Christmas Gnome Brooch Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AD-208

Bead a festive gnome with Gnome, a bead embroidery brooch kit by Abris Art — a Scandinavian-style Christmas gnome in a tall red beaded hat with sparkling trim and a big, fluffy white beard. Worked in 12 colours of Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads.

A little stitcher's folklore: in Scandinavia the tomte or nisse is a little household gnome who guards the farm and family — leave him a bowl of porridge on Christmas Eve and he'll bring a year of good luck. Stitchers say a gnome pinned on your coat looks after you wherever you go.

Why this kit: if you love hygge-style Christmas, this gnome is the perfect festive accessory — quick, cute and beginner-friendly. A fun Secret Santa or stocking-stuffer gift.

Kit includes: art canvas with the full-colour design printed on it, about 661 Preciosa Czech glass beads in 12 colours, Preciosa No. 13 microbeads in 1 colour, a microbead embroidery needle, beading thread, decorative glass stones and accents (bicones, pearl, half-round stones and leaf stones), a fur pompom, 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 and the fur pompom from the kit, following the illustrated instructions.

Finished size: 5.5×8.7 cm (2.17×3.43 in). A festive handmade accessory and a fun Christmas gift.
