Bead embroidery photo frame kits are 7 designs in which the frame itself is stitched and a photograph goes inside. Formats run from 215×160 to 380×310 mm with up to 25 bead colours. Four kits are rated easy and three advanced.
What is included
Artist canvas with the full-colour design printed on it, Czech Preciosa beads, a needle, the findings for assembling the frame and illustrated instructions. The photograph is not included: the aperture size is given in the specifications.
How long it takes
15–40 hours depending on the format and colour count. Kits with 25 colours and an advanced rating are several weeks of work and are better attempted with a finished piece already behind you.
