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: art canvas with the full-colour design printed on it, about 490 Preciosa Czech glass beads in 16 colours, beading needles, beading thread, and instructions with a finishing guide. A brooch pin and backing are not included, nor are the crystals and other decorations shown in the photos.

Each bead is sewn onto its colour-marked spot on the printed canvas. When the beadwork is done, follow the finishing guide to cut it out along the outline, then mount it as a brooch with a backing and pin of your choice.

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