I made this bead embroidery a few months ago. I used these ornate premade patterns seamstress usually use to decorate the cape of the Infant Jesus or the cape of Mother Mary. I used some seed beads, rhinestones, and pastel pink glass pearls. It actually took me the whole day to finish this. I might try making patterns for bead embroidery in the future. :)
