Color Placement


There are no rules here. Use one color for the whole board. Mix all three. Save your favorite for last. Start in the middle, start at the edge, start wherever feels right. These boards are yours to make completely your own, and you can reuse them and buy different colors if you wish.

A few ways people like to use their three floss colors:

  • One color per petalRotate through your colors as you move around the flower for a bold, graphic look.
  • One color for the flower, one for the leaves, one for the centerA classic, clean approach that looks intentional and finished.
  • All three colors mixed togetherThread multiple colors through the needle at once for a variegated, textured effect.
  • One color onlyPick your favorite and use it everywhere for a simple, modern look.
  • Gradient styleStart with one color at the top and switch as you move down for an ombre effect.

Still not sure? Just start. Pick up whichever floss color you are drawn to first and go from there. You can always change colors mid stitch, and no two boards ever turn out the same.

That is kind of the whole point.
