Pearl accents are the best way to pull off embellishment without making a piece look gaudy. Pearl beading can be found on items ranging from wedding dresses to casual blouses. But since the application can become meticulous, it can make items pricier than they need to be. Here, I will show just how to create your very own beaded pieces that will save you tons of money. The best part about it is that you don't have to spend hours searching and compromising between price and style. Just create it on your own!
What you will need
1. Needles
2. 100% silk beading thread
3. Three of the smallest bead sizes you can find (I also used a silver cylinder bead to break up the continuity)
4. Scissors
5. Regular thread
First: Knot the bottom of the beading thread and stack the beads on the line while alternating sizes
*Make sure to leave extra room on the line so that beads can move around.
Second: Take the string of beads and secure them onto the garment by placing a stitch between each individual bead (over the orginal beading string).
*Wind back and forth so that the beads are very close together and tight.
