What is Beaded Embroidery?
Beaded embroidery is the meticulous process of stitching beads onto fabric to create decorative designs. This traditional craft has been used for centuries in fashion, home décor, and ceremonial garments. The beads, often made of glass, crystal, or other materials, are hand-sewn onto fabrics like silk, velvet, or cotton to produce intricate patterns or textures.
The Hand Embroidery Co. combines traditional techniques with contemporary designs to cater to a modern audience while maintaining the authenticity of this age-old craft.
