Bead embroidery is a great way to use tiny beads to make a big statement in your jewelry pieces. Cynthia created this look by outlining the flower design in her chosen fabric with seed beads. It really makes the flower pop. She used the necklace from a Nunn Design bead embroidery kit as her foundation for showcasing the flower. You can find more inspiration for creating little embroidery pieces that make your style stand out in this Artbeads Cafe episode.
Choose a fabric with a unique design like the flower fabric Cynthia used. Then, use seed beads to outline the design with the two-seed-bead backstitch. Cynthia used Miyuki 15/0 round seed beads in Duracoat galvanized silver for the petals and Miyuki 11/0 round seed beads in Duracoat galvanized sea green for the stem. Then, she outlined the circular center of the flower with TOHO 11/0 bead rounds in nickel-plated bronze plum iris. She filled the center of the flower with Miyuki 15/0 round seed beads in topaz gold luster.
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
