Feliz navidad

Kate L’Amie’s merry trio of cacti have got us thinking outside the box with our decorating this year. Her playful use of colour and texture, breathes new life into the festive season. We love the way she’s layered Bondaweb (a sticky-backed fabric) with simple stitches to build up each cactus. Plus, her 3D tree decoration­s made from bright beads and glitzy metallic thread are a great way to add quick detail to each hoop. Tempted to have a go yourself? You’ll be happy to know they’re available to buy as complete kits via Kate’s Etsy.
