Hot air balloons embroidery kit

Regular price $30.00 $0.00 Unit price per
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

In this hot air balloons embroidery kit, you'll be stitching eight balloons in rich ruby red, orange and gold colours drifting against an atmospheric grey sky. Each balloon uses different stitches and colour combinations so each one is an embroidery in its own right. 

The design makes it easy to swap stitches and colours if you're looking for a more advanced embroidery kit and you're feeling adventurous. It's perfect for people (like me!) who have lots of crafty projects on the go at the same time - you can do one balloon at a time and then come back later to do more.

This kit is intermediate level - the stitches are not difficult but it helps to have done embroidery before. 

Embroidery gift set – exclusive offer

The perfect gift for embroidery lovers, the gift set includes a:

  • Hot air balloons embroidery kit
  • Square white embroidery display frame plus

Hot air balloons embroidery kit contents

The embroidery kit comes in a pretty box which includes everything you need to make my design:

  • 100% cotton fabric with the hot air balloons embroidery design printed onto it in colour. The fabric measures 30x30cm (12x12 inches) including borders.
  • DMC embroidery thread, 4 colours, full skeins so you won’t run out of thread
  • 2 x John James needles with long eyes for easy threading and sharp tips for easy stitching
  • A metal needle threader so you’ll never struggle to thread a needle again
  • Wooden embroidery hoop measuring 15 cm (6 inches)
  • Clear and easy to follow stitch instructions (English only) with diagrams
  • Illustrated general instructions (in English)

Embroidery display frame

In addition, I sell frames which will set off your embroidery perfectly. My frames, picture mounts and mounting card are guaranteed to fit and come with easy-to-follow instructions.

Hot air balloons embroidery pattern

If you've already got hoops, needles and thread or you want to choose your own colours, patterns are a great money-saving option.  So if you don't need the full hot air balloons embroidery kit, you can get the same design just a pattern pre-printed onto fabric, plus instructions.  

Size

The finished hot air balloons embroidery measures 25x25cm (10x10 inches). It is designed to fit into a square frame 30x30cm (12x12 inches) with a display area measuring 20x20cm (8x8 inches), sometimes called the aperture.

Things you need to know

  • The fabric is cotton calico which is slightly off-white. It may have slight imperfections which are just a natural part of the fabric.
  • Colours may look different on screen and in print to how they are in real life.
  • Eco-friendly packaging. My embroidery kits come in a cardboard postal box. I don’t use any packaging inside the box, apart from a biodegradable bag for the needles and needle threader. I post my kits in mailing bags which you can recycle. 
  • My hot air balloons design is copyright and is only for your personal use. So you cannot resell the design or any embroideries made from it.
