Questions about bead work
« on: August 21, 2020, 01:12:26 pm »
Does anyone have suggestions on how to attach a bead weaving to leather work? I'd like to trim a new quiver this way somehow.

I would stitch it on. You'll have to make the holes with an awl and only penetrate the leather about 1/2 way through. You could just tack it with a stitch every inch or so using the same method.

That's kind of what I thought.
I tried hot-gluing the beads at first so I could undo it if I wanted.  This  worked well enough as a temporary solution to get an idea of the finished product, but the glue eventually let go when flexed.

you can also use a craft glue called E6000. My friends are beaders and that is what they use. it flexes and you can sew through it.

Isn't that kind of rigid and brittle?
