Blue Bird Feather Brooch Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AD-095

Bead a bluebird of happiness with Blue Bird, a bead embroidery brooch kit by Abris Art — a deep-blue beaded bird with a sparkling crystal eye and a long, flowing tail of turquoise feathers that moves as you do. Worked in 13 colours of Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads.

A little stitcher's folklore: the bluebird has been a symbol of happiness for centuries — in folk tales, whoever finds the blue bird finds joy. Needlework tradition adds that a stitched bird brings good news into the home. Stitchers say wear this one, and happiness goes where you go.

Why this kit: if you want a statement brooch with movement, this feathered bird is dramatic and joyful. It's quick to make and friendly for beginners. A lovely gift for someone who needs a little happiness.

Kit includes: art canvas with the full-colour design printed on it, about 467 Preciosa Czech glass beads in 13 colours, Preciosa No. 13 microbeads in 1 colour, a microbead embroidery needle, beading thread, decorative glass stones and accents (rondelles, leaf stones, half-round stones and drops), decorative feathers on a ribbon, a decorative brooch clasp, and step-by-step illustrated instructions for the embroidery and finishing.

Each bead is sewn onto its colour-marked spot on the printed canvas. Then add the glass stones, cut the piece out along the outline and assemble it with the decorative clasp from the kit, following the illustrated instructions.

Finished size: 9.5×6.5 cm (3.74×2.56 in). A striking handmade accessory and a joyful gift.
