Materials List for Leigh Designs' Northern Lights Santa LD-8332-Russian Santa Series

Since I am working this as I post about it,  I do not have a complete list of materials that will be needed to stitch Leigh Deigns' Northern Light Santa LD-8332 exactly the same way.  (I am encouraging you to shop your stash and substitute things you like better.)  I am going to start a list and add to it as I work.  Unless I say otherwise, you will only need one skein/tube/card/etc. of each item.

DMC:

DMC cotton floss #803 to match the Ultrasuede

DMC Color Infusions Memory Thread #6100 Navy to match the Ultrasuede

Beads, Crystals and Sequins from various Manufacturers:

Mikuki size 15/0 Gunmetal round beads #15-9451 (I used four beads)

Sundance size 14/0 Delica beads $377E (I used three beads) Substitute any very small size 14 or 15 beads in two shades of blue-gray using the lighter three beads on the left side and the darker four on the right side of the staff's top.  If you use regular sequins instead of the crystal sequins, you can use larger beads.

Miyuki crystal AB beads size 15/0 (these are clear beads with an iridescent sheen) - 8 grams are more than enough as I used about half a 14 gram tube

Two of The Collection's Silver Square #BSQ sequins, but you can substitute any 4-6 mm sequins you prefer.
