(1) Beads – you can sew most beads to fabric. I use seed beads because they are small but these instructions should work for most beads.
(2) Beading Needle – these are longer and thinner than regular needles so they can go through small beads like seed beads. However, they are weaker than most needles so they can bend and break more easily. Make sure you don’t use a fabric that is too thick or tough (like leather, vinyl, etc..) because it will ruin the needle.
(3) Beading thread – you can buy special beading thread (usually nylon) that is coated and specially protects the thread from fraying, knotting and tangling.
(4) Fabric – and fabric you want to bead that isn’t too thick (if using a beading needle)
