Make Beads out of Fabric

2021-11-24T19:44:00.005-08:00

Use left over craps of fabric, mod podge, a paint brush and a pencil to make beautiful colorful beads! Cut fabric the length of pencil, on opposite side of fabric paint on glue, then roll pencil tightly on fabric. Take rolled fabric off pencil. Let dry about 20 minutes then cut into fabric beads. Slide pencil in center of cut bead to open hole. Let dry completely. To make smaller beads roll around chopsticks or end of paint brush.

Bead Tools

2012-12-02T14:01:00.000-08:00

It is great to have the right tools if you want to make jewelry.
Here are some of the tools I use.
Needle nose pliers, round nose pliers, cutters, and scissors.
For bracelets I use stretch string and for necklaces I use bead wire. They come in different thicknesses depending on the size hole of your beads.
You tube- bead tools

E-6000 glue is great to use for all kinds of crafts! You need a well vented area. Do not get on your hands. I use an end of a wire, to apply on small areas.

A Bead Palette helps beads to be stable so you can make your patters and measure length.

This web sight Beadaholique has some great "how to" videos.

Bead Ideas
Beads for bracelets, earrings and charms can come from different sources. I like to get beads from old jewelery, hobby stores, garage sales and goodwill stores. It is exciting to find some beads that are a good quality, for a low price. Color combination's are fun to create. There are so many shapes and sizes of beads to choose from. Beads can be made from stone, rocks, crystals, glass, gems, plastic, shells, and more.

Mixing, matching, and layering bracelets can look good. Stretch string makes them easy to slip on and off.

I have been making creations with beads off and on for 15 years. I like to learn new techniques and styles. I use a lot of shapes, sizes, and colors of beads. Making jewelry can become a business or done on your own leisure time as a hobby. Here is some of my jewelry in the past. I am getting more advanced as I learn more.

Here are some of the findings I use to make my jewelery. I get them from the craft stores and off old jewelery. There is so many different styles and metals; like: gold, silver, black, and copper findings.

When I make bracelets, I love to use stretch magic string. I put a knot at the end, bead my string, then tie it tight. It is easy to put around your wrist.

My Homemade Jewelry Packaging

2012-03-14T22:14:00.000-07:00

When you give as gifts or sell jewelry, it is nice to have attractive packaging.

I wanted to make my jewelry pop.

I used cards, stickers, decorative scissors, and scrapbook paper.

People who look at your jewelery appreciate attractive packaging is a good idea to boost your sales.

I poked holes with a pin through the cards and put the earrings on.

Use your creativity. There are so many ideas to choose from. I liked vintage designs.

Cut head pin 3/4 inches away from bend with cutters.

This is what they should look like.

With round nose pliers holding as close to the end of pin, twist to make a loop. This will take some practice.

This is what it should look like.

Open jump ring and place in hoop of earring, then close jump ring with needle nose pliers.

This is what it should look like.

Open bottom hoop in the earring post and place jump ring in post, then close with needle nose pliers.

Using Wire to make Jewelry

2012-01-20T16:10:00.000-08:00

Here is some of the wire I use to make my jewelry. Craft wire come is a lot of different thicknesses and strengths. I use memory wire for large hoops, silver plated wire, and different color wire for my creations.

Here are some of my creations. I get a lot of my ideas off the internet and you tube. Using wire can be fun and challenging.

I have been making beaded jewelry off and on for 15 years. My Mom gave me some wire and beads for a gift. I had no idea how to use wire. So I went on you-tube and they had some great tutorials on how to make wire wrap jewelry. Thanks you-tube!!

Bead Scarf Fashion

2012-01-19T18:04:00.000-08:00

Some scarves have crazy designs that are hard to match with jewelry!

Here is a earth tone scarf. Just mix and match.

Here is a zebra and tiger duo print.

This is one of my favorite scarves. I bought it recently. I love the colors! I have not worn this one yet, I plan to in the spring.

I found this shirt on a $1 rack at a consignment store; what a find! When I wear it I get a lot of complements on it.

This blue and green is bright and beautiful. I have had this scarf for many years, just throw in the wash and add some fabric softener; It will be like new!

Mix and match beaded jewelry is a great idea for fashion!
