BP-270C Beadwork kit for creating brooch Crystal Art "Bug"

Bead-embroider Bug with this Charivna Mit beadwork kit — a lilac and dusty-mauve insect silhouette with a sculpted crystal flower at its center, curved gold-beaded antennae, and a scalloped double-lobed body built up from pearl, sequin, and glass-bead clusters in soft violet and cream tones.

Why this kit: the felt pieces create a soft dimensional finish; the templates and stitch guide make the project approachable; the finished ornament or hoop art is easy to display or give as a handmade gift.

Kit includes: instruction chart, color pattern, Preciosa beads in 8 colors (4 sizes), Crystal Art beads in 7 colors (5 sizes), gimp, sequins, wire in 1 color, felt, fastener, and a needle (cardboard backing, beading thread, and glue are needed but sold separately). Made in Ukraine.

Bead embroidery is worked by following the color scheme and stitching each bead onto the felt base in the indicated position and shade, building up texture and shine bead by bead, then mounting the finished piece onto cardboard backing for structure. Once complete, attach the brooch pin to wear or gift.

Finished size: 5.5x5.5 cm (2.17x2.17 in). A quick beadwork project and a distinctive handmade accessory for anyone who likes nature-inspired jewelry with a soft, romantic palette.
