Bead work-- Page 5 --
According to the closeness of the lines, the number of beads between each diagonal line must be even, or divisible by 3. When the first row is finished, fasten the wire to the edge, after the second or third bead, and thread the same number as before and fasten after the second or third bead at the other side. Fill all the angles in this way, winding the wire once around each line that it crosses, keeping the number of beads at each side of the trellis equal. The ends of the band are generally finished with a large " cabachon " made with pearls or contrasting beads. Net blouses for evening wear, spangled with beads, are also very easy to make. In Brussels net the meshes run in straight lines and in angles to each other, and it is an easy thing to form geometrical designs by simply following the lines in any way selected. The beads are fastened in place with a knot stitch for each, so that in the event of one getting pulled off, others near it may not fall off too, as is the case with the bought beaded net. Beaded fringes for edging draperies are so easily made that there is no need to describe them.
