Description
Our Christmas Brick Stitch Kit has everything you need to make your own Christmas charms and pendants.
This kit is a great introduction to brick stitch, covering how to start Brick Stitch as well as increase and decrease. It's suitable for beginners and more experienced beaders as the project pages start with smaller simple designs and then build to more complex pieces. If you're a more experienced beader, there's always the option to jump ahead, straight into the project patterns.
The designs
Steph had an incredibly hard time trying to narrow down the designs, the short list was probably as long again. However we settled on 20 with some additional variations of a few designs. Including more than you see in the image above. We have Robins, a present, mini Baubles and two sizes of Christmas pudding (there's always a greedy person at the dinner table). There's also a candle, festive chocolate, sweets, a Christmas tree and a Bah Humbug tag. As well as all the designs you can see made up in the photos.
The designs are perfect for jewellery making, with ideas for earrings and pendants. They’re also ideal for creating stitch markers, keyrings and decorations. Which means there are plenty of options to make yourself something fun for the festive season as well as ticking some handmade gifts off the Christmas list. The kit includes 22g of Delicas in suitable festive shades as well as some of our own Christmas mixes. We’re also added a selection of findings and Satin cord to help your turn your beadwork into finished creations. There's enough materials to make approximately 30 items, depending which designs and colours you choose.
There's lots of design ideas and tips throughout the instructions as well as a link to additional, helpful resources.
You will need use of chain nose pliers to assemble the jewellery, these are not included in the kit, but they are available separately.
You may also find a bead mat, bead stopper and scissors useful whilst creating these designs.
