Moon Date Cats and Moon Brooch Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AD-039

Bead a romantic moonlit scene with Moon Date, a bead embroidery brooch kit by Abris Art — two black cats sit face to face on a budding branch, silhouetted against a pale pearl-and-pink full moon. Worked with about 1,268 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads in 9 colours.

A little stitcher's folklore: lovers have always made their promises by moonlight, and in Britain and Japan a black cat is a lucky charm. Needleworkers say stitch in pairs and love stays close — two black cats under a full moon is about as lucky as love gets.

Why this kit: if you love cats and a little romance, this round brooch is a sweet, wearable love token. With only 9 colours it's approachable for beginners. A perfect Valentine's or anniversary gift for cat lovers.

Kit includes: art canvas with the full-colour design printed on it, about 1,268 Preciosa Czech glass beads in 9 colours, beading needles, beading thread, and instructions with a finishing guide. A brooch pin and backing are not included, nor are the crystals and other decorations 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 with a backing and pin of your choice.

Finished size: 7×7 cm (2.76×2.76 in). A romantic handmade accessory and a sweet gift for cat lovers.
