Stringing Beads for the Beaded Flower Shirt

Sorry it has taken me so long to post this today. Between snotty noses, poopy diapers, speech therapy, and feeding the kiddos, it has been a busy day. :) This post is a mini tute that goes along with the Beaded Flower Shirt. Go check it out!

1. Double over your string and load about 6 beads on it. Don't tie the end.

2. Tie a double knot around the end one.

3. Hide your string tail by sliding the rest of the beads up.

4. Load up your string with beads.

5. When you have as many beads as you need, push your needle through the last few beads you strung, except the end one.

6. You need to tie another double knot in between the two beads where the needle came out.


7. Push the needle back through a few beads to hide the tail.

8. Clip your string

9. You're done! Now the string of beads is ready to be sewn to the front of the shirt! That wasn't so bad, was it? :)
