Tambour beading is a decorative embroidery technique that involves stitching beads onto fabric using a small hook called a tambour hook. This method allows for the creation of intricate designs and patterns, as the beads are attached to the fabric in a quick and efficient manner. The process typically involves stretching the fabric over a frame, which keeps it taut while the beading is applied. Tambour beading is often used in fashion and textile arts, enhancing garments and accessories with shimmering embellishments that add texture and visual interest.
