Secure the fabric in an embroidery hoop
Thread the needle with beading thread or embroidery thread
Start from the back of the fabric and bring the needle up at the first bead placement
Pick up one or more beads, depending on the stitch
Insert the needle back into the fabric close to the starting point
Bring the needle up again at the next placement
Repeat the process to form lines, shapes, or filled areas
Use stitches such as backstitch, couching, or seed stitch to attach beads
Keep bead spacing even and follow the design outline
Secure thread ends on the back with small knots or weaving
Trim excess thread carefully
Remove the fabric from the hoop if needed
