Jellyfish Brooch Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AD-071

Bead an ethereal jellyfish with Jelly-Fish, a bead embroidery brooch kit by Abris Art — a shimmering lilac bell set with purple crystals, trailing long, swaying tentacles of pearls, bronze and bugle beads. Worked in 20 colours of Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads.

A little stitcher's folklore: sailors believed a jellyfish drifting near the boat meant calm seas ahead, and jellyfish — older than the dinosaurs — have come to stand for going with the flow. Stitchers say wear one and life's currents carry you gently.

Why this kit: if you love unusual, ocean-inspired jewellery, this jellyfish is a real showstopper with beautiful movement. It's a satisfying project for beginners ready for a little challenge. A great gift for sea lovers and divers.

Kit includes: art canvas with the full-colour design printed on it, about 501 Preciosa Czech glass beads in 20 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: 5.8×11 cm (2.28×4.33 in). A striking handmade accessory and a fun gift.
