Kolorova D-11 Spring Hen is an Easter bead embroidery kit on a perforated plywood base that produces a hanging hen ornament with a dangling wooden-bead pendant. You stitch Preciosa glass seed beads directly onto a shaped wooden blank through pre-drilled holes, then finish the reverse with a felt backing and attach the pendant below. The design fills a plump hen silhouette with green leaves, pink blossoms, and white accents on a light background, worked in 9 colors of size 10/0 Preciosa beads. No fabric, no hoop — the rigid plywood base holds its shape throughout, making this a beginner-friendly Easter bead embroidery project.
Finished size: 3.15″ × 3.15″ (8 × 8 cm), not including pendant

Project Notes
Work the beads across the plywood front following the numbered color chart, then glue the felt backing to the reverse for a clean finish. Thread the cord through the top hole for hanging and tie the wooden beads below to complete the pendant. The hen is a timeless Easter symbol, and the spring floral palette in green and pink keeps the design fresh and modern. Hang it on an Easter tree, willow branch arrangement, garland, or window — it also looks great paired with the matching D-10 Easter Pysanka for a hen-and-egg display. A compact project that works up quickly, and a thoughtful handmade Easter gift for anyone who enjoys folk-style or farmhouse decorations. Part of the Kolorova Easter series — also available: D-07 Spring Bird, D-09 Flower Goose, D-10 Easter Pysanka, and D-12 Warm Lamb.
