Emma's Recs

Tools that don't suck.

From her go-to paints to the tools she actually finishes a project with, here’s everything Emma swears by to make stitching smoother, prettier, and way less chaotic. 

Perfect for beginners, overachievers, and everyone in between.

General Accessories

Paint

  • Acrylic Paint Pens

    Paint pens are a great, beginner friendly way to start painting your own needlepoint canvases for personal use. That's how Emma started!

  • Acrylic Paint

    For those who are confident with a paint brush, Emma loves using Deco Art Americana paint for her canvases. This is a good starter kit of colors to get going with.

Finishing Your Own Ornaments

  • Cording Machine

    If you want to make your own cording, this tool is incredibly useful. Allows you to make up to 4-color cording.

  • Sewing clips

    These guys will be your best friend when you're finishing your own projects!

  • Sharp Needles

    You'll need sharp needles to sew the front and back of your ornament together.

  • Invisible Thread

    Using invisible thread helps keep your project looking clean when sewing the front and back sides of your ornament together, and when you're sewing cording on.
