Bright Bird Free-Form Bead Embroidery Kit by VDV TN-0720

A firebird-style bird in deep red with a long tail of curling feathers in red, gold, and blue flies through pink and coral blossoms and leaves on a pale green background.

Why this kit: free-form beading follows the swirling feather lines for a raised, flowing effect; a wide 36x21 cm format that suits a sofa or console wall; the printed design shows where each run of beads goes, so there is no grid to count.

Kit includes: satin fabric (100% polyester) with the design printed in color, Czech Preciosa beads in 9 colors (49 g), Tytan thread, and a Pony needle. Finished size: 36x21 cm (14.17x8.27 in). Made in Ukraine.

Free-form bead embroidery does not follow a grid: short runs of beads are stitched along the printed lines and shapes, building raised, textured contours rather than a flat mosaic, which gives the finished piece extra depth and shine.

A creative project for bead embroidery fans and a vibrant gift.
