It is necessary
- - beads of different shades;
- - bugles;
- - nylon threads;

- - threads for basting.
Instructions
Step 1
Come up with the pattern you want to embroider. Proceed from the dimensions of the side of the boot boot, the color of the wool from which it is made. Choose round beads and a long bugle, lay out a few pieces of both on a felt boot, see how the shades are combined with each other. Choose nylon thread that best matches the color of your felt boots.
Step 2
Lay a basting seam on the felt boot along the contour of the created pattern. To do this, select threads in a color that is contrasting to the felt felt material. The contour will help you to sew the beads strictly within the limits where it is needed. You can use a remnant to draw a pattern, but the trace will not be visible on light felt boots. In addition, it is impossible to draw a thin outline on felted wool.
Step 3
Sew on the beads where the pattern you draw requires. Try to keep the beads tightly together, to form solid colored zones, try not to go beyond the basting threads, which serve as the border of the color. Attach each bead to the plane of the bootleg with one stitch, do not try to bring the needle inside the felt boot after each stitch, it is enough to grab a small piece of felted wool. After two or three beads, pierce the bootleg through and through, bring the needle inside the felt boot, secure with a few small stitches. Pull the thread to the work side and continue sewing. When all the beads are sewn on, secure the thread from the inside.
Step 4
Contour the drawing with a long glass bead. Sew it strictly along the threads of the basting. Circle the fully beaded areas. Sew each bead of glass beads with a through seam, fix the thread on the back of the product. Correct the pattern if in some places the sewn beads have gone beyond the boundaries of the basting.
Step 5
Remove the seams of the basting from the product.
