Needlework is a hobby that brings not only pleasure, but also benefit. Bead embroidery is one of the most simple, relaxing and beautiful ways to create handmade masterpieces.
You don't have to learn skills - everything is simple and intuitive. It is enough to collect a basic set of crafts and start creating your first picture. What will be required for this? We tell in this article.
A list of what is necessary for bead embroidery
Beads have long been loved by needlewomen for the ease of working with them. Unlike sewing with threads, there is practically no danger of "going astray" and spoiling the entire pattern with one wrong stitch. And a change of color does not require a change of thread. Bead embroidery is true relaxation. Measured and careful stringing of beads helps to leave the burdens of the day and plunge into the pleasant process of creativity.
You don't have to spend a lot to create your first work. You will need:
- blank canvas;
- a thread;
- beads;
- needle;
- container for beads.
That's all. With such a minimal set, you will create beauty that will decorate your home or serve as a great gift.
Schemes for embroidery with beads convenient for beginners - the drawing is applied directly to the canvas, the craftswoman only needs to sew beads of the desired color to the marked place. Even for the first experiment, you can take a large picture with a multi-colored pattern - the beads are strung on the needle one at a time, there is no need to change the thread.
The main thing to do is to carefully lay out all the colors of the beads. The necessary containers can be purchased in specialized stores. They will be needed to have all the colors at hand at once, if they often change in one row.
Do not skimp on threads - a high-quality spool will be enough for more than one picture, and you will not have to suffer, correcting the consequences of breaks right during work. Low-quality copies are dangerous precisely because of this - if the tear happens simply during the embroidering of a row, it will not be easy to eliminate the consequences.
Do not neglect special needles for embroidery with beads. They differ from ordinary ones in their special delicacy and flexibility - it will be much more difficult to work with a simple sewing machine. An ordinary needle will not pass through every bead - in some manufacturers, the "eye" of the bead is already very thin.
Of course, when purchasing a blank scheme and a glass floor, trust trusted manufacturers. It will be difficult to choose the colors of the beads for the picture yourself, so it is better to find a store where a consultant can assemble a set when ordering. For example, such a service is available at igolochka.com.ua.
A few more nuances
Even if you have assembled a basic set for embroidery, do not rush to pick up a needle. First, check whether the workplace is sufficiently well lit.
Working with beads is interesting, but painstaking work. Keep in mind that if you choose the wrong place, you risk developing vision and back problems. Be sure to get yourself a bright lamp if you don't already have one, and find an armchair/chair that you can sit on straight.
