Nature Totem Stag Beetle Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AB-955

Bead Nature Totem, a bead embroidery kit by Abris Art — a glossy metallic-green horned beetle with translucent wings sits inside a golden crescent moon, surrounded by little stars and teal swirling patterns in a round frame. Worked with over 6,750 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads, plus Preciosa microbeads for fine detail.

A little stitcher's folklore: in ancient Egypt the beetle was a sacred amulet of the rising sun and new beginnings, and in European lore a stag beetle was said to protect the home from lightning. Stitchers say this beetle totem brings strength and protection.

Why this kit: if you love unusual, jewel-like designs, this beetle is a striking totem. A rewarding project for confident beginners and experienced beaders, and a distinctive gift for nature lovers.

Kit includes: natural art canvas pre-printed with the design, over 6,750 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 beetle first, then the moon, stars and swirls.

Finished size: 25×25 cm (9.84×9.84 in). Jewel-like wall art.
