Doubles as an ornament for your Christmas Tree! This little “Gingerbread Scissors Keep” Ornament is shaped like a Christmas tree. Use it for your Christmas Stitching and hang it on your tree when finished. The back of this scissors keep can be personalized with name and date, and also has a special scissors charm. This adorable “Gingerbread Scissors Keep” fits in my delicious new “Gingerbread Needlework Shop” box! Collect all the yummy designs in the Gingerbread Village series, details below. The Gingerbread Village series includes some fragrant Gingerbread ornaments for your tree! This year, I released this Gingerbread Scissors Keep, with a scissors charm and personalization at the back. Like my other Gingerbread projects, this cute ornament is stitched on Gingerbread coloured Cashel linen, like Zweigart’s 'Antique Almond', Picture This Plus's 'Gingerbread', or Lakeside Linen’s 'Vintage Autumn Gold'. They are all decorated with white icing stitching. Collect and stitch all seven Gingerbread buildings, including the Haunted House, the latest Gingerbread Needlework Shop, Gingerbread Bakery, and previous year’s Gingerbread House, Church, Candy Cane Cottage and Gingerbread Tree Etui. Stitch, decorate and hang the delicious Gingerbread cookies on your tree! Look for more Gingerbread Village additions in future years! Sending all of you a delicious and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from my house to yours! -Thea
