Queen of Hearts Playing Card Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AB-940

Bead Queen of Hearts, a bead embroidery kit by Abris Art — an ornate Queen of Hearts playing card: a dark-haired queen in a golden crown and black gown, framed by red roses, golden scrolls and a glowing ruby heart, on a white card with red heart suits. Worked with over 5,580 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads in 16 colours, plus Preciosa microbeads for fine detail.

A little stitcher's folklore: in fortune-telling with playing cards, the Queen of Hearts is the card of a loving, generous woman and good fortune in love. Stitchers say drawing the Queen of Hearts — or beading her — brings love and luck to your hand.

Why this kit: if you love elegant, playful designs, this queen is glamorous and full of sparkle. A satisfying project for confident beginners and experienced beaders, and a fun gift for card players, Alice in Wonderland fans or a special queen in your life.

Kit includes: natural art canvas pre-printed with the design, over 5,580 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads in 16 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 queen's face, crown and gown first, then the roses, heart and card border.

Finished size: 21×29 cm (8.27×11.42 in). Glamorous wall art and a fun gift.
