler or small Christmas gift for anyone who enjoys craft or wants to try embroidery for the first time.
