This bead embroidery kit lets you create a Summer Wings needle case, with deep red and cobalt blue motifs and little sky-blue and yellow flowers on a cream ground, finished with striped borders. You stitch seed beads through a pre-perforated wooden lid, so there's no fabric or hoop to manage, and the finished case gives you a pretty place to keep your needles and pins.

A magnetic strip inside the case holds needles securely, so they stay put between projects. It's a satisfying small project for beaders and stitchers alike, and it makes a thoughtful handmade gift for anyone who sews, stitches, or makes jewelry.

Kit includes:

• Wooden needle case with magnetic needle holder
• Pre-perforated wooden lid for bead embroidery
• Preciosa seed beads
• Beading thread and two bead embroidery needles
• Needle and thread for stitching the finishing details
• Printed color chart showing bead colors and quantities
• Bead embroidery instructions

The finished needle case measures 2.4" x 3.5" (6 x 9 cm). It's made from plywood, so the wood grain and color will vary slightly from piece to piece.
