Project Pattern PDF is here: Beaded Pomegranate
Slow stitching season just got richer.
Join Nichole Vogelsinger of Wild Boho as she walks you through a beautifully layered pomegranate embroidery filled with texture, shine, and dimension. This is a smaller scale project designed for a 5 inch hoop, making it approachable, relaxing, and deeply satisfying to stitch.
Nichole shows how to blend satin stitch embroidery with thoughtful bead placement to build depth from the outside in. You will learn how to mix matte and shiny threads, choose bead finishes that play well together, and use seed beads, bugles, and larger accent beads to create a sculptural surface that truly comes alive.
This tutorial covers
Pattern transfer and fabric placement
Thread selection and color blending for rich jewel tones
Satin stitch techniques for smooth coverage
Beading methods that add height and movement
How to create natural looking dimension with clustered beads
Simple finishing tips for a clean hoop back
A clever trick for removing transfer lines
Beads featured include John Bead Miyuki seed beads in size 8 and size 11, Toho beads, and bugle beads, all used intentionally to create contrast and depth without overwhelming the design.
This project is perfect for cozy evenings, thoughtful gifting, or anyone looking to slow down and enjoy the rhythm of stitching. Each finished piece will be completely unique, just like a real pomegranate.
