Crystal Patterns Blue Christmas Ornaments Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AB-925

Bead Crystal Patterns, a Christmas bead embroidery kit by Abris Art — blue, navy and ice-blue Christmas baubles and star ornaments hang on golden threads, each decorated with gold star patterns, snowflakes and crystal drops on a cream background. Worked with Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads in 20 colours, plus Preciosa microbeads for fine detail.

A little stitcher's folklore: the first Christmas baubles were blown glass, hung to catch candlelight and — folk belief said — to reflect away bad luck. Stitchers say blue ornaments bring a calm, peaceful holiday and a clear start to the new year.

Why this kit: if you love elegant, frosty Christmas decor, these blue ornaments are chic and sparkle beautifully. A rewarding project for confident beginners and experienced beaders, and a treasured handmade Christmas gift.

Kit includes: natural art canvas pre-printed with the design, Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads in 20 colours, Preciosa No. 13 microbeads with a microbead needle, a Japanese beading needle, a numbered key chart, and instructions in 8 languages. Beading thread, frame and hoop are not included.

Each bead is sewn onto its colour-marked spot on the printed canvas. Bead the large baubles first, then the stars, snowflakes and golden threads.

Finished size: 28×28 cm (11.02×11.02 in). Elegant Christmas wall art you'll bring out every year.
