We embroider pictures with beads:Master class for beginners The most important thing in this matter is the choice of embroidery pattern. It is equally important that your workplace is properly and comfortably equipped. Here it is worth paying special attention to high-quality lighting, which will also contribute to a high level of the work process. So, we will need: a lamp; embroidery patterns; nylon thread; canvas (Aida 14); a ruler; a needle for working with beads; scissors; a coffee spoon; a multi-colored container for beads; beads of the desired colors (number 10,11).To make it convenient, you should send it in a light colorwork surface with a cloth. This will greatly simplify the process of collecting beads if you accidentally spill them. Selecting shades of beads to create paintings. The best option would be to pour a small amount of beads into a container with compartments and see how harmoniously the desired colors combine. Having acquired at least a little experience in working with beads, it will not be difficult for you to select the necessary and compatible colors of beads for the future painting.Some needlewomen make small ones on the tablepiles of beads and thus make a selection. We chose a standard rectangular painting palette used to dilute paints with water. Such a container is quite inexpensive, and you can buy it in the office supply department. You will definitely feel the benefit from it during the work. If you have chosen a small-sized picture that you will create on a hoop, then it will be much more convenient if the beads are located on the canvas. In case of working with more than 3 colors of beads, then you need to use lids for better storage of beads. You can buy them in specialized stores. One container can hold twenty-five grams of beads.I don't advise you to put more in one lid,than three colors of beads. Having completed the work on the embroidery of the picture, you will have to take apart the beads for a long time, sorting them into color sections. So, our main workplace is prepared for work. We have chosen the pattern for embroidery. Now we proceed to the embroidery process itself. First, we stretch the base on the hoop. Having thought out the scale of the future product in advance, we measure with a ruler the place from which we will begin to create the picture. The embroidery pattern should be directly in front of you. In the process of embroidery, it is necessary to work with a ruler, which will help you embroider without getting lost.Once you have completed the embroidery of a row, you need to move the rulerfurther (lower or higher, depending on where you started embroidering). This is how we work. If you have chosen a large pattern for work, then it is better for you to use a transparent ruler so that the subsequent rows for embroidery are clearly visible. If the chosen pattern is small, then you can take any ruler. The main thing is that it is convenient for you to work with it. The side from which you start knitting is not so important. Be it the bottom or the top. It is necessary that you do not experience any inconvenience. However, it is important to pay attention to the fact that in further work you will need to adhere to this direction, chosen by you at the beginning, until the end of the embroidery process. We suggest that you start embroidering from the bottom. But it is a matter of convenience. There are different ways of bead embroidery:using the stitch "Forward needle", "stem" or line stitch, as well as other types of stitches. The key method of working on a picture using beads is to attach the beads to the canvas with "half-cross" stitches, in which all the beads match the cross on the proposed pattern.This diagram demonstrates the embroidery method on the left.to the right. In the presented photos of bead embroidery, we worked in the same way, but from the right side to the left (that is, the embroidery process began from the bottom on the right side). Each bead in the process of embroidery should have an equal slope and fit evenly to the fabric. However, this is in the ideal version. And in practice, it is very difficult to achieve this. The reason for this is the non-ideality in terms of evenness of the beads themselves. Beads with a silver line on the inside are very different in size. Even if size No. 10 is written on the pack, this type of beads will still be larger than standard beads of the same size. Therefore, when using this type of beads, we select the next particle with a smaller diameter.We recommend the 1st and final beads in a rowsecure with the 2nd stitch. However, if you plan to further frame the painting under glass, then this step is not at all necessary, because your product after this type of design will not be subject to unraveling or thread breakage. Also pay attention to the length of the thread. If it is too long, then during the work it can get tangled and create unnecessary knots. As soon as you start attaching the first pieces, you need to secure the thread on the back side. The same should be done in the future, periodically changing the thread. Such actions will ensure the beauty of the back side of the product and prevent further unraveling of the threads during the embroidery itself. Some needlewomen treat the thread with wax. However, using a nylon thread, you will not need such treatment.And further.Remember: it is better to embroider only in a good mood. And even if you are sad, this activity can improve your mood. Having completed work on the picture, you will choose an elegant frame for it. You can ask for help from a specialized workshop or do it yourself. You can read about this in other articles.We hope that our simple tips will help you in the process of bead embroidery of your first picture!
