FABRIC BEADS

How nice to have beautiful and original jewelry that no one else has. And if you make them yourself, then wearing such jewelry is doubly nice. I want to share my workshop on making beads from beads and fabric, which I made for myself. I hope you enjoy them too.
To do this, take: some fabric, large and small beads, felt, decorative cord, clasp (sold in sewing stores), synthetic winterizer.
The design and color of the beads can be any. I had a plaid fabric and to it I picked up brown beads, burgundy felt and brown lace.

We fold a rectangular piece of fabric in half or cut small rectangles out of it, which we also fold in half. We sew them on the machine on the opposite side from the fold. The resulting rectangles with sides of about 2 - 2.5 and 3.5 - 4 cm.
Then we shorten one more side and twist. We fill the rectangle with a synthetic winterizer and sew it up. It turns out rollers. Such rollers need 7 pieces.

From felt we cut out small flowers, 1 cm in diameter. 14 flowers will be required.

Now let's start collecting the beads. We put a red thread or thin fishing line into the needle and collect the beads in the following order: a small bead - a felt flower - a roller - a felt flower - a small bead - a large bead - a small bead - a felt flower, etc.

The last should again be a small bead. But before putting the last beads on the fishing line on both sides, we sew the waxed cord. You will need approximately a cord with a length of 80-100 cm. Cut the cord into two identical parts, and then fold them in half. Sew to the beads from two ends.

Then we put a bead on the lace and tie a knot. After two centimeters, another 1-2 beads can be fixed in the same way.

Felt flowers do not bristle nicely, so they can be carefully and invisibly sewn to the rollers with a simple red thread. Now we fasten the clasp. Beads are ready.

Beads of 6 rollers and 5 large beads are not very long - just below the jugular fossa (hollows between the collarbones). If you want longer beads, you just need to use more details. Long beads can also be decorated with a flower or bow made of fabric and felt to match.
