Ed059 Purple MandalaCompleted by Donna Ritchie

I love making Emy's stitched designs - they have clear to follow illustrations and look fantastic when finished.

I reduced the size of the design slightly so I have fewer beads in the centre. I was making my Christmas cards when I bought this design so it just ended up in Christmas colours. I used green bugle and seed beads with white DMC embroidery thread for the centre of the design. I completed the design using green variegated DMC embroidery thread, opaque white bugle beads and silver seed beads.

I would suggest that you stitch the very centre circle before adding the beads but, otherwise, the design is quick and simple to make for an amazing gift.
