Bead-embroider Cherry with this Charivna Mit beadwork kit — a pair of glossy red and burgundy pearl-bead cherries joined by brown bugle-bead stems beneath a leafy green top. Why this kit: the felt pieces create a soft dimensional finish; the templates and stitch guide make the project approachable; the finished ornament or hoop art is easy to display or give as a handmade gift. Kit includes: instruction chart, color pattern, Preciosa beads in 9 colors, Crystal Art beads in 12 colors (6 sizes), felt in 1 color, a fastener, and a needle. Made in Ukraine. Backing cardboard, beading thread, and glue for mounting are sold separately. Bead embroidery is worked by following the color pattern and stitching each bead onto the backing in the indicated position and shade, building up texture and shine bead by bead. Once the beadwork is complete, mount it onto stiff backing cardboard (purchased separately) and attach the fastener to wear or gift. Finished size: 4 x 5 cm (1.57 x 1.97 in). A quick beadwork project and a fun fruit-themed accessory or gift.
