Technique: Attaching seed beads

Attaching seed beads

Adding beads to your work can really make the project stand out. It is a simple process but can take a little time.

1) Take a good-quality beading needle and thread with the required length of sewing cotton or one
strand of embroidery thread. Make a small knot at the end and thread through at the required position on your project. Try to hide the knot as much as possible.

2) After pulling the thread completely through, thread a bead onto the needle.

3) Now push the needle back through the item, leaving a small gap from the entrance position.

4) Push the needle back through the item to the required position and continue. If you want your bead to be extra secure, push back through the bead for a second time.
