Hand embroidery kit to make a goldwork and beaded mittens Christmas decoration. This kit is an original design by embroidery artist Hannah Mansfield /The Perpetual Maker. This kit includes full instructions and all the materials needed to create the decoration. The instructions cover two options for transferring the design to the fabric, the prick and pounce and the tacking transfer method as well as goldwork and beading techniques.The goldwork techniques covered in this kit include, applying padding, using pearl purl wire to create outlines and cutwork with purl wires. You will also learn how to make the embroidery into a neatly finished decoration. The instructions are presented in a spiral bound booklet which allows the open booklet to lie flat whilst you are embroidering.


You can choose from two colour ways for this kit, the gold colour way or the silver colour way. Please select the colour way you would like to order from the drop down menu.
