You are now ready to fill with stuffing, ensure you fill into the corners. The biscornu is nearly finished and should now look like this. You are now ready to put the finishing touches to your biscornu Put a couple of stitches through the centre to pull the biscornu into shape I attached the Swarovski crystal with fabric glue or you could use a small button or charm.

There are a number of ways to prepare your finished cross stitch or embroidery for framing. One of the easiest is to use self-stick mounting board, also called press-on board or simply, sticky board. Sticky board is thick cardboard with a high-tack adhesive on one side. It's acid-free so sticky board is safe for all kinds of needlework, and the adhesive is repositionable so it is particularly forgiving and easy to use.
