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.

Things you need to know

• The fabric is cotton calico. 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.
