Tatting with beads – a great way to decorate lace. Tatters are very creative masters. Do you agree? To create lace products, not only threads are used. For the realization of new ideas, tat-artists often use unexpected materials. For example, looks great tatting patterns with zigzag ribbon.
Else beads, rhinestones, and cabochons are relevant additions too. The desire to realize new ideas inspired talented artists to create new techniques in tatting. Angelina Rozanova, her daughter Ekaterina (Rina) Stepnaya and Anjella Safonova is talented masters and autors ANKARS tehnique. At present the works of ANKARS masters look further removed from tatting than at the beginning (some twenty years ago), and the difference lies in technique: innovative methods, new elements, and a new approach.
Nina G. Libin connected in new art form two elements widely used since ancient times – Beads and Knots . This is tehnique BEANILE .
I love tatting with beads too. Some projects cannot be imagined without beads. For example, this collar for dress. I called it “Sea glass.” Whimsical Pattern reminds me Whirlwind of Sea Waves. White Beads shine in the Sun.
I sometimes use beads with thin holes in my projects. It is difficult to put such beads on a needle with thread. Doubly folded thread does not pass through such a little hole. Maybe my little trick comes in handy. 🙂
You will need: PVA glue, scissors and 5 minutes of your time!
First step :
soak the end of the thread with glue.
Second step:
gently spread the glue over the thread, as if forming a needle.
Third step:
Hang the end of the thread vertically and allow the glue to dry (5-10 minutes).
Fourth step:
Cut the thread obliquely, imitating the tip of the needle.
Fifth step:
Carefully string the beads onto a thread, using the end of the thread as a needle.
So, voila! We are ready to create lace masterpieces!

What a great idea! I’ve been working with beads and crocheting and could use this there, too.
Thank You, Daphne!
You’re welcome!
Your opinion is very important for me to make my blog better. I appreciate it very much!
I learnt this trick from Nina Libin – she calls it needle thread I think. Your stepwise pictorial and instructions are very helpful.
Thanks 💗
