Decorating things with beads is a painstaking work that requires patience and perseverance. However, the work will pay off in full: as a result, you will get a spectacular, individual thing, decorated with your own hands. The beaded bag will be a bright accent in your look.
Decorating the bag with beads: the necessary materials
To decorate your bag with beads, you will need two main materials - an accessory and beads. If you want to create a beautiful, memorable design, choose beads of different diameters - this will give relief. Also, do not forget about the existence of bugles.
Beads beads are different. If you plan to carry the bag as an evening bag, choose Czech materials. The beads in them are even, of the same size and color. It is a pleasure to work with such people.
For work, be sure to purchase special needles. Regular ones for embroidery will not work because of the thickness. Bead needles are very thin, sharp, and have a small eye. Choose nylon or nylon threads. They are durable and will be almost invisible. A fishing line is also suitable for working with beads.
Ways to decorate a bag with beads
The first popular way to decorate a bag with beads is embroidery. It is mainly used to decorate fabric accessories (silk, denim, cotton, etc.). In addition to beads, you can use rhinestones, coins, ribbons in your work.
The second way of decorating is gluing. It is applicable for leather, plastic, oilcloth, suede bags. It is necessary to use only transparent fast fixing glue. You will also need tweezers and a clean cloth to remove excess compound. After registration, the decor should completely grab, which will take about 2 days.
Of course, the embroidery will be a more durable decoration. However, it will take a lot of effort to pierce the leather / suede. If you decide on such an experiment, be sure to use a thimble.
Before registration, create a sketch of the future drawing. This is necessary if you plan to use beads of several colors, placing them in a certain sequence. This way you will estimate the compatibility and the result in advance. If the design is monochromatic and solid / scattered, it is not necessary to sketch.
To make the product look spectacular, follow the rules of color matching. Be sure to consider the tone of the foundation if you are not planning to fully pave it. Clutches completely trimmed with monochromatic shining beads look beautiful and elegant. A handbag with such a discreet but bright design is perfect for evening wear.
You can also decorate the bag with the beaded applique. The future decoration is woven separately, and then simply glued / sewn to the accessory. It is worth using this method if you plan to create a small beautiful accent on the bag in the form of a flower or a funny character drawing.
