    Gimme the Mother Lode of Beading Tutorials!

    ....I forgot to say "PLZ" and "i can has?"

    Since I'm afraid I might be unemployed until I am old enough to retire from my own unemployment, it is my goal to learn how to make my own costumes during my down time. It's been awhile since I've challenged myself to take up a new skill!

    I already know the basics of bra and belt construction, but beading still remains a mystery. I'd really appreciate any helpful resources and tutorials on DIY fringe, Sim-like flatwork, and other skills that are used in the blinging and bejeweling process.

    And I promise to post pics of my progress if you promise not to laugh

    Also check out Ozma's costumes fan page on facebook.

    Most craft stores will carry beading magazines, but don't dive into those until you know the basics.

    Spend a lot of time looking at your favorite costumes and stealing close-ups of costumes for sale on the swap meet...if it's not an off limits zone.
