After many years of oblivion, bead embroidery is nowhas become popular again. In the past, it was used to decorate shoes, dresses and other items. Modern craftswomen are afraid of the complexity and labor intensity of this work. However, if you delve into the essence of this issue, then, having enough perseverance and diligence, you can acquire the necessary experience very quickly. At the beginning of the work, you need to know what is needed for the work and how to create the first stitches.The embroidery tools are similar to thoseare necessary when working with standard threads. Canvas. For working with beads, use fabric - canvas. It has an uneven weave of threads and this makes the embroidery process easier. There is no need to be afraid of damaging the canvas or tearing out the thread, it is much easier to count stitches with canvas. When working with any thing or canvas, the base can be used as an additional fabric, placing cotton or linen material under it. After you finish the work, the canvas must be removed, carefully removing the threads. Hoop.This tool for working with beads can have any shape and size. A special condition is that the craftswoman has the ability to be sure of the tightness of the tension of the base in the frame. Needles. Having small holes in the beads, special needles are needed. They have a minimum thickness and an eye that does not expand the thickness of the needle itself. You can easily find needles for working with beads in handicraft shops, where beads are also sold.Threads for embroidery.Considering the significant weight of the product and how the picture will look, and how long it will have its original appearance, which, in turn, depends on all the stitches, we select very thin but strong threads. Currently, these are cotton and linen threads, with the addition of lavsan and nylon elements, No. 33 and No. 50. In the work, it is better to use threads folded in half, and the shade of the threads should match the color of the canvas. In the process of embroidery, an important role is played by the convenience of the workplace, good lighting and the availability of the necessary inventory: a ruler, scissors, a marker and a magnifying glass. Regarding the main hero of needlework - beads, we will talk about it in more detail. Among the types of beads found in stores today, the smallest is 18/0. Beads similar to glass poppy seeds were used by needlewomen in the past. Currently, larger beads are used. Determining the bead number is not difficult. The number that comes first indicates how many beads can be placed on a thread that is 1 inch (or 2.5 centimeters) long. With the variety of shades and effects that beaded items create, it is difficult to put in the same row the ones embroidered with ordinary threads.Embroidery pattern.The quality of the embroidery depends on the choice of the pattern, primarily for beginners. Assessing your strengths, we purchase a set designed for 5-10 colors. Determining the size of the picture will not be difficult. On the pattern, all the elements of the beads have only one designation. The set should include beads, detailed instructions and canvas. The insert has a description of the most difficult places to perform, offers recommendations on the selection of working inventory and how best to complete the work.Experienced craftswomen independently select not only beads, but also a pattern. In this case, the scheme calculation will be made according to the sketch.
