What is included

- Czech Preciosa beads, and on some kits microbeads and decorative stones.
- A needle.

Subjects
Decorative motifs (58 kits), animals and birds (33), insects (17), flowers (10), winter (9), romantic designs (6), patriotic designs (5) and marine subjects (3). The insects are a recognisable line of their own: dragonflies, butterflies and beetles worked with microbeads and stones.
How long it takes
4–10 hours depending on size and the amount of fine detail. A 44×70 mm brooch is roughly one evening; a 65×95 mm design with microbeads takes two or three.
Questions and answers
Is the pin back included?
Yes, the brooch back comes with the kit along with the materials for finishing the reverse.
Is the finished brooch heavy?
No. The base is thin canvas, so the piece is light and does not drag on the fabric.
Is it suitable for a beginner?
Most kits are rated medium: the work is fine but short. If you have never done bead embroidery, start with a magnet or a bracelet.
How do I care for a beaded brooch?
Do not wash it; clean it locally with a damp cloth and store it away from sharp objects.
