Description
I love beaded kits, if I am going to sit and stitch anymore, it will likely be a beaded kit, so I was so excited to see these. This kit is easy to sort out, I will say the instructions are "brief" so you should have a working knowledge of cross stitch and beaded embroidery. That said though, it was very easy to sort out, very easy to stitch and the end product is AMAZING. These are not itty bitty ornaments. They are substantial and heirloom quality. I will list the components for each kit on their individual listings. Please see my feedback. I have been stitching for 40+ years, and I have not been so excited about a product in quite some time. If you have any questions, please let me know!
- Title: WONDERLAND CRAFTS - Beaded Cross Stitch on Wood Ornament Kit SOLDIER MOUSE FLK-393
- Size: 6.5 x 13 cm
- Designer: Wonderland Crafts
- Condition: New
- Kit Contains: Perforated wood blank and felt for backing, beads, threads, needles and instructions with chart. The beads are PRECIOSA beads from the Czech Republic, best of all they are COLOR SEPARATED into little numbered bags. Anyone who has done beaded ornaments knows the headache of having to sort bead colors. This takes the guess work out of it completely and one of my favorite things about these kits. You will get needles and threads for beading and stitching the layers together. No worries there either as even the felt is punched for easy stitching. Can you tell I love these kits?! Please let me know if you have any questions. It is a straight forward beaded ornament, on a WOOD blank, the only extra layer is the felt backing to finish.
Keep kit in a small beading box (I use a tupperware container with a tight lid). Beading needles are quite long and bendy. Once you bend them (which sometimes makes things easier), you won't get them straight again, so pay attention.
Bead left to right using a left right bottom top half cross stitch (this is set out in the diagram). IMPORTANT, always go left right. I stitch left to right, run needle under the back of the stitches, back to the left again and start again left to right. This will keep all your beads in the right direction, you will have to fasten off more and it will use more beading thread, but it anchors the beads better I've found. I use a double strand, to stitch. I don't think you have to, but I found in the wood, it fills the hole and holds the bead better. Just make certain you get the very fine thread pulled all the way through the stitch.
Enjoy!

Many times, I will sell kits that have been opened and resealed with tape. I will list all the details as I see them from the package, but there still may be an item (such as a needle) missing, that I just can not see. So please remember, if an item is sold as open, or pre-owned, it is sold AS IS.

My home is NOT pet free. I have a wonderful, beautiful, very hairy German Shepherd and three... yes three... cats. They are not allowed in my eBay room, but their hair has a tendency to "float" everywhere. If you have a severe allergy, please don't take the chance.
