An Example of How to Add Beads to A Prepackaged Cross Stitch Kit

It would be a sheer joy to create and embellish this beautiful cross stitch kit with beads!

There are so many options for embellishing this gorgeous cross stitch picture.  After studying it for some time, I would recommend adding black seed beads to the teddy bear’s eyes.  Plus, I would add clear beads to the purple sleeves and the matching ribbon on the hat.

Another option would be to add orange or clear seed beads to the center of the pumpkin’s eyes.

It is best to choose to embellish either the pumpkin or the bear.  I would not embellish both since the beads are used to draw attention to a specific image.

The key to beautiful picture beading is to decide where you wish to draw attention.  If this picture is for Halloween, I would opt for the pumpkin.  If it is for autumn, I would bead the teddy bear.

Books Have Tons of Patterns

Pick a Pattern and Add Beads

I often find cross stitch patterns that I love, but are not available in kits.  It is a little more trouble to gather the supplies, but I get exactly what I want in the end.

Simply buy the book or pattern, the threads/floss and accent beads.  By adding the beading detail, we can detail & embellish a picture and make it a one of kind masterpiece!

One Note: Don’t let the cover of the Beaded Cross Stitch Treasures book fool you!
This book also has patterns for Halloween hangings with black cats, flying witches, ghosts, and grinning pumpkins!  The beauty of that particular book is that is shows the placement and recommended beads you will need for embellishing the patterns.

    I just love the beaded cross stitch patterns and kits. Someday I’ll get around to trying that. With all the cross stitch I’ve done in my life, I’ve never tried beads!

  2. Quite a variety here. I like the night owl best, since I don’t go for the spooky stuff.
