Little Sun Sunflower Brooch Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AD-206

Bead a bright sunflower with Little Sun, a bead embroidery brooch kit by Abris Art — golden-yellow petals around a dark, iridescent centre, with three sparkling crystal drops swinging beneath. Worked in 17 colours of Preciosa Ornela Czech seed beads, it's pure sunshine you can wear.

A little stitcher's folklore: sunflowers turn to follow the sun, and folk tradition has long made them a symbol of loyalty, warmth and good luck — some say planting them by the door brings good fortune in. Stitchers say a sunflower worn on a grey day turns every face towards you.

Why this kit: if you want an instant mood-lifter, this cheerful brooch is it — quick to make and impossible to wear without smiling. It's friendly for beginners, and the crystal drops add a lovely bit of movement. A happy gift for a friend who needs some sunshine.

Kit includes: art canvas with the full-colour design printed on it, about 752 Preciosa Czech glass beads in 17 colours, Preciosa No. 13 microbeads in 3 colours, a microbead embroidery needle, beading thread, decorative glass stones and accents (bicones, pearls, rondelles, drops and leaf stones), a decorative brooch clasp, and step-by-step illustrated instructions for the embroidery and finishing.

Each bead is sewn onto its colour-marked spot on the printed canvas. Then add the glass stones, cut the piece out along the outline and assemble it with the decorative clasp from the kit, following the illustrated instructions.

Finished size: 6.6×6.7 cm (2.6×2.64 in). A cheerful handmade accessory and a sunny gift for any occasion.
