Bird Medallion Pendant Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AD-002

Bead a folk-art bird medallion with Bird, a bead embroidery kit by Abris Art — a stylised bird in blues and greens with a sparkling crystal eye, set on an oval medallion edged in violet and finished with a swinging fringe of bead drops. Worked in 12 colours of Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads, it looks beautiful on a choker or pinned to a coat.

A little stitcher's folklore: in folk embroidery, birds are messengers of good news, and a bird worn near the heart was believed to protect its wearer and bring happy tidings. Stitchers say a beaded bird around your neck keeps good news flying your way.

Why this kit: if you love handmade jewellery with a folk-art feel, this medallion is a real statement piece. It's a satisfying project for beginners ready for a little challenge, and it can be worn as a pendant or a brooch. A unique gift for a jewellery lover.

Kit includes: art canvas with the full-colour design printed on it, about 844 Preciosa Czech glass beads in 12 colours, beading needles, beading thread, and instructions with a finishing guide. A brooch pin and backing are not included, nor are the decorative details shown in the photos.

Each bead is sewn onto its colour-marked spot on the printed canvas. When the beadwork is done, follow the finishing guide to cut it out along the outline, then mount it as a brooch or pendant with a backing and pin of your choice.

Finished size: 6×6.5 cm (2.36×2.56 in). A striking handmade accessory and a thoughtful gift.
