Warm Embrace Snowman Christmas Ornament Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art ABT-005

Bead a cheerful snowman ornament with Warm Embrace, a bead embroidery kit by Abris Art — a round snowman in a red hat and a cosy green scarf on a frosty blue disc, finished in a clear acrylic frame with a ribbon for hanging. Worked in 9 colours of Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads.

A little stitcher's folklore: in many families a new ornament is added to the tree each year, and old tradition says one you made yourself carries the luck of the whole season. A snowman, stitchers say, brings a white Christmas and a warm house full of laughter.

Why this kit: if you want to start a handmade-ornament tradition, this is the perfect first one — small, quick and beginner-friendly, with only 9 colours. The acrylic frame gives it a neat, finished look straight away. Make a set for the tree, or tuck one into a Christmas card.

Kit includes: natural art canvas pre-printed with the design, 9 colours of Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads, a Japanese beading needle, a clear acrylic frame, decorative ribbon, and instructions with a symbol key.

Each bead is sewn onto its marked spot on the printed canvas. When finished, fit the beadwork into the acrylic frame and add the ribbon to hang.

Finished size: 6.6×6.6 cm (2.6×2.6 in). A handmade Christmas tree ornament and a sweet stocking-stuffer gift.
