    If you are looking …
    If you are looking to add a traditional clasp to make, say, a cuff that is entirely bead embroidered, you could just catch closed jump rings between your beads when you do your beaded edge, or put open jump rings through the edge beads afterwords.

    Generally speaking, there are so many different applications for a piece of bead embroidery that the possibilities of how to attach the piece to a finding or base are endless. We have several videos in our Bead Embroidery Techniques channel, including: How to Bead Weave a Ladder Stitch Bail, Bead Embroidery: The Direct Attachment Method, How to Embed a Pin Back, and How to Finish Bead Embroidery that Has a Textile Piece.

    There is a link in the video description to our other videos on bead embroidery. The possibilities of what you can do with a finished bead embroidery piece are endless! Some of the most popular bead embroidery pieces are large bib necklaces. You could also do a large rectangular piece and turn it into a cuff bracelet. Smaller pieces can become necklace focals or even cocktail rings. The large piece that I show as an example in this video is going to be the front of a waist sash.

    Wonderful! I’ve worried about maintaining uniformity in bead embroidery when such small gaps occur. This solution works…and makes for interesting texture. It presents a similar look to mosaic, of which I’m a big fan, This is exceptionally helpful. Thank you, Beadaholique!:)

    Hey! i lovedseeing this technique and i was wondering if you could provide in the description the links you talked about in your video 🙂
    If not i’ll just search then…
    But that bracelet is just amazing! i could easily see myself doing this but i would probably do smaller works…
