Attaching sweetgrass to flat stitch embroidery
In this video, I demonstrate a method to attach braided sweetgrass to a flat stitch embroidery earring. I use nymo d thread in a colour similar to the sweetgrass, and a specific method for attaching it that hides the thread.

So helpful ❤ that beadwork is gorgeous btw
I make a pour painting on a silicon mat and when it is totally dry I peel it off and store them in sheet protectors. I then glue cabs on a spot of the painting that I really like and when that drys I cut it out and either glue it into a setting or on to Lacy’s Stiff Stuff and bead embroider around it to make either a brooch/pendant or earrings. It makes every piece you make truly one of a kind. I really enjoy your tutorials. 😊
Love your videos and appreciate all the information you share!
Thanks for sharing
Very professional way to add wire guards. Will have to give it another try! Thank you!
I can’t wait to start making beautiful earrings like you!
So helpful! Thank you ❤
Thank you for your knowledge! ❤
When cutting your backing if you lay the top down and trace around it you won't waste quiet so much. Just a thought.
Thank you! This is super helpful. How kind of you to teach us. I really do appreciate it.💚✌️
Thank you! Always pulled my thread really tight …now I know why the beads always buckled!!

Super helpful, thank you!
You're welcome!
I am a newbie, I am need ing to know, what size needles do you need for each bead size. a friend gave me some thread and needles abut i dont know the thread size she gave me. Thanks for the tip on metalllic beads. TY
That’s a really good question. Generally the bigger the bead, the bigger than needle. There is more to consider. For instance, with size 11 seed beads generally you can get away with using a size 10 needle. Of course you could also use size 11 or 12 because they are smaller. The thing to be most cognizant of is when using size 13 or 15 beads, you would use size 11 and 12 needles, respectively, or just use size 12 for both. Something else to keep in mind is the smaller than needle, the more difficult it will be to thread because the hole size will be smaller. Thread is another area altogether. There are different thicknesses for Nymo, I just use Good Thread for everything
Dear Donna, Thank You Very Much. I now know how to make the edging look wonderfull.🥰🥰🥰 Halina in Australia
Thanks for these tips and the links. I try to only buy from Canadian businessess.
You are welcome. That is wonderful, thank you for supporting Canadian businesses!
do you have a video of how to finish the end and tie it all together :)?
Hello! I do :) The "Indigenous beaded earring edging - blanket stitch and 2 bead loop will show you this. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the reply I will check it out. I’ve been having such a hard time with these !
Please reach back if I can provide more support!@@goatfuck
I just started to do bead embroidery, and of course I started with a Toronto Maple Leaf Logo a big 1, what was I thinking. It turned out pretty good, but I never knew you could put wire guardians on. And yes, I threw away my cheap ones and got the good ones. You are a great teacher, very calm. Keep them coming. Kirstem D Ont. Canada
Hello and thank you for the feedback! Your story reminds me of my first attempt at fringe - I did a 15 row pair. I almost quit forever lol. Happy you like the good wire guards, big difference right? I threw the old ones away once I got the good ones too! If you have not tried John Bead Good Thread, you should. I threw away my nymo once I tried this thread as well. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this video! I bought it after watching (from Amazon and it even had a $10 off coupon) and received it yesterday. You are exactly right….it is a game changer!! Not only is it MUCH easier to see what you’re doing but it helps with posture too. I’m not scrunched over anymore. Thank you 🙏 😊
So happy to hear the video and lamp helped you! This was my first review, but I had to share because I NEED my lamp :)
Apparently I didn’t realize how much I needed one!
Same for me at first!
Thank you Donna, pls keep posting ❤
Great video! Looking forward to trying this technique. I usually do two beads at a time but sometimes find it doesn’t lay correctly around the cab. I’m just trying the two needle method but getting a little frustrated with all the thread 😆
Thank you! I will try the two needle method soon. The one needle works so well that I have not been quick to learn the 2 needle. Perhaps I will learn and then do a comparison video!
Great video! What type of felt do you prefer?
Thank you! I have only ever used beading felt purchased from beading supply sites. Beadsmith and John Bead are common names, but you can find it on most sties. Indigenous sties usually have good prices! You can also go to a fabric store and inquire about stiff felt (pellon) for beading. They will be able to assist.
