That sounds like something called ‘peyote stitch’.
Here’s an inspiring website that shows how to do that one, plus other ways of sewing beads together.

If you are not familiar with the stitching techniques, this project is probably beyond you.Whenever I make a butterfly pin, I stitch it on buckram. It is a stiff backing that you stitch the beading onto.

you can do something like that with peyote stitch i suppose, or you can apply beads one at a time onto a fabric backing until you have covered it similar to embroidery only with beads, try about.com
