For this fast and simple project we used the designs from the One-Color Vintage Santa Set.
The designs are available in 3 sizes: large (5" x 7"), mega (6" x 10") and commercial (8" x 12") hoops. You can choose any size depending on the size of the boxes.

You will need:
- embroidery threads, either polyester or rayon, the choice of colors is yours,
- white gift boxes,
- light-colored cotton fabric,
- light-weight embroidery stabilizer, preferably iron-on,
- permanent fabric adhesive or white glue,
- decorative scotch tape,
- iron,
- quilter's ruler and rotary cutter, or scissors and pencil,
- additional embellishments, such as small beads or rhinestones, are great, but not necessary.

Embroidery
|
Hoop the fabric with light-weight stabilizer. Tighten the hoop securely.
Upload the file of your choice into the machine.
Embroider the file.

|
Decorating the Gift Box
|
Measure the lid of the box and trim the stitch-out accordingly: the stitch-out should be at least 1" smaller than the lid.
|
|
Cover the back of the stitch-out with a thin coat of adhesive and position it on the lid. Press. Leave to dry.
|
|
Spread decorative scotch tape along the borders/margins of the embroidery, overlapping them about 1/4".
|
|
You are done! Don't forget to put a gift in your beautiful box!
