There are different techniques of weaving. For beginners, work should begin with mastering the simplest of them. The simplest technique of weaving is, undoubtedly, a knot.

Beadwork
A more complex process is weaving with beads. In this way, not only necklaces and rings are made, but even paintings and clothing. Naturally, we need a special machine for weaving, with which it becomes easier, more: without it we can not weave without it. When manufacturing a woven product, only beads of the same size should be put into operation, otherwise the product will lose its evenness and look sloppy. The warp threads can be cut and fastened, and can be used as a fringe around the edges of the product.
Mosaic technique is not so complicated, but it requires care, because the thread there should be missed in a special way, skipping some beads, so that the result is a dense arrangement of beads in the given order. Mosaic schemes come with an even and an odd number of beads. The numbering of beads in the series goes as if on a diagonal.
The canvas, similar to the woven mosaic technique, can be easily obtained using the technique of brick stitch. Unlike the mosaic weaving, the thread is fastened to the previous row not through the beads, but through the thread of the previous row, in the diagram it really looks very much like a brick wall. Brick stitch is used where mosaic technique is not acceptable, it also needs a basic series, performed in any of the techniques.

In general, the product is very beautiful, especially if you combine beads of different colors. In the canvas you need to use a quantity of beads multiple of 2 or 4. The location of the beads here is straight, so that you can use patterns and patterns that are used for woven canvases from beads.
Advice for beginners - you can also embroider beads
In addition to various products, you can make and embroidery with beads, because it is easy to include in any seam. Most often used are seams, such as stitching and arched. The bead can be fastened with a simple loop, or a smaller bead can be used as a fastening object. In this way, you can hide the thread itself, and the bead will be fixed to the fabric in only one place, and not from two edges, as with a simple loop. From beads you can embroider a relief pattern, or sew them in a chaotic order, while using different colors and sizes, an effective look is guaranteed. Embroidery with beads gives a great scope for your imagination, here the main thing is not to be afraid to experiment and try different methods and schemes.
