Wonderland Crafts Wooden Bead Embroidery Kit FLK-450 – Christmas Ornament – Lantern With Bird

Wonderland Crafts FLK-450 Lantern With Bird is a bead embroidery Christmas ornament kit on a perforated plywood base shaped like a vintage hanging lantern — Preciosa glass seed beads are stitched directly onto the wood through pre-drilled holes, with no fabric or hoop needed. A bright red cardinal perches on a snow-dusted branch inside the lantern's beaded glass pane, set against a soft grey winter sky and topped with a gold-and-bronze beaded roof. A carved wooden tassel charm hangs below the lantern body on a cord with a decorative bead, adding a finished look once the embroidery is complete. With 12 colors and 1,002 beads, this is a moderately detailed project, best suited for patient beginners or experienced beaders.

Finished size: 3.15″ × 4.92″ (8 × 12.5 cm)

What's in the Kit

– Two-piece figured perforated plywood blank — lantern-shaped body with hanging hole and beaded roof panel, plus a separate wooden tassel charm
– Preciosa glass seed beads, 12 colors (1,002 beads total, pre-counted)
– Beading thread and embroidery needle
– Cord and metal bead for attaching the wooden tassel charm
– Felt or foam backing for finishing the reverse side
– Printed color chart + downloadable PDF chart
– Step-by-step instructions in Ukrainian and English

Brand new, factory-sealed. Glue is not included; the bundled cord is sized for attaching the tassel charm, so you may want extra cord or ribbon if you'd also like to hang the ornament from the top hole.

Project Notes

Work through the pre-drilled holes one bead at a time following the printed chart, then glue the felt or foam backing to the reverse side and thread the included cord and bead through the tassel charm to attach it below the lantern. The cardinal is one of the most recognizable winter birds, making this ornament an easy favorite on the Christmas tree, a front door wreath, or a windowsill display. It's a popular handmade gift for birdwatchers, cardinal lovers, or anyone who treasures a touch of red in their holiday décor.
