New Year's House Christmas Ornament Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art ABT-020

Bead a two-sided Christmas cottage with New Year's House, a bead embroidery ornament kit by Abris Art — a candy-trimmed winter cottage with a snowy roof on a mint-green disc, and a second festive little house on the reverse. Worked in just 6 colours of Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads, and finished with a clear acrylic frame and ribbon.

A little stitcher's folklore: there's a well-loved needlework omen — stitch a house and you'll have a home of your own. Hang one on the Christmas tree, stitchers say, and the new year brings a warm, happy house full of the people you love.

Why this kit: if you're house-hunting, just moved, or simply love gingerbread-style decor, this sweet ornament is perfect. With only 6 colours it's one of the easiest kits in the range. A lovely "first Christmas in our new home" gift.

Kit includes: natural art canvas pre-printed with both sides of the design, 6 colours of Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads, a Japanese beading needle, a clear acrylic frame, decorative ribbon, and instructions with a symbol key.

Each bead is sewn onto its marked spot on the printed canvas. When both sides are done, fit them into the acrylic frame and add the ribbon to hang.

Finished size: 6.6 cm (2.6 in) round, beaded on both sides. A handmade Christmas tree ornament and a sweet housewarming gift.
