Description and Techniques

If you have always wanted an embroidered casket but are not sure of taking on such an enormous project, this kit was designed to allow people to make a sweet little trinket box, modeled off smaller boxes of the 17th century. The project is worked in tent stitch over one on a 20-count linen. The box can fit a number of small needlework accessories like scissors and needles. The edgings for these kits are now silver.
