Blue Dragonfly Brooch Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AD-073

Bead a jewel-bright dragonfly with Dragonfly, a bead embroidery brooch kit by Abris Art — cobalt blue wings like stained glass, outlined in gold, and a long blue-and-gold segmented tail. Worked with about 490 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads in 16 colours.

A little stitcher's folklore: in Japan the dragonfly is a symbol of courage and victory, and in many cultures it stands for change and new beginnings — a dragonfly landing near you is said to bring good news. Stitchers say wear one, and life's next chapter arrives on light wings.

Why this kit: if you love nature-inspired jewellery, this dragonfly is elegant and striking, and it's a lovely project to finish in a few evenings. It suits beginners who want a little challenge. A meaningful gift for someone starting something new.

Kit includes: natural art canvas with the full-colour design printed on it, about 490 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads in 16 colours, Japanese beading needles, beading thread, and instructions with a finishing guide. The pin back, backing and any decorative stones shown in the photos are not included.

Each bead is sewn onto its marked spot on the printed canvas. When the beadwork is done, follow the finishing guide to cut out the dragonfly and back it, then add a brooch pin.

Finished size: 8.2×8.5 cm (3.23×3.35 in). An elegant handmade accessory and a thoughtful gift for nature lovers.
