Nov. 14, 2011 - PRLog -- Beading Daily presents five beautiful bead embroidery projects, all free. Unlike other types of off-loom bead-weaving, bead embroidery is the stitching of seed beads to a fabric or felt-like backing. While the basic stitches used in bead embroidery are relatively simple, the results can be spectacular. Whether new to beading embroidery or an expert beader, Beading Daily offers new ideas for bead applique or picot trim in this collection of free bead embroidery patterns.

Bead embroidery allows you to ‘paint’ with your beads on a fabric ‘canvas’ for a look that you just can't get with other bead-weaving techniques. You can also easily incorporate found objects, gemstone and handmade cabochons and other unique jewelry-making components into your bead embroidery projects,” saysBeading Daily Editor, Jennifer VanBenschoten.

The instructions found in this eBook on beadwork embroidery cover a wide range of styles and techniques.

While bead embroidery can be used to make spectacular beaded jewelry, it can also be used to add a decorative touch to all sorts of accessories like purses and handbags, clothing and even shoes. Bead embroidery is instantly recognizable in Native American beadwork, and some of the most breathtaking fashions seen on the runway in the 20th century have also been decorated with beaded embroidery.

Free Beaded Embroidery Pattern #1
Kachina Goddess Pin by Jody Johnston-Duran

Bead embroidery can be used to turn a cabochon into an elegant, inspired piece of art. It is really important to first audition stones with different beads before finalizing a piece of jewelry. Johnston-Duran begins by laying out possible designs on a table and playing with the composition.  She suggested tracing the cabochon onto paper and sketching designs with pencil or draping strands of beads around the cabochon to provide ideas and inspiration. With this bead embroidery pattern, a cabochon can be transformed into a stunning piece of beaded embroidery art.

Illuminated Letters by Dustin Wedekind

This bead embroidery pattern is a great project for using up leftover beads from other projects. The pins used for this bead embroidery project were inspired by medieval manuscripts created by monks who drew fantastic flora, fauna, and other beaded patterns around letters in their books.

"When I give a handmade beaded bracelet or necklace to someone dear, the gift becomes more special if it's delivered in an embellished pouch." -- Marlene Blessing

Star-Studded Bracelet by Judy Brownell

As soon as Judy Brownell saw Lochrosen crystals, she became obsessed with trying to find more of them. Here she shows off their beauty by stitching them to a piece of teal Ultrasuede, which with a crystal button and loop added becomes a glittering bracelet of beaded embroidery.

Free Beaded Embroidery Pattern #5
Day in the Sun by Kelli Burns

This blooming cuff was created with a garden of Lucite components in this wonderful beaded embroidery pattern. It's an easy backstitch-embroidery project that turns into a three-dimensional work of art. Since only a small amount of each seed-bead color is needed for this bead embroidery pattern, this a great project for using up leftover beads. Using a minimal amount of beads embroidered directly on colored Ultrasuede can really make beads standout.
