Cactus Applique Felt Kit by Corinne Lapierre APPCTS1O

Three exotic cacti in their own terracotta pots - this Cactus Applique Felt Hoop Kit layers wool-mix felt shapes, 12 DMC threads, and two colors of sequins on a 19 cm wooden hoop to create a lively 20 cm framed picture ready to hang as soon as the last stitch is in. Suitable for beginners and more advanced crafters - full-scale templates and a stitch guide are provided, and the embroidery patterns can be followed as suggested or adapted freely. Finished size: 20 cm finished. Hoop: 19 cm wooden (included). Skill level: Intermediate
