Heart of France Eiffel Tower Brooch Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AD-099

Bead the Eiffel Tower with Heart of France, a bead embroidery brooch kit by Abris Art — a black and silver beaded tower with delicate lattice detail and a sparkling pink heart at its base. Worked in 11 colours of Preciosa Ornela Czech seed beads, it's Paris in miniature.

A little stitcher's folklore: lovers have been leaving padlocks on Paris bridges for years, trusting the city to keep their promises safe. Needleworkers say whatever you stitch and wear close to your heart becomes a promise of its own — pin on this tower and Paris goes with you, whether you've been or are still dreaming of it.

Why this kit: if Paris holds a piece of your heart, this is a quick, romantic project you'll wear again and again. It's a gentle introduction to bead embroidery, small enough to finish in an evening or two, and a lovely gift for a Francophile, a honeymooner or a friend planning their first trip.

Kit includes: art canvas with the full-colour design printed on it, about 363 Preciosa Czech glass beads in 11 colours, Preciosa No. 13 microbeads in 4 colours, a microbead embroidery needle, beading thread, decorative glass stones and accents (rondelles and bicones), 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: 4.6×8.5 cm (1.81×3.35 in). A romantic handmade accessory and a sweet gift for Paris lovers.
