Paper Snakes

Paper snakes are a favorite Christmas decoration in Denmark. We know them as “musetrapper” (mouse stairs).

Napkin (21½ x 21½ cm): Embroidered with contour stitches on 8 thread linen canvas using one thread in the needle.

Bookmark (26 x 5 cm): Embroidered with cross stitches and back stitches on 8 thread linen canvas using one thread in the needle.

I have used flora-cotton, but any yarn and color can be used.
