A Legend of Success Four-Leaf Clover Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AB-929

Bead A Legend of Success, a bead embroidery kit by Abris Art — a glossy four-leaf clover in emerald green edged with bronze and gold rises on a curling stem, glowing against a magical background of green light and little shamrocks. Worked with over 5,080 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads, plus Preciosa microbeads for fine detail.

A little stitcher's folklore: only about one clover in ten thousand has four leaves, which is why finding one is the classic sign of luck — the four leaves are said to stand for hope, faith, love and luck. Stitchers say a four-leaf clover beaded by hand brings success to whoever it hangs for.

Why this kit: if you want a lucky charm for your home or office, this clover is striking and full of shimmer. A rewarding project for confident beginners and experienced beaders, and a perfect good-luck gift for exams, a new job or a new business.

Kit includes: natural art canvas pre-printed with the design, over 5,080 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads, 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 clover leaves first, then the stem and glowing background.

Finished size: 20×30 cm (7.87×11.81 in). A lucky charm for the wall and a good-luck gift.
