Embroidery process

Before embroidering beads for beginners, there are a couple of practical tips.

Spread the beads on the sachets and number them. Do the same with the canvas, carefully put the numbers on it. This will greatly facilitate your work, especially if the picture has many shades.

Prepare a piece of fleecy cloth or cotton wool and pour out the beads on it. So it will be more convenient for you to cling to beads.

Decide on the technique of the seam. Of the three main - lowercase, arched, monastic - the last most uncomplicated. Begin with the lower left corner, then string the bead and stitch it into the upper right corner.

You need to embroider line by line, from top to bottom and from left to right, and not chaotically for a specific color. So embroidery with beaded pictures with their own hands will look neater and more beautiful.

When the work with the needle is finished, your product must be washed in warm water, let dry and iron from the wrong side. After everything is ready, it's time to put our fish in a baguette or frame.

Hike in the baguette shop - a pleasure quite expensive. You can try to make a frame yourself or purchase a frame for a photo. The usual frame differs from the special for embroidery by the absence of the second bottom. It is to him that the work is attached, as on a stretcher.

It is worth noting that a picture that combines embroidery with beads and thread( or mulina) will be very interesting and original. The effect is a three-dimensional, three-dimensional image.
