Bead Embroidery Frames

My 3d printed bead embroidery frames are available in white, black and grey, they can be painted with acrylic paints or permanent markers.

New designs are being added all the time, please check back. Custom designs are available, send me a message on my contact page and let’s talk about your design needs.

Step 1

 Glue your frame to bead embroidery foundation. I use B700 with the fine tip to apply a small amount around the whole frame. Attach to the foundation and let it dry!

Step 2

Bead the inside area of the frame as much or as little as you like, being sure to keep your threads straight up and down, inside the frame on the back

Step 3

Trim your threads and then trim the bead backing to about 1/16^th of an inch. I do not measure this, I usually just leave about a bead’s width of backing showing around the frame, just enough to bring my thread up though to make a nice edging stitch.

Step 4

Apply a leather or suede backing of your choice. I use school glue stick for this step. Apply the glue to the whole back of the embroidered piece including any threads or knots. Stick the piece to the back material and allow it to dry for a few minutes. The glue stick dries very quickly so you can trim almost right away. Trim the backing to the size of the front piece.

Step 5

I use a brick stitch edging all around the piece to sew the front to the back and finish the piece off  with a nice edge
