Saint Nicholas Christmas Embroidery Ornament Kit with Beads (Set of 2) by VDV M-0361

Two stuffed Saint Nicholas ornaments with white beards and pompom hats: one in a red hat and coat with a white Nordic reindeer pattern, the other in a green-and-red hat with white snowflakes and a patterned coat.

Why this kit: each ornament is embroidered on both sides, so it looks good from every angle; Nordic-style patterns and beads for a festive, heirloom look; the design is already printed on the fabric, so there is no chart to count or pattern to transfer.

Kit includes: 100% polyester fabric with the design pre-printed, 100% cotton embroidery floss, Preciosa beads, a Pony needle, hollowfiber filling, soutache cord, and instructions. Each piece measures about 11x12 cm (4.33x4.72 in). Made in Ukraine.

Because the design is printed on the fabric, there is no chart to count: the motifs are embroidered in satin stitch and decorative stitches with the cotton floss, the beads are sewn on, then the pieces are stitched together, stuffed with the hollowfiber filling, and trimmed with the soutache cord.

A lovely way to start a family tradition of handmade ornaments, and a heartfelt Christmas gift.
