Angel Wing Brooch Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AD-202

Bead a shimmering angel wing with Wing, a bead embroidery brooch kit by Abris Art — layered feathers of silver, grey and violet beads, set with purple crystals and finished with a soft blush-pink feather trim. Worked in 22 colours of Preciosa Ornela Czech seed beads.

A little stitcher's folklore: finding a white feather is said to be a sign that a guardian angel is near, and wings have always stood for protection and freedom. Needleworkers say whatever you stitch and wear close to you, you carry with you — so a wing worn on your coat is a guardian that never leaves your side.

Why this kit: if you want to make something meaningful, this wing is a beautiful keepsake — for yourself, or for someone going through a big change. It's a satisfying project for beaders with a little experience, and a lovely stretch for keen beginners.

Kit includes: art canvas with the full-colour design printed on it, about 529 Preciosa Czech glass beads in 22 colours, Preciosa No. 13 microbeads in 5 colours, a microbead embroidery needle, beading thread, decorative glass stones and accents (rondelles, bicones, drops, bugle beads, leaf stones and a triangle stone), decorative feathers on a ribbon, a decorative brooch clasp, and step-by-step illustrated instructions for the embroidery and finishing.

Each bead is sewn onto its colour-marked spot on the printed canvas. Then add the glass stones, cut the piece out along the outline and assemble it with the decorative clasp from the kit, following the illustrated instructions.

Finished size: 7.3×6.3 cm (2.87×2.48 in). An elegant handmade accessory and a heartfelt gift of protection and love.
