Witchcraft Business Witch Hat Brooch Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AD-243

Bead Witchcraft Business, a beaded brooch kit by Abris Art — a black witch hat with a curled tip, a sparkling purple crystal buckle and a swinging purple tassel. Worked with over 566 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads in 23 colours, plus microbeads, rondelle and hemisphere stones and bullion wire.

A little stitcher's folklore: in old tales the pointed hat belonged to the village wise woman, and wearing a little piece of witchery was said to keep mischief away. Stitchers say a witch hat brooch brings its wearer a touch of good magic.

Why this kit: if you love Halloween and playful accessories, this hat brooch is fun, sparkly and quick to make. Great for beginners and a perfect gift for witchy friends.

Kit includes: art canvas with the full-colour design printed on it, about 566 Preciosa Czech glass beads in 23 colours, Preciosa No. 13 microbeads in 4 colours, a microbead embroidery needle, decorative glass stones and accents (rondelles, bicones, bugle beads and half-round stones), 8 cm of gold bullion wire, 12 cm of decorative wire, 2 m of cotton thread, beading thread, 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: 7.3×7 cm (2.87×2.76 in). A playful handmade brooch.
