I always wonder... How do you make them glued like that? Well, you stitch all that has to be stitched, and then?

I stitched the separate pieces so there was an empty row of plastic around each, then just stitched the adjacent pieces together with something like a whip stitch. I actually did the whole thing with full crosses, but you could use half, especially on a larger scale with yarn. The plastic canvas provides all the stability, I didn't use any stuffing on this little one. Maybe a full size one would need a bit of stuffing.

I bought some yarn today to try these on ornament-scale, I'll post pics when I make some.

Oh, okay, thanks! Fortunately I have some plastic canvas but much bigger so I'll have huge pieces xD I'll try them!

Made a full-size Tetris cube ornament with sparkly yarn. I got 4 colors of sparkly yarn, so I can make a different shape with each color. I will probably try some different patterns for the bricks rather than just half stitches on the next one.

I want to make these for my tree! I'm going to Micheal's tonight and I think I won't be able to resist buying supplies for this. When my in-laws come for Christmas they are going to think I'm weird.
