Cross Stitch Scissor Fob Pattern: Plus Block Design – Assembly

• Cut a 30cm long strand from 3 of the embroidery threads used.
• Tie a knot to join the 3 strands together at the top, and plait the full length of the threads. Tie a knot at the end to secure.
• Take the front and back pieces and cut out leave a 2cm gap around the edge of the sides.
• Sew to join using 2 strands of black embroidery thread and by completing a whip stitch into each of the backstitches down one of the side edges. Insert the 2 ends of the plaited threads into the corner and continue joining the next side with the whip stitches securing the plaited strands at the same time.

• Complete whip stitches to join the 3rd side, then place in the stuffing before joining the final side closed.
• Attach to your scissors by putting the top of the thread loop into the scissor handle then threading the fob through and pulling to secure.
