Create Gnome with this Charivna Mit beadwork kit — a round-faced Christmas gnome in red seed beads, with a fluffy woven-floss white beard, a tall pointed hat finished with a soft pompom, and dangling beaded legs. 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 13 colors (6 sizes), Crystal Art beads in 4 colors (4 sizes), gimp, floss, felt, fastener, fittings, and a needle (cardboard backing, beading thread, and glue are needed but sold separately). Made in Ukraine. Bead embroidery is worked by following the color scheme and stitching each bead onto the felt base in the indicated position and shade, building up texture and shine bead by bead, with the beard portion worked in floss for a soft contrast, then mounting the piece onto cardboard for structure. Once complete, attach the brooch pin to wear or gift. Finished size: 6.5x9 cm (2.56x3.54 in). A festive beadwork project and a charming handmade holiday gift for a gnome or Christmas-decor collector.
