Thank you for your understanding. **《About the Craft》** When the Christmas season arrives, you can see holly wreaths everywhere. I wanted to create a brooch that captures the spirit of Christmas, which led to this holly design. Embroidery thread consists of six fine strands bundled together, from which I extract the necessary number of strands for my work. The number of strands used allows me to adjust the size and thickness of the piece. I went through much trial and error to crochet the distinctively jagged leaves of the holly. To capture the delicacy of the leaves, I used a single extracted strand to hand-crochet each one, weaving a wire into the center to give them structure. The berries are made one by one by wrapping a deep red embroidery thread around 6mm wooden beads. I hope you enjoy the vibrant, lustrous red of the thread. __As these are entirely hand-crocheted, each piece is unique with slight variations, much like real flowers, rather than being identical to the photographs.__ __I hope you appreciate the unique character of the piece you receive.__ __Please feel free to wear these seasonal pieces and enjoy the warmth and texture that only hand-crocheted items can offer.__ **《Size》** Width: approx. 2.5–3.0 cm Height: approx. 3.0 cm **《Materials》** ・Embroidery thread ・Wooden beads ・Wire ・Brooch pin (2.0 cm) ・Adhesive ・Waterproof hardener **《Care Instructions & Notes》** ・The brooch has been treated to prevent loss of shape and to provide water resistance.
