Orchid Flower Brooch Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AD-212

Bead an exotic bloom with Orchid, a bead embroidery brooch kit by Abris Art — an asymmetric orchid in hot pink, sky blue and teal, set with faceted crystals and edged in gold. Worked in 25 colours of Preciosa Ornela Czech seed beads, it's bright, bold and full of sparkle.

A little stitcher's folklore: the ancient Greeks believed orchids could decide the fate of an unborn child, and in Chinese tradition the orchid is the flower of refinement, friendship and many blessings. Stitchers say an orchid worn close brings grace and good company wherever you go.

Why this kit: if you love colour, this is a joyful project — every bead adds another splash. It's a satisfying step up for beaders who've tried a simpler kit, and the finished brooch is a real conversation piece. A lovely gift for orchid growers and colour lovers.

Kit includes: art canvas with the full-colour design printed on it, about 526 Preciosa Czech glass beads in 25 colours, Preciosa No. 13 microbeads in 3 colours, a microbead embroidery needle, beading thread, decorative glass stones and accents (rondelles, sequins, half-round stones, drops, pearls and leaf stones), 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: 6.7×5.3 cm (2.64×2.09 in). A vibrant handmade accessory and a thoughtful gift for flower lovers.
