Sweetie Angel Brooch Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AD-226

Bead a little guardian angel with Sweetie, a bead embroidery brooch kit by Abris Art — an angel in a pink beaded dress with a long blonde braid, pearly white wings and delicate crystal-drop legs. Worked in 18 colours of Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads, with microbeads, pearls and crystals.

A little stitcher's folklore: a guardian angel is said to walk beside each of us, and finding a white feather is a sign they're near. Needleworkers say whatever you stitch and wear close to you, you carry with you — so this little angel keeps watch wherever you go.

Why this kit: if you want to make something meaningful, this angel is a beautiful keepsake — for a christening, a daughter, or a friend who needs protecting. Everything to finish it, clasp included, is in the box.

Kit includes: art canvas with the full-colour design printed on it, about 649 Preciosa Czech glass beads in 18 colours, Preciosa No. 13 microbeads in 2 colours, a microbead embroidery needle, beading thread, decorative glass stones and accents (rondelles, pearls, drops and bicones), decorative threads (5 m, 2 kinds), 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: 6.9×7 cm (2.72×2.76 in). A meaningful handmade accessory and a heartfelt gift.
