Attaching the Beads
Coins in the Fountain Cyber Workshop

Stitch the beads in place.

The beads are attached to the canvas using Thread F.

Cut a length of thread 16 inches long and separate it into individual strands and thread a beading needle. You will only use 1 strand in your needle when attaching the seed beads.

After anchoring your thread, locate the intersections for the beads - they will be placed in the open areas between the blue cross stitch bars (see the 5 small x's on the right-hand side of the illustration).

Attach the beads by coming up through a hole at the designated intersection, passing the needle through the bead, and down into the canvas on the opposite side of the designated intersection. There are 5 beads per area.

Congratulations! Your project is now complete and can be removed from the stretcher bars and finished as a pillow, framed art, tote bag front - or however you choose.
