This beautiful Heron is now a download for the world to enjoy. It is 16 rows with the same image on the front as it is on the back.

You will receive a word chart to create this star but please note there are no instructions included on creating the star if you have never made a star before. Those instructions are included in the Mini Star which you will also find on this page for purchase under Mini Star.

The sample shown was created with 6lb Fireline and a size 10 beading needle. Experiments were not done with other thread and/or needles but we assume if you are comfortable with other products that substitutions can be made.

There are six different colors used in this star. You will find the exact colors that we used once you make your purchase. They are found on the color chart. Bead Soup always used Miyuki Beads and cannot guarantee the outcome of your project if you decide to use beads other than what we used.

We love our blue crabs here in Maryland and this beautiful bead embroidered crab has a layered depth to gives you dimension to your pendant.

Knowledge of basic bead embroidery is very helpful for this project since there are multiple layers and dimension. You will receive step-by-step instructions and diagrams with a template that you will need to cut out for your crab so a printer is necessary.

We’re Dreaming of Cooler weather and our pen wrap shows it.

Our pen wraps are always even count peyote so they are quick and easy and work up quickly but please remember that you must have knowledge of even count peyote because this purchase is for a word and color chart only. This will not give you step by step instructions on how to construct your strip and zip it to your pen.

Included are a printed word and color chart which lists the ten different size 11/0 Delicas that we used to create this pen wrap.

This kit also includes enough size 11/0 Delicas to create one pen wrap and one black refillable G-2 ink pen. The sample was created with 6lb Fireline and a size 10 beading needle. The thread and needle are not included in the kit. but can be found on our Fun Things page if you don’t currently have it in your stash. We did not experiment with different threads and/or needles but we do believe substitutions can be made..

As always this is a kit and there are no finished products included in this purchase
