Squirrel Brooch Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AD-042

Bead a red squirrel with Squirrel, a bead embroidery brooch kit by Abris Art — a lively squirrel in honey, orange and amber beads with a bright round eye and a tufted ear, ready to be finished with a bushy tail. Worked with about 640 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads in 17 colours.

A little stitcher's folklore: squirrels are the great planners of the woods, and folk lore says a squirrel crossing your path means you'll never go without — they always put something by for winter. Stitchers say a squirrel on your coat keeps your savings growing and your pantry full.

Why this kit: if you love woodland animals, this squirrel is irresistibly cute and a real autumn favourite. It's a rewarding beginner project that finishes quickly. A charming gift for nature lovers.

Kit includes: art canvas with the full-colour design printed on it, about 640 Preciosa Czech glass beads in 17 colours, beading needles, beading thread, and instructions with a finishing guide. A brooch pin and backing are not included, nor are the feathers and stones 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: 5.7×7 cm (2.24×2.76 in). A playful handmade accessory and a sweet autumn gift.
