Simple to do, quick and versatile, holds it shape
without elaborate inishing
Beads are sewn directly to cardstock,
following a printed design for precise
placement. The design printed on the
card combines graphic lines and symbols
with an actual photo of the design as shown in
the segment at left. The methods are similar to those used for bead-
ing on leather or fabric. The main difference is in the ease of inish-
ing---cardbeading pieces hold their shape without the additional
support required by fabric or leather. Use a single strand of neutral
color ordinary sewing thread and a small sharp needle such as a #10 or #11 “between.”
When illing large single color areas such as background, you can match the thread color
to the beads. Before beginning, trim excess card to 1/2” (1.2cm) all around.
Bugle beads are elongated tubes; they come in many different lengths. Sew
them in place as shown here. The holes are usually large but the cut edges of the
beads are sharp, so you may want to use a doubled thread to secure them, as a
single thread may fray. If there is too much movement in the bead, you can add a
second thread as shown in the overhead view. This is sometimes necessary with
longer bugle beads.
Larger seed beads such as sizes 6/0 and 8/0 can be treated as regular seed beads (see
the other side) if that is what the design calls for. They can also be used decoratively with
anchors as shown here. For 6/0 beads, 11/0 beads should be used for anchoring. For 8/0
beads, use 15/0 beads for anchoring.
Semi-precious stone chips are odd shaped, but often have one side that is rela-
tively flat. The holes may be quite small. Place the flatter side against the card and
anchor the chip in place with a seed bead, either 11/0 or 15/0 depending on the rela-
tive size of the chip. In some cases, the hole may run from end to end, especially if the
chip is of very fine quality. In that case, treat the chip as if it were a pearl.
Freshwater pearls (rice-shaped) should be laid with the flatter edge against the card
as shown unless otherwise indicated in the specific directions. They often have very small
holes; a fine needle should be used. Other shapes of pearls, especially those with short
holes, can be anchored with small seed beads, similar to chips or larger seed beads
SEWING ON SEED BEADS
Seed beads (11/0, 15/0 and Delicas) are the most commonly used type of bead in
cardbeading. They can be sewn on individually, in groups of two or three, or in long
continuous rows.
Single beads are used to fill small spaces. The thread is brought
up through the card, the bead is slipped onto the needle, then the
needle is pushed back through the card (A).
When you are sewing the beads onto an outer edge or along a curve,
they should be sewn on in groups of two or three, as shown in (B).
Note the second thread that runs through the entire group; this
is called “backtracking.” The backtracking thread stabilizes and
smooths the line (E). Following the design, poke holes in the line
you intend to cover, using beads applied to a needle to judge the
approximate distance as shown in (D). This will facilitate the proper
placement of beads on a line. The photo at right shows a curved
line of beads; the line on the left has no backtracking thread. The line on the right is smoothed by the addition
of a backtracking thread, so the overall appearance improved.

Crystals and other faceted beads should be sewn with two
threads if the holes are placed parallel to the card. In the over-
head view shown at left, the holes in the card are exaggerated
for visibility. Depending on the number of facets on the bead you
are using, they may not lie perfectly flat. Having two separate
threads as shown in the diagram will help minimize movement
of the bead after it is sewn. Flatter crystals can be treated in a
similar manner to larger seed beads or chips, with an anchoring
bead. An example of this is shown in the diagram at right.
Finishing is simple. The basic concept is to glue or fuse a material of your choice to the back of the finished
beadwork and then trim away the excess card with small sharp scissors. Lightweight tightly-woven fabrics,
light felt, ultrasuede, and very lightweight leather are good choices. Pre-shrink the backing material by press-
ing before you begin. If fringe has been added to the finished beadwork, hold it aside while trimming and
take care not to cut any threads. Ultra-hold Heat ‘n Bond works well, as does ordinary white glue. If fusing
is used, the piece will retain a small amount of flexibility. If glue is used, it will stiffen. Layer the components
as shown in the diagram and heat together for five seconds.
Reposition the iron and repeat so there will be no steam holes.
Flip the piece over and iron close to the edge
of the beads. Allow the piece to cool thoroughly
before proceeding, as beads retain heat!
Trim the excess card carefully using
small scissors.

Long rows of seed beads may also be sewn on to fill large areas such as background and foreground. The
basic technique is shown in (C); multiple beads, up to twelve at one
time, are threaded onto the needle and fitted into the intended space
(F). The entire row is loosely secured by inserting the needle back
through the card at the row’s end (G). Holes are poked at intervals
of two or three beads, just to one
side or the other of the row, and the
row is secured with a “tie-down” or
“couching” thread as shown in (H).

The photo at left shows a row with too many beads for a proper it in
the intended space. One bead should be slipped back off the needle. The
photo at right shows a row with too few beads to it properly; one bead
should be added.
