For adding a great finish to your stitched designs, seed beads are a lovely touch... super for sparkle and texture effects too.
It is best to use a specially designed beading needle to add seed beads, but a size 28 tapestry needle may work. The needle will have to be smaller than the needle you use for cross stitch and it will have to be sharper. Choosing the right needle will save you a big headache as the beads can get stuck on your needle.
Sometimes people don't like to buy big patterns as they're scared by the cost of the framing. Well, I've found this great tutorial by GEEKitty on Imgur that explains step by step how to create a scroll frame out of your works. She used our Epic Potter pattern and all the work just costed $25! All you will need is your stitched piece, fabric for the backing, iron, a sewing machine (no particular skills required, or you can also stitch by hand), a ribbon and two dowels.
