If you are looking to add a traditional clasp to make, say, a cuff that is entirely bead embroidered, you could just catch closed jump rings between your beads when you do your beaded edge, or put open jump rings through the edge beads afterwords.

To add a jump ring to an embroidered pendant, you will want to use a closed jump ring and literally stitch it on the pendant. You can do this a couple different ways: stitch it to the outside edge (as you are stitching your edge, just slip it in there) so that you will see the entire jump ring, stitch it to the backside after the piece is done, or sandwich it between your foundation and backing before you stitch the outer edge.
Generally speaking, there are so many different applications for a piece of bead embroidery that the possibilities of how to attach the piece to a finding or base are endless. We have several videos in our Bead Embroidery Techniques channel, including: How to Bead Weave a Ladder Stitch Bail, Bead Embroidery: The Direct Attachment Method, How to Embed a Pin Back, and How to Finish Bead Embroidery that Has a Textile Piece.
Great video! Can you add the link to the other persons bead embroidery channel that you mentioned? Also what are some ideas to do with the finished piece?

Hi Ayesha! This is a wonderful technique to add embellishments to clothing. You can use Lacy's Stiff Stuff but if you need a softer, more fabric like base you can use something like Ultra Suede or leather. You will want it to be stiff enough to handle the beading by pliable to mold to the shape of the clothing. Also make sure your thread tension is not too tight so that it bunches on the fabric. Happy Beading!
Beautiful designs. I am curious though as to why you didn't go back through the beads with the thread since you referenced Julia's video ( in link below) where she beads then goes back through them as well. When is best to go back though the beads and when is it ok not to? Thanks!
I love Beadaholique, have for many years. Great video thanks so much you make it look so easy. So far I have done Cabs for necklace…time to grow. Blessings!!!!!

We can confirm the material is Lacy's Stiff Stuff beading foundation. It's a material that is easy to use with needles, like fabric, but stays stiff to back your beading project. Here is a direct link: beadaholique.com/products/lacys-stiff-stuff-beading-foundation-for-cabochons-11-x-8-5-inches

There is a link in the video description to our other videos on bead embroidery. The possibilities of what you can do with a finished bead embroidery piece are endless! Some of the most popular bead embroidery pieces are large bib necklaces. You could also do a large rectangular piece and turn it into a cuff bracelet. Smaller pieces can become necklace focals or even cocktail rings. The large piece that I show as an example in this video is going to be the front of a waist sash.

Wonderful! I've worried about maintaining uniformity in bead embroidery when such small gaps occur. This solution works...and makes for interesting texture. It presents a similar look to mosaic, of which I'm a big fan, This is exceptionally helpful. Thank you, Beadaholique!:)
