🧰 Quick Tips!
Before you start beading your hearts, here's a few tips & tricks to help you along your way.
🫙 Pour a few beads at a time into your bead sorting tray so they're easy to pick up and don't roll away.
🪡 Use your reinforced needle threaders to get your thread through the fine beading needles.
🧵 Keep your felt tight in the hoop and pull each stitch snug, so your beads and sequins sit flat.
⏳ Take your time! Feel free to make one heart at a time across a few sessions. Remember crafting is all about enjoying the journey!
