To do this beaded edge I stitched the red beads on first and then went around again putting the needle through a red bead and then picking up a green a gold and a green bead before putting the needle through the next red bead…I then, because the beads were flopping all over the place and wouldn’t sit flat, I went around again and stitched the gold beads to the backing.
I only had to stitch the hanger onto the back of this Santa pocket to finish it.

I can tell you’ve made a few, because I wouldn’t have thought to put the extra beads in the ‘corners’ the way you did, but it was really necessary. This is a great idea. Did you come up with it, or read about it in a craft magazine? Is it something that’s been done in your family for a long time?

I love these beaded edgings, Annie. They look like little strings of Christmas lights around each star. Thanks for the idea!
