Bee Embroidery Kit

The bee embroidery kit frequently tops my bestseller list, and combines some of my favourite things here at Kirsty Freeman Design: bees, embroidery, florals and of course, the colour yellow.

Explore my range of creative DIY kits!

My bee embroidery kit would make a wonderful gift for a creative friend, or is a lovely project to help you to spend some time relaxing and putting your feet up. Whether you are looking for a creative DIY kit for an avid embroiderer or a complete novice, I hope you love this little kit. 

All of the materials that you need are included - you only need to provide a pair of scissors. I pre-print the design onto the fabric, so you don’t need to trace the pattern, but can get stuck straight into the embroidery. Behind your fabric, you will also receive a piece of backer - this is to add stability, and make sure that from the front, you cannot see any trailing threads on the back of your work. You will receive detailed instructions which are printed in a booklet - these include written directions, my top tips, illustrated diagrams and photographs, which help you through every step, alongside our video tutorials. Wherever possible, I have used UK suppliers to help provide the materials that I use to make your bee embroidery kit - this includes the embroidery needle, made by John James, the hardwood embroidery hoop, made by Elbesee and the crewel wool, made by Appletons. To finish off the kit, I also include a selection of orange and black seed beads, along with a bobbin of thin thread and beading needle for attaching them.

I just want you to have the opportunity to fall in love with embroidery the way I have. Whether you struggle with your mental health and want to spend more time focusing on creative activities, or loved being artistic as a child and are looking for a creative outlet, I hope that this kit helps you to enjoy creating your own little bee design.

The contents of the kit you will receive are:

• 2x Needles (1x John James embroidery needle, 1x beading needle)
• Full Instructions (A5 size booklet)
