Purple Wave Cuff Bracelet Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art ADB-003

Bead an elegant evening cuff with Purple Wave, a bead embroidery bracelet kit by Abris Art — a black beaded band with dark shimmering leaves and a sweeping lilac-and-purple wave motif set with crystals. Worked in 20 colours of Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads.

A little stitcher's folklore: purple was once the colour of royalty and wisdom, and amethyst purples were worn to keep a clear head. Stitchers say a purple cuff made by your own hand brings a little quiet confidence wherever you wear it.

Why this kit: if you love sophisticated, evening-ready jewellery, this cuff is dramatic yet wearable. It's a rewarding project for beaders with some experience. A beautiful gift for anyone who loves purple.

Kit includes: art canvas with the full-colour design printed on it, about 1,409 Preciosa Czech glass beads in 20 colours, Preciosa No. 13 microbeads in 4 colours, beading needles and a microbead needle, beading thread, decorative glass stones and accents (drops, bicones, leaf stones, hatchet-cut stones and bugle beads), bracelet findings (2 end clamps, a hook, 2 rings and an extension chain), 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 band out along the outline and attach the clamps, hook and chain from the kit to finish the cuff, following the illustrated instructions.

Finished size: 15.2×4.6 cm (5.98×1.81 in). An elegant handmade accessory and a thoughtful gift.
