From Jennifer VanBenschoten, former About.com Guide

There are many materials that you can choose from when doing bead embroidery. To get you started, this is what we will use for this simple tutorial:

• 1 small piece of Lacy's Stiff Stuff bead embroidery medium
• Size 11 seed beads
• Bugle beads
• Freshwater pearls
• Nymo beading thread
• Size 12 beading needle
• Permanent marker
• Embroidery scissors

Using the permanent marker, draw a line to serve as a guide on your piece of Lacy's Stiff Stuff.
