If embroidery or cross stitch is your thing, or if you have a grandmother or mother that loves needlework, these designs make a classy gift to celebrate your affiliation.

This art work can't be finished in a day, so if you want to have a great gift finished in time for Christmas, now is a great time to start stitching.  These Counted Cross Stitch Kits come with #14 aida cloth, DMC floss in the colors required, a needle, the chart and a set of instructions for the sorority (or fraternity) coat-of-arms. Each design cloth is approx. 9" x 12" which should make it easy to frame since it is a standard size.

The only image that I have available is for a fraternity cross stitch kit.  Sorority cross stitch kits that are also available.

These Greek cross stitch kits come in almost every sorority (and fraternity) so check and see if yours is available.

First on the list are Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Gamma Delta, and Alpha Omicron Pi.  Many more sororities are available.

NOTE:     -Your  sorority cross stitch kit will  ship free!             with Coupon:  ILOVEGREEKGEAR

For Directions:

These magnets require:
1. foam or wooden shapes
2. acrylic paint in the colors of your choice
3. detail paintbrush(s) and fine sharpee in black
3. craft magnets (best buy comes in a roll that can be cut into one inch pieces. You peel off the backing paper from the magnet revealing adhesive which allows you to stick the magnet on the back of your wooden or foam shape)

These can be made from wooden or foam shapes. The ones appearing in the photo were prepainted green so that saved me some time. I only needed a few colors of acrylic paint, namely pink, white, green, and black. Once you buy your sorority colors in acrylic paint plus white and black, you will be set to make and paint a multitude of surprises or gifts for your little sister or your big sister.

Sorority Magnet Directions
1. On paper, practice drawing a very basic turtle or mascot of your choice.

2. When it looks ok to you, copy it "free hand" onto the wooden or foam shape in pencil (lightly so you can erase if needed).

3. Next, you paint the largest areas. ( You will find that cheap brushes will not give near as good results as better brushes. The craft stores sell brushes for about $3 that will help you succeed)
When it dries, consider adding a pattern. I added white polka dots to the pink turtle shell.

4. Then paint the face (eyes and mouth) with white and black paint. Dab on a tiny shite circle for the eye and wait for it to dry. For the black eyeball and mouth, you can either use a very thin liner brush or use a fine permanent paint pen like a fine sharpie.

5. Your Greek letters can be painted on or drawn on with paint pens like Sharpee. I prefer to paint them as seen in the samples. I used PINK on the green background so that it would show up well. I usually have to put 2 coats of paint if I use a light color like pink on a dark background like green. You can outline your letters with a black pen if desired.

6. To complete your custom made sorority magnet: After the paint is dry, adhere a small strip of magnet onto the back of the shape.
