Create a little coastal world, stitched with care.

Bring Alaska-inspired colours and wildlife to your craft table with the Quesbo Alaska Aurora Seal Pendant Craft Guide. A cream seal with embroidered spots and whiskers rests beside a softly padded teal centre, balanced by a delicate spray of purple flowers, green leaves and tiny buds.

Frost-like embroidery and a geometric navy border frame the scene. Three handmade charms—a snowflake, a geometric medallion and a salmon—hang below on carefully sewn ribbon connectors.

Enjoy building each detail separately, from the seal’s expressive face to the flowers’ stitched centres, before assembling a decorative keepsake to display or give as a thoughtful handmade gift.
