Moon and Star Brooch Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AD-072

Bead a midnight crescent with Moon, a bead embroidery brooch kit by Abris Art — a dark crescent moon in black, deep blue and graphite beads, edged in pale silver light, with a little beaded star designed to hang below. Worked with about 561 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads in 18 colours.

A little stitcher's folklore: people have wished on the moon for as long as there have been people, and folk custom says a wish made on a new crescent grows as the moon does. A star beside it doubles the wish. Stitchers say wear the moon and its luck waxes with you.

Why this kit: if you love celestial style, this brooch is effortlessly cool — dark, sparkly and a little mysterious. It's a satisfying beading project to finish in a few evenings, and the dangling star adds lovely movement. A perfect gift for dreamers and night owls.

Kit includes: art canvas with the full-colour design printed on it, about 561 Preciosa Czech glass beads in 18 colours, beading needles, beading thread, and instructions with a finishing guide. A brooch pin and backing are not included.

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: 6×7.5 cm (2.36×2.95 in). A celestial handmade accessory and a thoughtful gift for moon lovers.
