Wonderland Crafts Wooden Cross Stitch Kit FLW-047 – Christmas Cottage on Plywood with Stand

Wonderland Crafts FLW-047 Christmas Cottage is a counted cross stitch and beadwork kit on laser-cut plywood. Instead of fabric, you stitch into rigid wooden shapes with the holes already drilled — the pieces are the finished object, so there is no hoop, no stretching, no framing and no finishing work at the end. The scene is a cottage under fresh snow: a pale blue roof, a red brick chimney, lanterns and a holly garland over the arched door, with two decorated fir trees at the corners. Beads stand in for the baubles on the trees and the berries in the garland. The stitched pieces slot into an oval wooden base engraved with snowflakes, so the cottage stands as a three-dimensional winter scene rather than a flat ornament.

Working on Plywood

Each stitch goes through a pre-drilled hole, so the spacing is fixed and the stitches sit evenly — plywood is a forgiving base even if you have never stitched on anything but fabric. This one is worked at 14 count, the same density most stitchers are used to on Aida, so it is comfortable on the eyes and easy to read from the chart. The design is single-sided, so the reverse stays open while you work and your thread carries are visible from behind. The kit includes felt or foam for the back: once the stitching is finished, cut it to shape and glue it on for a clean reverse, then assemble the pieces onto the base.

Unlike fabric work, the finished piece must stay dry. Do not wash, soak or steam it — plywood warps and the surface tint can stain. Dust with a soft dry brush and keep it away from damp spots such as bathrooms and window sills.

A Christmas piece that ends up on the mantel or the hall table instead of in the drawer — finished, standing, and out where people see it. A good introduction to wooden cross stitch for anyone who already stitches on Aida, and a handmade gift that gets brought out again every December.
