Technique of embroidery by beads

Embroidery of paintings and ornaments can provide for either full beadwork or partial embroidery. There are special sets for embroidery with beads, which can be purchased at specialized handicraft shops or through online stores. Having everything you need for embroidery( beads, fabric, thin needle, thin thread or fishing line), it is necessary to choose a method of sewing this or that technique of embroidery with beads.

Basics of the technique are as follows:

• Securing single beads( sew a bead to the fabric with a simple stitch).
• Fastening beads with smaller beads( sew a small bead with a simple stitch, creating a larger volume effect).
• Seam "needle forward" - the beads are sewn with stitches, removing the needle all the time to the front side of the fabric, the thread fixing stitches are placed from the wrong side.
• String seam - beads are sewn by surrounding each bead with a thread, fix the fasteners from the wrong side, pulling the needle into the next bead. To give the embroidered section the effect of roughness, it is necessary to return the needle with the thread through the entire fragment of the embroidered line, passing through all the beads, and fix it from the wrong side.
• Seam fastener - the beads in the right amount of thread on the thread, and after, evenly sewn to the fabric, dividing each bead.
• Stitch "Monastic" - each bead is fastened with a simple stitch, only diagonally. The method visually resembles a glass bead or embroidery by a cross. Most often such a seam decorate beaded icons.
• Sewing seam - by performing a simple suture seam, you need to attach a bead to each upper loop.

In the beginning of work it is necessary to fasten in the center of the future bracelet a crystal of the Rivoli, after that it is necessary to sew it first with beads of milk color, bicones andagain with milk beads.

Next, select the resulting embroidered zone beads of dark golden color. We plan the location of our three pearls and sew them. We are guided by the photo material attached to the article.

We sew around the sewn pearls with a dark Czech cabin and beads. Sew on two more pearls on each side, as indicated in the picture and cover them first with a milky color, after Czech felling and at the end with gold color.

At a distance of about one centimeter on each side of the already created central fragment, it is necessary to sew on the bead of jasper and sewn with beads in this order: milk color, brown felling, gold color.

Finally, at the ends of the bracelet, one oval bead is sewn, and the skin is covered in two rows with a dark brown chopping board, and next is a gold bead.

Next, we complement the two sides of the central oval bead on a small pearl and select them with beads. That is, from the central fragment of the crystal of the Rivoli it is necessary to decorate the two sides of the bracelet identically, proportionally to one another, based on the hints on the pictures.

At the end of the process, you need to glue the embroidery to a special metal base for the bracelet. We finish the work by gluing the natural leather and adjusting the edges, covering it with beads of rainbow color with an overlapping seam.

We fill the upper part of the wing with beads and beads at our own request or as shown in the picture( brown and raspberry beads, plus beads bicones orange, blue and iridescent).And the bottom part is also filled with beads of brown and crimson flowers.
