Create adorable animal accessories using bullion stitch—a coiled embroidery stitch made by wrapping thread around the needle—and beads. The raised texture of bullion stitches gives each design a beautiful three-dimensional look. Worked on sheer organza fabric, the finished motifs become sturdy enough to turn into brooches, necklaces, earrings, rings, and other charming accessories.

The projects use standard No. 25 embroidery floss, one of the most widely available embroidery threads, making it easy for beginners to get started with readily available materials.

This collection features a delightful variety of animals, including pandas, squirrels, rabbits, owls, butterflies, crocodiles, penguins, cats, dogs, and many more.

"Start with one of the smaller projects and practice wrapping the thread around the needle. Bullion stitch may seem unusual at first, but once you pull the needle through and create a neat, tunnel-like stitch, you'll find it hard to stop stitching." — From the Preface
