Surface Beading—Seed Beads

The animations below show simple methods for sewing seed beads onto your surface. Rounded seed beads are shown, but the techniques are equally good for Delicas, hexes, cuts, and triangles. Seed beads size 6° and larger should be sewn on individually.

For a single seed bead of any size, simply bring the thread from back to front, put the bead on the needle, and then run it back from front to back as in the first animation below. Larger seed beads can be laid flat and anchored with a small seed bead (14°, 15°) as in the second animation below.
