Christmas Dove Banner Kit

This Christmas Dove banner kit is a great way for beginners to embroider their own festive wall hanging.

The DIY kit comes with everything you need to learn hand embroidery, while making a unique, paisley inspired festive decoration.  The dove design uses ten different embroidery stitches, and the guide included has practical instructions and photos to  teach you all the new techniques - making it easy to get started!

The kit includes:

* embroidery hoop
* magnetic banner ends (8 inches/20cm across)
* DMC embroidery threads
* cotton fabric
* Pattern printed on water soluble adhesive paper
* needle
* Christmas dove pattern key
* comprehensive instructions for each stage of the project
* stitch guide booklet, giving helpful instructions and tips on all the stitches this project needs

    1. Our kits are as eco-friendly as possible, with organic & ethically sourced fabric, FSC wooden hoops made in the UK, FSC and or recycled paper/card, and recycled postal mailers.

    2. All Paraffle kits are handmade in Scotland, in our Edinburgh studio - buying from us means supporting a small, female founded business.

    3. All of our kits - from super simple to intermediate - include a detailed booklet, with lots of photos to teach you each stitch. If videos are more your style, there’s video tutorials covering every stitch you’ll need in our ‘Stitches’ blog.

    4. The kit includes a high quality reference photo of the finished design, and an easy to follow key showing you which stitches and colours to use.

    5. Each kit includes a quality 8 inch wooden hoop and plenty of DMC thread (so don’t worry if you make a mistake or want to practice first!).

    6. Our kits come with a pre-printed pattern to stick onto your fabric. It’s water-soluble, so you simply stitch over it, then wash it away (don’t worry, the threads are coloursafe!). Our patterns aren’t printed directly onto the fabric - we’ve done our research, and haven’t found any fabric printers that can tell us exactly where their fabric comes from and how it’s made. That’s important to us - so we found another way!

    7. Embroidery is a helpful tool for encouraging mindfulness and giving you some extra head space. Our kits aim to gently teach you lifelong skills and get your creative juices flowing (even if you’re not a ‘crafty’ person!).

    8. We’re a carbon neutral business, and donate at least 10% of our profits to charity through dedicated charity designs.
