Description

The illustration shows the bead design stitched in gold and green thread with gold, blue, and green beads on a hammered white greetings card.

This product is a PDF file for you to download and print the instructions for hand-stitching the design. If PDF reader software is configured with your web browser, the pattern should open automatically, unless you have set it to save PDF files to your download folder.

For information about buying cards, thread, and beads see the tutorials section.

The design comes with a numbered diagram, a pricking pattern, and step-by-step instructions for hand-stitching your greetings cards.

The pattern size is 152 x 104 mm (6 x 4 inches). Tip: when printing the pattern set your printer to "Actual size", "Default", or "100%", depending on the software. Do not select "Fit to page" or "Shrink oversize pages" as this will result in the pricking pattern being a different size from the one intended.

For more download and printing information see our download help pages.
