Christmas Ornament Bead Embroidery Kit "I give presents!"

“I give presents!” shows a snowman in a red hat and scarf standing between two small fir trees, draped with beaded garlands.

What the picture shows

The snowman’s head and body are worked in white matt beads, the hat in red with a white turn-up, the garlands in alternating red and white, and the little trees on either side in green. The square base has a pale blue ground with printed snowflakes and a house in the distance; it is left open, so the beads work as relief over the drawing. The edge is trimmed with white beads. The second part of the work is a blue square with a large deep blue snowflake.

The pieces are sewn together with the padding inside and a loop of the decorative ribbon at the top. The format is small, so the ornament travels easily as a gift tucked into an envelope. The card with the red car, the kraft parcel and the cone in the photo are styling props. The garlands of red and white beads are strung in long lines and are the most noticeable part of the work. The pattern is printed on the canvas, so it is enough to follow the colour.
