How to add seed beads
To attach
your beads,
use a whole
cross stitch
to help keep
the beads
upright and
create a
consistent
finish. Attach the bead to the design
with the bottom arm of a cross stitch
and then add the top arm of the
stitch, making sure that one strand
of thread falls on either side of the
bead to help hold it upright.
Stitching ideas
To make these into real bauble hangings for
your Christmas tree, stitch your chosen bauble
design onto two pieces of aida, back with iron-
on vilene, fussy cut the completed stitching
then sew together and stuff with wadding.
