Intro to Bead Embroidery Components Pattern

Category:

Jewelry

Type:

Other

Skill Level:

Intermediate

Basic Skills Necessary:

It's helpful if you know the peyote beading stitch, but if not, I have a quick tutorial in the appendix.

Pattern Description:

I am so inspired by the beautiful work done in bead embroidery! However, if you're an "instant gratification" beader (like me), you don't have the patience for a large ornate piece. But you will have the time for making jewelry from bead embroidery components! They are fast and easy, and only look complicated.

You'll also learn about fringework, in the "Fringe 101" section of the e-book. What was it someone once said..."too much fringe is almost enough"? I love that thought, so wanted to give you some ideas for fringes.

Sizing / Finished Measurements:

These components are totally flexible in size, depending on the component design and size of the cabochon.

Materials:

Cabochons, seed beads, bead embroidery foundation, Ultrasuede, cyrstal beads

You Will Also Need:

Needle, thread, scissors, adhesive.
