Beginner-Friendly Bead Embroidery Tutorial | Turtle Design + 3 Techniques + Hacks

Описание: In this video, I walk you through three essential bead embroidery techniques step by step, using a cute turtle design as our example. Perfect for beginners, I explain everything slowly and clearly - from threading the needle and choosing beads, to stitching curves, straight lines, and finishing threads neatly.
You’ll show you:
0:00 Intro
3:11 Basic back stitch (two beads at a time)
7:05 Curve stitch for smooth, flowing outlines
13:29 Faster stitching with four beads at a time for straight lines or gentle curves
11:11 How to secure and finish your thread professionally
Tips for picking colors and creating depth with shading
I also share my favorite tools and materials: John James beading needles, Nymo and Miyuki beading thread, beeswax, and more - everything I use to make my beadwork precise and enjoyable.
(Unpaid mention: I’m just sharing the tools I personally love - this video is not sponsored.)
Whether you’re new to bead embroidery or looking to improve your technique, this tutorial will help you create beautiful, calm, and meditative beadwork projects.
💡 Tip: Take your time and follow along at your own pace - bead embroidery is as much about the process as it is about the final design!
