I have made several pairs of fully beaded lazy stitched cuffs. I always bead on canvas. I think its alot easier than wool or leather. As for making them stiff, I use at least two layers of thick canvas. I then glue calico fabric on the back with fabric glue. This is usually stiff enough, but if its not, you can glue interfacing (I think that's how its spelled) between the canvas and the calico. You can get interfacing at any fabric store.
