You can do it - glue on cabs and design is done with add three seed beads and go back thru 2 to secure basic running stitch is used. The only part that requires alittle experience is peyote stitch around the cabs and you don't have to do that. Bead Embroidery is so easy and so great when done...

So many people are asking for the instructions. I've made 10 of these, and never thought about the pattern except for where to put the cabochons. After gluing those on, the design just created itself. That's the beauty of bead embroidery. I guess the most important instruction I could give is to not make the design too small -- it has to cover the metal cuff with a bit to spare. Also, you don't have to use Lacy's Stiff Stuff. Just use ordinary interfacing -- it comes in several degrees of stiffness.

I totally agree about the Lacy's - and if you want to use your beaded piece sewn onto something else, you might then want a lighter type of interfacing to start with.

It is really easy. Glue on cabachons on lacy's stiff stuff or other interfacing cut to fit brass cuff. select beads and make the design. Then glue faux suede on the back and stitch pieces togehter with a border edge add picot and you are done...

The cabs are glued on then the beads are sewn on. I start around the cabs and work out my design from there.
AndreaNYC on craftsy.com
Apr 16, 2012   Flag as inappropriate
The large cabachons are first glued in place. Usually they are then bound up with a peyote stitch around them, to give them a finished look. The seed beads are then sewn on.

Fantastic, rich and royal look to it! I love it!! Do you sell your pieces? If so, where? If Fire Mountain Gems did not award you for it, all of these comments should tell you it was well-deserved to win! They must get thousands of entries! I vote yours!

Bead Embroidery all the gold and green seed beads and the malachite is glued on with E-6000 then peyote stitched around the base beads to capture the stones. I used gold tones and green size 11 seed beads for the stitching on the base and some 15s to finish off the bezel around the malachite. The design just grew out of the seed bead embroidery.

Hope that helps. I did not develop a written plan when creating the cuff. I sure will next time.

regardless ic jobof what the FMG judges opinions were, you did a fantastic job and just keep creating more and new patterns to enter...eventually, perhaps, they will realize you are a serious handcrafted jewelry ARTISAN and you will win that GRAND prize...more power to you and keep up the good work, girl!!!

You could, that's the wonder of bead embroidery. Only 2 stitches-backstitch for the majority of the cuff and peyote stitch around the cabochons. Just deciding what beads to use is the only real challenge and fun, of course.
