I just started beading recently, and I don't really know much. One of my friends showed me the basics, & now I'm just figuring it out as I go. So I have some questions.
*I started beading a headband, and I'm half way done. But, the material I used is a very thin cotton material stretched out on one of those stitching hoops.
-Will be beadwork look better if I use a different type of material? What would you suggest?
-Since the material is thin, will it affect how long my beadwork lasts? (When I'm done, I'm going to sew it onto something thick like leather or felt for something.)
*Does anyone have any tips to make my beadwork look nice and flat? I used the method of stringing on three beads, then going back through the last two. & sometimes some of the beads sort of pop up or stick out.
Okay, well thank you in advance for your advice & tips. Any helpful tips would be awesome.
