You can find free online instructions on couching, or creating a bezel for a cabochon using seed beads, also called bead embroidery. You may also wish to view the ''Cuff Bracelet with Paua Shell Cabochon and Seed Beads'' how-to video and instructions or the ''Triple-Strand Necklace with Embroidered Brooch/Pendant and Gold Chain'' how-to video and instructions that demonstrate this technique.

In addition to these projects, we also have many design inspirations using these seed bead techniques in the Gallery of Designs. to offer inspiration on what you can make with the techniques you have learned.

Here are some books that may help you with this subject:
