Beaded Clothes

Would you like to add some beaded glitz to a garment? Don’t think twice about it. Beading is one of the easiest and most eye-catching ways to upgrade a garment—whether it’s handmade or store bought. Here’s what you need to know to bead a ready-made garment.

A simple running stitch is all that’s required to add a line – or many lines – of beads to a garment. Simply move the needle and thread in and out of the fabric, pick up a bead and then repeat. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Sharps or regular beading needles
  • Polyester, cotton, or silk thread that matches your fabric
  • Beeswax (to strenthen and stiffen the thread)
  • Beads!
  • Embroidery hoop (optional)
  • Fabric marker
