Oh, I love this little stitchery because it’s a functional little planter or catch all box to use when you are done. The kit includes the planter box, thread and instructions. The finished product is approx. 6 x 6 inches before adding whatever type of handle you choose. We went out and grabbed a piece of grapevine, bent it for the handle and stitched it in. The needle is not included, we want you to use the needle that is comfortable for you and will hold six strands.
