Kit para bordar un broche con abalorios «Copo de nieve pequeñito»

“Snowflake little” is an eight-pointed snowflake brooch in white, silver and turquoise beads.

What the picture shows

The snowflake is built from eight identical rays that radiate from the centre. The rays are worked in white and silvery pearl microbeads, while their tips and the gaps between them are lit with pale blue and turquoise crystals. A large clear hemisphere sits in the middle, ringed by small drops. Bugle beads run along the rays and make the pattern as graphic as a real snowflake. Inside the outline the printed canvas is stitched densely, then the piece is cut out and assembled.

The finished snowflake is 57×56 mm — a small brooch for a jumper, a scarf or a hat. The level is simple, so the kit suits anyone who has not worked with microbeads before. The same snowflake is often kept as a tree ornament, although the kit holds a brooch clasp rather than a hanging loop. The kit holds about 399 beads in 13 colours, so the work usually spreads over a few evenings.
