Blue Gold Betta Fish Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AB-746

Bead a spectacular betta fish with Blue Gold, a bead embroidery kit by Abris Art — a fighting fish in teal, turquoise and royal blue unfurls its huge flowing fins like silk, flecked with gold, against a dark background. Worked with over 5,200 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads plus 7 colours of microbeads.

A little stitcher's folklore: in Thailand the betta is treasured as a symbol of courage and good luck, and in feng shui a fish in the home brings abundance and keeps energy flowing. Stitchers say a betta on the wall brings bold confidence and a little shimmer of luck to the house.

Why this kit: if you love dramatic, shimmering art, those flowing fins are pure joy to bead — every shade of blue catches the light differently. It's a rewarding project for beaders with some experience. A striking gift for aquarium lovers.

Kit includes: natural art canvas pre-printed with the design, over 5,200 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads plus 7 colours of microbeads, a microbead needle, and instructions. Beading thread, frame and hoop are not included.

Each bead is sewn onto its colour-marked spot on the printed canvas. Bead the body first, then build up the flowing fins shade by shade.

Finished size: 27×39 cm (10.63×15.35 in). Striking wall art for a bathroom, study or living room.
