Bead Embroidery Kit Icon Virgin Mary Mother of God DIY Nova Sloboda

In this icon, only the frame in the form of a kyot is embroidered, while the face itself remains unembroidered. This design technique allows for the creation of a rare type of needlework kit — "full-length" icons, where saints are depicted standing in full height or seated on a throne.

The kit’s base — an image with an embroidered frame — is made from a special material: a polymer canvas with a metallized coating. The embroidery pattern is perforated directly onto the material, providing ease and comfort during the work process. The metallized coating creates an effect similar to traditional church icons — faces and garments shimmer and seem to glow.

The company has developed two display options for the finished icon: it can be placed horizontally, on a table or shelf; or vertically, mounted on a wall, door, or any other vertical surface. Some icons can also be hung above doorways.
