Wonderland Crafts Wooden Cross Stitch Kit FLW-048 – Snow Globe, Cream Edition, on Plywood with Stand

Wonderland Crafts FLW-048 Snow Globe, Cream Edition is a counted cross stitch and beadwork kit on laser-cut plywood. Instead of fabric, you stitch into a rigid wooden shape with the holes already drilled — the piece is the finished object, so there is no hoop, no stretching, no framing and no finishing work at the end. The plywood is cut in the shape of a snow globe: a nutcracker in a red crowned hat and gold-braided uniform stands between two fir trees on a warm cream ground, with gold and clear beads scattered across the dome as falling snow. The stitched dome sits on an engraved wooden base, so the finished piece stands upright like a real snow globe.

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. With thirty-two shades, the nutcracker's uniform and face are worked in fine gradations, which is what gives the figure its painted, almost illustrated look rather than a flat blocked-in one. 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 set the dome into its 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. There is a companion design in the same shape, FLW-049 Snow Globe, Sky Edition, if you would rather have the scene on a cool blue ground or want the pair.
