Nerdy Dice Cross Stitch?

Post by CandidGamera »

Hey folks, I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. I need it to eventually fit into an 8 x 10 inch frame. On 16 in aida cloth if possible. It's for a friends husbands nerd den.

I'm not sure how you'd the numbers but I think backstitching the dice with 2-3 threads would look great (instead of trying to cross-stitch that part).

I havent looked at the words yet, but here are some possible dice. They are about 1-2 inch each, and can be arranged at will.
