Bead Embroidery Japanese Style - Advanced Beginner Level - Bumble Mini Diva Wallet (MINI Wallet design © Mary Alice Sinton)

The Bumble Mini Diva Wallet is done in Japanese bead embroidery method and is an entry-level piece. Bead Embroidery in the Japanese method incorporates silk embroidery techniques translated with beads. The Tula Pink Bumble fabric comes in three colorways with a Green (Jade), Coral or Aqua (Turquoise) Bumble. A variety of Tri-cuts and glass seed beads make up the palettes, but the challenge was combining the right four hues of beads to create the look of shading and the 3-D effect on each Bumble. Coordinating lining fabrics and zipper are included in this kit. This piece can be stitched on stretcher bars.
