Beading involves stringing colorful beads together or attaching them to fabric with stitching, string, or adhesive.
Beaders use an array of base materials from precious and semiprecious stones to seashells, metal, wood, plastic, and glass.
A bead loom provides a framework in which to place beads evenly and holds pieces in place so beads don't spill. Using cord or lacing, a caddy of beads, and some findings, you can create pieces in your very own style.
