0:00:07.260,0:00:11.980 Hi my name is Julie with Beadaholique.com
Today I'm going to show you how to
0:00:11.980,0:00:13.039 bead embroider a pico edge.
0:00:13.039,0:00:17.970 here we have project where we've taken
a cabochon and we've done some bead embroidery around it
0:00:17.970,0:00:21.679 and then we've already gone ahead and mounted
it onto ultra suede.
0:00:21.679,0:00:24.740 So now we just need to finish it, we need
to cover up this edge where the
0:00:24.740,0:00:28.130 foundation and the ultra suede are
sandwiched together.
0:00:28.130,0:00:30.899 I wanted do a pico edge.
That's one way of doing it.
0:00:30.899,0:00:35.199 For that I'm going to need to repeat some
of the beads I have already stitched.
You could
0:00:35.199,0:00:38.460 do different beads but I think it actually
looks very nice to have it
0:00:38.460,0:00:40.940 have a cohesive feeling to use some of the
beads
0:00:40.940,0:00:42.930 already used in the piece.
0:00:42.930,0:00:46.380 So to decide which beads you want to
use, it's totally personal preference.
Since
0:00:46.380,0:00:48.300 I just ended in purple
0:00:48.300,0:00:51.530 I think I mean I want to do some gold
and then since I just have the black
0:00:51.530,0:00:54.250 right here I'm going do some black as
well.
0:00:54.250,0:00:57.380 The black beads are actually are a bit smaller
than the gold
0:00:57.380,0:01:00.170 which I think will add an interesting
element as well.
0:01:00.170,0:01:03.660 The amount of thread you're going to need
is going to be dependent of course on how big of a piece
0:01:03.660,0:01:06.280 you're doing and how far around you
have to go.
0:01:06.280,0:01:09.550 For this guy here I'm going to need about
four feet.
0:01:09.550,0:01:10.860 So to begin
0:01:10.860,0:01:14.130 pick up one bead with my beading
needle.
0:01:14.130,0:01:16.710 I have not tied a knot at the end of
my
0:01:16.710,0:01:19.490 beading thread and you'll see why in the
end.
0:01:19.490,0:01:21.319 I'm going to want to go ahead
0:01:21.319,0:01:24.060 and insert my needle
0:01:24.060,0:01:25.479 between
0:01:25.479,0:01:26.910 two of the beads
0:01:26.910,0:01:30.880 on the outer edge my beadwork
0:01:30.880,0:01:32.510 and push it
0:01:32.510,0:01:35.380 I don't quite want it that far
0:01:35.380,0:01:42.380 I'm going to push it all the way
through
0:01:42.600,0:01:45.180 pull your thread through
0:01:45.180,0:01:46.600 make sure you leave a tail
0:01:46.600,0:01:50.250 about eight inches because you're going to
need to thread a needle on that in the final
0:01:50.250,0:01:52.150 step.
0:01:52.150,0:01:56.150 So I just I just pulled my thread so it's
no longer
0:01:56.150,0:02:01.160 sticking upright.
I don't want it sticking like this.
I want it pulled over to the side.
0:02:01.160,0:02:02.840 Now go through
0:02:02.840,0:02:08.439 that bead
0:02:08.439,0:02:11.019 and I want it to be coming straight out
0:02:11.019,0:02:13.059 from my cabochon.
0:02:13.059,0:02:16.309 So I don't want it pointed down or up
0:02:16.309,0:02:19.669 I want it coming straight out.
0:02:19.669,0:02:22.019 Now what I'm gonna do
0:02:22.019,0:02:26.079 is pick up another bead
and this one I'm going to use a black bead
0:02:26.079,0:02:27.630 and another gold
0:02:27.630,0:02:29.309 and I'm gonna go back
0:02:29.309,0:02:31.449 through the topside
0:02:31.449,0:02:33.399 so it's underneath
0:02:33.399,0:02:34.649 topside.
0:02:34.649,0:02:37.659 I'm going to move over about the width of
a bead
0:02:37.659,0:02:39.529 of one of my gold beads
0:02:39.529,0:02:44.309 and go down through the foundation
and ultra suede
0:02:44.309,0:02:46.650 pull
0:02:46.650,0:02:51.269 Again I want this to be along the edge.
0:02:51.269,0:02:54.149 And now I'm going to go back up
0:02:54.149,0:02:59.839 through the gold bead
0:02:59.839,0:03:02.239 and we have
0:03:02.239,0:03:03.540 our first
0:03:03.540,0:03:08.329 pico edge.
0:03:08.329,0:03:10.749 So now I'm going to repeat that same process.
0:03:10.749,0:03:12.519 Pick up a black bead
0:03:12.519,0:03:15.639 and a gold bead
0:03:16.699,0:03:18.419 kind of go under
0:03:18.419,0:03:21.549 that last row of beading
0:03:21.549,0:03:28.549 go through both layers
0:03:28.719,0:03:34.939 pull and go up through the gold bead
0:03:34.939,0:03:36.819 and pull.
You want to make sure
0:03:36.819,0:03:38.039 it's sitting
0:03:38.039,0:03:39.359 along the edge.
0:03:39.359,0:03:46.359 I'm going to do a couple more.
0:04:07.099,0:04:10.339 You can see how that's starting to look.
0:04:10.339,0:04:13.049 You just want to go all the way
around the edge.
If you happen to make a
0:04:13.049,0:04:14.059 mistake
0:04:14.059,0:04:17.919 don't your needle back through go
ahead take your needle off of your thread
0:04:17.919,0:04:21.090 and pull your thread out then rethread your
needle.
0:04:21.090,0:04:24.370 So continue going all the way around
until you comeback
0:04:24.370,0:04:26.780 to where you started.
0:04:26.780,0:04:30.410 I've almost finished beading along the
exterior of the cabochon.
You can see I
0:04:30.410,0:04:33.440 just have a little gap I'm going to fill in
here and this is what it looks like so
0:04:33.440,0:04:34.649 far.
0:04:34.649,0:04:38.899 You can see the stitching on the back.
I've tried to keep this as uniform as possible.
0:04:38.899,0:04:42.359 I'm going to complete the last
couple stitches here and then I'm going to
0:04:42.359,0:04:44.550 show you how to tie it off.
0:04:44.550,0:04:45.900 So pickup
0:04:45.900,0:04:48.279 a black bead
0:04:48.279,0:04:52.199 and a gold bead in my case.
Whatever pattern you're doing.
0:04:52.199,0:04:59.199 Pick up your beads accordingly for your pico
edge
0:05:00.719,0:05:02.800 and pull
0:05:02.800,0:05:04.490 through both layers of the
0:05:04.490,0:05:10.419 foundation and the backing and then cut
through that gold bead again
0:05:10.419,0:05:12.590 pull
0:05:12.590,0:05:16.219 It's a repetitive motion.
I actually find this very soothing much like knitting or
0:05:16.219,0:05:23.219 crocheting.
0:05:23.430,0:05:26.379 So this looks like it's going to be my
last bead
0:05:26.379,0:05:29.809 so I don't think I can get another gold
bead in that gap but let's take a look when it's
0:05:29.809,0:05:31.619 done.
0:05:31.619,0:05:33.319 So my ends meet
0:05:33.319,0:05:37.570 So now to finish this I need
one more black bead
0:05:37.570,0:05:41.820 so that it has a nice uniform edge and
pick up a black bead.
Instead of
0:05:41.820,0:05:46.179 adding another gold bead I'm going to go down
through
0:05:46.179,0:05:47.740 the gold bead I
0:05:47.740,0:05:51.169 first strung.
I actually want to try catch some of the
0:05:51.169,0:05:57.650 backing in there as well
0:05:57.650,0:05:59.129 and pull
0:05:59.129,0:06:01.330 so it completes my pico edge.
0:06:01.330,0:06:04.229 I've got this tail which is the
original tail when I first started
0:06:04.229,0:06:05.259 beading
0:06:05.259,0:06:08.009 and what you can do is if you don't have
a second needle you can take your needle
0:06:08.009,0:06:11.839 off of the string right now.
You're going to string it onto this tail end.
If you have
0:06:11.839,0:06:16.770 a second needle it's just as
easy to go ahead and just
0:06:16.770,0:06:18.520 thread that needle.
0:06:18.520,0:06:20.299 Now I want to go through
0:06:20.299,0:06:21.719 the black bead
0:06:21.719,0:06:24.089 and the gold bead
0:06:24.089,0:06:27.600 and my backing
0:06:27.600,0:06:33.910 it didn't catch enough of the backing there.
0:06:33.910,0:06:36.470 Pull through
0:06:36.470,0:06:41.169 So now you can see I've got a
completed edge.
0:06:41.169,0:06:44.460 I'm adjusting and making sure I like how it
looks.
0:06:44.460,0:06:46.210 From the topside it
0:06:46.210,0:06:47.409 looks good.
0:06:47.409,0:06:51.150 I've got two tales coming out of the
backing.
0:06:51.150,0:06:54.279 My needle slipped off but want to
keep it on if you can.
0:06:54.279,0:06:59.659 I'm just gonna tie a knot
0:06:59.659,0:07:04.949 Tie a simple knot
0:07:04.949,0:07:07.680 go back do a
0:07:07.680,0:07:09.479 surgeons knot
0:07:09.479,0:07:12.699 Tie my knot just going through once
0:07:12.699,0:07:15.809 coming through again
0:07:15.809,0:07:18.150 not trying to hold on to needle
0:07:18.150,0:07:21.519 and just pulling down.
0:07:21.519,0:07:24.969 Now there is this is one way to keep that
needle on you can just rethread it
0:07:24.969,0:07:26.610 though if it came off like mine.
0:07:26.610,0:07:28.229 Now you want to go in
0:07:28.229,0:07:31.340 take you're thread
0:07:31.340,0:07:34.889 You want to weave this into your
beadwork a little bit
0:07:34.889,0:07:38.059 so you don't have a tail on the back side
0:07:38.059,0:07:41.800 so you can just go ahead and
0:07:41.800,0:07:44.619 weave it into your beadwork
0:07:44.619,0:07:46.169 and go now
0:07:46.169,0:07:53.169 weave it in.
0:08:08.110,0:08:11.629 Once you've woven it in just take your
Thread Zap
0:08:11.629,0:08:14.310 carefully zap that and the thread is now hidden.
0:08:14.310,0:08:17.149 Go back to the other size if you
0:08:17.149,0:08:20.629 had two needles your needle should already
be on there.
With one needle
0:08:20.629,0:08:24.049 rethread it
0:08:24.049,0:08:31.049 go-ahead and weave this tail in
as well.
0:08:50.250,0:08:55.160 And use your Thread Zap again.
0:08:55.160,0:08:56.890 There we go
0:08:56.890,0:08:59.260 we have a finished piece.
We're ready to go on
0:08:59.260,0:09:02.700 to either the next step which can be
creating a bail, incorporating this into
0:09:02.700,0:09:05.160 a design, you can go ahead and put a
0:09:05.160,0:09:09.220 pin back on here and call it good and make
it into a beautiful broach
0:09:09.220,0:09:10.230 but this part
0:09:10.230,0:09:10.820 is now complete.
