- Dressing clothes with beads - useful tips:
If you have a desire to decorate clothes with embroideryfrom beads, remember that with intensive wear it can fade or even peel off. Therefore, before you start working, you should test the beads: rub a few beads between your fingers for some time, and then see if the paint has peeled off from it when rubbing. If this happens, take another material, and use this one for embroidering items that will not be exposed to mechanical stress, such as a painting or a wall panel. Before decorating clothes, hold some beads that you want to use in embroidery in a sunny place for one or two weeks, and then compare them with those that were not in the sun. If their color has changed significantly, decide whether you want to see your embroidery like this. This applies to items that will be in the open sun for a certain time (blouse, jeans, etc.). Beads that fade in the sun can be used for paintings that hang on the wall in a room and are not exposed to direct sunlight. If you use beads to decorate clothes with your own hands, it is sometimes useful to make the embroidery removable. Especially if it is large and voluminous. Make the pattern not on the clothes, but on a piece of fabric, which you then baste to the clothes. This will make it easier to care for the product, since you can remove the fabric with the embroidery during washing, and then sew it back on. To independently develop an embroidery pattern, do not use regular squared paper, because the beads are oval, not spherical. Create a grid with cells in proportions of 1: 1.3 manually or on a computer in a graphics editor. This will help to avoid distortion of the image when transferring it from paper to fabric. Copy this blank on a Xerox machine so that a clean form is always at hand, and you do not have to waste time on drawing, but can immediately proceed to developing the pattern. We recommend reading:
