To work, you need a thick fabric with a clear image of a saint, which will ensure good fixation of the beads.
And also, selected according to the color scheme depicted on the fabric, high-quality beads, a needle for working with them, a hoop, monofilament, scissors, a plastic box and a tray with a rough coating.
Carefully secure the fabric to the hoop.
We carefully scatter the beads of the desired color on the tray and set up a box for the defective one.
We fix the monofilament on the wrong side. You need to make a knot.
We stick the needle between the threads, without bringing it to the front side.
We bring the needle to the lower right point on the fabric.
Using a needle from the tray, string beads of the desired color.
We stick the needle with beads diagonally, bringing it to the wrong side. On the wrong side, make a downward vertical stitch, on the front side, at the lower right depicted point for the next bead.
So we gradually embroider a row horizontally.
We embroider the next row in the opposite direction.
When the monofilament runs out, we secure it to a knot.
Insert the needle between the stitches.
We cut the monofilament with scissors.
We go around the places not marked with dots on the fabric, filling the fabric with the indicated colors diagonally further.
We also continue beading on the other side.
We continue to embroider until we fill all the marked places on the fabric with beads.
The finished product must be ironed along the embroidery.
Place the embroidery in cellophane to avoid contamination.
To decorate embroidery in a framing workshop, you need to select an icon case.
