I've been revisiting ways to embellish my projects and the first thing that always comes to mind are beads. I've used these in many projects and I remember a while ago, I made a tutorial on how to add beads by machine - it included a video too!
Beads definitely add a nice touch to any product. I've used them to create centers on flowers like these poppies...
For eyes (such as these fish eyes) and flora in seascapes - one of the designs in my Picturesque 3-D Scene workshop...
Dandelions and dragonflies in my pattern "A Second View"....
and even stardust (for lack of a better word!) on this book cover (from my free online workshop) or rain on a small quilt I call April Showers...
But today, I'm using them in my knitting - yes, another craft I do when I'm not quilting.
...And today I thought I'd share a quick video of how I put a bead on over 3 stitches. I'm using fine mohair and #6 beads in this project.
Will you try adding beads to your next project?
