The Scarlett House Be Merry and Bright on Legacy Linen 38 count Irish Coffee with the following threads:
Accentuate 22
Surfine 2694
Gobelins 235 (new dyelot), 2125
100/3 281, 657, 688, 740
It is embellished with 4mm crystal briolettes in Silver Shade, which you can find here: https://artbeads.com/jewelry-supplies/prestige-crystal-5040-4mm-briolette-bead-crystal-silver-shade-5040-css4/
With one briolette stitched on every 1/2 inch, I used 36 briolettes but you would need more if stitching the words on the chart.
Each briolette is anchored by a 15/0 seed bead, the same beads used to embellish the stitching, silver lined crystal: https://www.caravanbeads.com/p/2831-15-1-15/0-S/L-Crystal-Like-DB-41-Miyuki-Seed-Bead.aspx
And I used Au Ver a Soie metallic braid, size 8, color 0102 for the ornament hanger

Charts shown: Plum Street This Joyous Season, which I am stitching on Legacy Linen Irish Coffee but would also look amazing with Himalayan Fog
Brenda Gervais' When Santa's Away and Mr. Marshmallow (to be stitched on Legacy Linen 38 count Filbert), and her wool applique/punchneedle pattern Snow Folk at Winter Berry Hill
Modern Folk Embroidery Through the Bitter Frost and Snow
