Peacock Brooch Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AD-006

Bead a proud peacock with Peacock, a bead embroidery brooch kit by Abris Art — a fanned tail of blue and turquoise feathers with shimmering eye-spots, finished with a swinging fringe of blue beads. Worked in 15 colours of Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads.

A little stitcher's folklore: the "eye" of the peacock feather was believed to watch over and protect whoever carried it, and in India the peacock stands for grace, beauty and good fortune. Stitchers say a peacock on your lapel keeps a lucky eye out for you.

Why this kit: if you love rich blues and statement pieces, this peacock is a joy to make and to wear. It's quick and beginner-friendly, and the fringe adds lovely movement. A beautiful gift for anyone who loves peacock colours.

Kit includes: art canvas with the full-colour design printed on it, about 983 Preciosa Czech glass beads in 15 colours, beading needles, beading thread, and instructions with a finishing guide. A brooch pin and backing are not included, nor are the stones shown in the photos.

Each bead is sewn onto its colour-marked spot on the printed canvas. When the beadwork is done, follow the finishing guide to cut it out along the outline, then mount it as a brooch with a backing and pin of your choice.

Finished size: 6.5×5.7 cm (2.56×2.24 in). A striking handmade accessory and a thoughtful gift.
