It can easily be used to create multiple little pillows or scissor fobs. The single motifs would make charming ornaments The model was worked on 36ct cream linen using silk threads. The DMC colors are the closest match, but not perfect. 18ct Aida would be the equivalent to the linen and can be used, it might be easier to stitch the 5 eyelets
