Embroidery Kit with Hoop - Pre-Printed Beaded Mandala

A mandala is built from the centre outwards, with each ring adding another layer of pattern, and that’s what makes this such a satisfying thing to stitch. Bright, colourful details build up as you work, and the seed beads add a raised, textured finish that catches the light. When it’s done, it’s already framed in its hoop, so it’s ready to hang, prop on a shelf or give away.

What’s in the kit

• Bamboo hoop: 15cm, which becomes the frame for the finished piece
• Cotton fabric: 25 x 25cm, with the mandala pre-printed on it
• Embroidery threads: pre-sorted, 6-strand polyester threads in the colours you need
• Seed beads: for the beadwork details
• Embroidery needle: ready to thread
• Felt backing: for a clean, neat finish on the back of the hoop
• Instructions: in English, French and German

Everything’s included, so you don’t need to buy anything else to get started.

A printed pattern to follow

The design is printed straight onto the fabric, so you can see where every stitch goes. That takes away the tracing and the guesswork, which is especially useful for a symmetrical design like a mandala, where accuracy matters.

Stitches and beads

You’ll use a range of popular embroidery stitches to build up the layers, with step-by-step written instructions. The seed beads are stitched on as you go, adding a different texture to the thread.

Ready to display or give

The finished piece sits in the hoop with a neat felt backing, so there’s no framing to arrange. At 15cm across, it’s a good size for a wall, a desk or a shelf, and a thoughtful gift for a friend who loves colour and pattern.

Tips before you start

• Read the instructions through, and look at the stitch guide before you begin
• Keep your fabric taut in the hoop, and check it as you stitch, because it can loosen
• Work with a short length of thread, so it doesn’t tangle or fray
• Keep the beads in a small dish so they don’t roll away, and use a spare thread for the beadwork
• Keep your knots small, so the back looks tidy under the felt
