Little secrets for those who want to become a beadwork master.

To create amazing designer items, it is better for novice needlewomen to take large beads. This will help you quickly master the technique of weaving using schematic images of the image. More experienced ones are recommended to use source material from a Czech or Japanese manufacturer, since such beads are distinguished by high-quality coating, adherence to the same shade of color, and the exact size of individual beads.

When starting work, use thin craft wire; the material is convenient for fixing simple knots. For complex weaving, you can use fishing line or nylon thread.

When creating masterpieces using your own designs, transfer the image you like using carbon paper to paper. Then, in a random order within the image, draw the location of the beads, painting them with the desired color shade. In this way, you can create schematic images of more complex structures - paintings, panels. To fix flat beaded figures on the surface of a future three-dimensional image - a painting, use PVA glue.
