How beautiful to embroider with beads on canvas?

First, let's get acquainted with the technique of embroidering with beads and learn how to embroider beads, what thread and what.

The fabric on which it is easiest to learn to embroider is called a canvas. It is a dense special matter, which is divided into identical squares, guided by which it is enough just to dial beads and stick to the drawing. Canva can be of different sizes, colors and different softness. For beginners, the hardest canvas is the best. After you have mastered the first techniques of embroidering with beads, you can safely move to any other fabric, honing your skills.

Threads for embroidery are best purchased lavsan. They are strong enough and at the same time they do not know how to fringe and loach themselves, which, it is agreeable, is important for maintaining a good kind of drawing. The color of the thread can be selected under the tone of the beads, or under the tone of the canvas - it all depends on the wishes and ideas of the needlewoman.

Now the technique itself.

1. We deduce a thread in the bottom left corner on the front part of the canvas.
2. We put on a bead and pass the needle diagonally into the upper right corner of the cell, with which you are currently working.
3. To fix the picture, we carry out these two steps twice with the first bead.
4. The second bead is also worn, not forgetting about the purl stitch.
5. In this way we fill the entire required series.
6. Going to the second bead line, continue to do all the same, but in the reverse order: we work from the right to the left, and from the top down.
7. The third row should be typed in the same way as the first one.

The described method is called the embroidery by horizontal rows. For clarity, we propose to rely on schemes. As you can see, everything is simple enough.
