Did you know?
The lipstick is one of beauty's most enduring symbols, tracing its modern popularity back to the early 20th century when it became a sign of independence and self-expression. From a purely functional standpoint, a traditional tube lipstick—the kind depicted here—consists of a colored wax or oil base shaped into a cylinder and housed in a metal or plastic casing that twists upward to dispense the product. The wooden appearance of the base in this pattern reflects how vintage and premium lipstick tubes were often finished with wood or leather, combining practical elegance with tactile appeal.

Pattern description
This cross-stitch pattern captures a classic cosmetic icon in vibrant jewel tones—a deep crimson lipstick tube rendered in counted cross stitch on 14 DMC colors. The composition stacks the richly shaded red barrel atop a warm-toned wooden base, creating depth and dimension through careful color gradation. At intermediate skill level, the 17×17 stitch count makes this an ideal project for needleworkers ready to move beyond simple motifs, offering satisfying progress without overwhelming complexity. Stitched on Aida fabric with the included DMC palette, it works equally well as a framed accent piece for a vanity, a gift for makeup enthusiasts, or a bold statement in a modern home-décor collection.
