Beetles Insect Collection Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AB-730

Bead a jewelled insect collection with Beetles, a bead embroidery kit by Abris Art — ornate beetles, bees and moths in turquoise, emerald, gold, coral and violet, arranged across a dark canvas like a vintage entomology display. Worked with over 6,600 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads in 30 colours, plus large beads and microbeads for extra detail.

A little stitcher's folklore: in ancient Egypt the scarab beetle was a charm of renewal and protection, and bees were believed to carry news between worlds. Country lore says a beetle wandering into the house brings good fortune. Stitchers say a whole collection of them on the wall keeps luck arriving from every direction.

Why this kit: if you love curiosities, natural history or dark-academia style, this is a truly unusual piece — every insect is its own small jewel to finish. It's a rewarding, absorbing project for beaders with some experience. A memorable gift for nature lovers and collectors.

Kit includes: natural art canvas pre-printed with the design, over 6,600 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads in 30 colours plus large beads and microbeads, a beading needle, and instructions. Beading thread, frame and hoop are not included.

Each bead is sewn onto its colour-marked spot on the printed canvas. Work one insect at a time, from the bodies out to the legs and antennae.

Finished size: 24×33 cm (9.45×12.99 in). Striking wall art for a study or library, and a memorable gift.
