Making beautiful art from seed beads by Barry Parrish
Making beautiful art from seed beads takes time and skill. No matter the technique, one rule is true for all projects: how you string your beads will make or break your piece. Whether working with a loom, creating beaded needlecraft or making jewellery, your project is held together with string or wire. Knowing how to use the thread or wire takes practice; however, there are a few tips and tricks that experienced beaders are happy to pass on so that your projects will last.
The single problem that occurs most often in any type of threaded beadwork is tension-related. As you work on your piece, it becomes either too tight or too loose, which can mean tearing it apart and beginning again. One easy tip for keeping your tension correct is to use the tail. When beginning a piece, cut your thread an additional 4 to 5 inches long. Begin your piece leaving that "tail" free from any beads. Wrap the tail around a finger, much like a person working on crochet would, and as you work the first part of your project, pull back on the tail slightly, making sure you are pulling straight back through the center of the hole in the bead. This will help keep the tension correct for the beginning of your project. As you progress, you can move your fingers to the beaded rows and maintain the tension that way.
It is possible, as you are stringing beads on thread or nylon, to see your thread begin to fray. While some of this can be corrected by properly waxing or treating your threads, the ends can fray as well. The first thing to look at when working on this problem is your beads themselves. The holes in the beads may be rough, and if so, can rub against the thread as you are working on your project. This would cause the thread to fray or even cut all the way through. You can solve this with the use of a little sandpaper, which you can rub your beads against and thus remove any sharp edges.
Seed beads are little glass beads that are oftentimes used to embellish articles of clothing and personal accessories. Seed beads are sold in packages of consistent sizes based loosely on how many seed beads it takes to equal 1 inch. For example, if you are sewing with size 11/0 seed beads, it will take 11 or 12 seed beads to equal 1 inch. Seed beads are available from size 6 to 15; the littler the number, the larger the bead. Learning to sew with seed beads is a simple process, as long as you can thread a needle and know how to make an up-and-down stitch, you're in business.
Trace the outline of the pattern onto the fabric with a cloth pen. The marks from fabric pens will wash away.
Thread the size 10 bead needle with 24 inches of waxed beading thread. Pull the tail of the thread about 8 inches through the eye of the beading needle. There is no need to knot the working end of the thread. Beading needles and thread are available at most craft stores.
You can make beautiful and delicate crystal wings from seed beads that have been woven together with fine gauge wire. These seed bead wings can serve as a butterfly that you could wire to a brooch pin finding. Or the wings could be sewn to the gown of a doll for a fairy creature. Once the uncomplicated wire weaving proficiency has been mastered, the method can also be used to make seed bead flower petals for some beaded blooms.
Happy Beading
