Lavender Bouquet Brooch Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AD-074

Bead a little lavender bouquet with Lavender, a bead embroidery brooch kit by Abris Art — purple and violet sprigs of lavender on green stems, gathered together with a gold band. Worked in 19 colours of Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads.

A little stitcher's folklore: lavender was tucked into linen, hung over doorways and carried by brides to bring calm, devotion and a happy marriage. Some said a sprig in your pocket kept worries away. Stitchers say a lavender brooch works the same way — a little calm you can wear.

Why this kit: if you want a sweet, understated brooch, this lavender bouquet goes with everything. It's a relaxing project that's easy for beginners and quick to finish. A lovely gift for a bride, a gardener or anyone who could use a little calm.

Kit includes: art canvas with the full-colour design printed on it, about 795 Preciosa Czech glass beads in 19 colours, beading needles, beading thread, and instructions with a finishing guide. A brooch pin and backing are not included.

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: 6.6×9.1 cm (2.6×3.58 in). A pretty handmade accessory and a thoughtful gift for lavender lovers.
