Accessories with their own hands: beads made of fabric

Summer is the very time when colors and emotions do not happen much, and I really want that not only the internal state fully correspond to this trend, but that the message is bright and cheerful in summer. Unfortunately, many of us are forced to spend at least most of this wonderful time of the year at work, and there is no need to talk about the freedom of choice of toilets, but no one will prevent us from transmitting moods with accessories: even if one does not manage to put on bright and bold things To work, they easily fit into any handbag and will replace the strict office at any time.

As you know, beads, earrings, bracelets, rings and such pleasant little things do not happen much, especially in the summer - only their high cost can be a problem, so for many, an excellent solution may be the decision to make accessories yourself. To begin with, it's not at all necessary to invent something of your own, the original one - you can completely dispense with ideas that have been looked at somewhere.

For example, a great idea for needlework is the fabric beads. Making such accessories with their own hands is easy and simple, the material for their manufacture can be found in every house, and the space for creativity is phenomenally wide - here you can safely experiment with the shape, color and size of both beads and the future product. Beads for them can be made in several ways:

• Take a strip of fabric of the necessary width, sew it from the wrong side and cut into small pieces; On each side, sweep around the perimeter of the hole, tighten the thread and unscrew it, fill it with filler and sew it on the other side, fixing the cut inwards. Thus, you can get smooth beads oval, round or cylindrical shape. In this way, you can wrap already existing wooden or plastic beads. If the soft beads are quilted, then they will be obtained with a relief surface. Also they can be decorated with embroidery, beads or paillettes.

• Take the circles cut from the fabric about the same radius as the diameter of the beads are needed. Piece of tissue to collect on a needle, do not tighten completely, fill with filler, fill the edges of the fabric inwards and tighten completely. The surface of such beads will be uneven in any case, so it makes sense to squish them to give a bizarre relief. Beads are round. They can be decorated in exactly the same way as in the first case.

• Also you can use not beads, but flowers, for example, made from the same circles cut from the fabric: the circle around the perimeter is swept away, the thread is not tightened to the end, the edges of the fabric are hidden inside, the thread is tightened and the needle is removed from the other side in the center. The middle can be decorated at its discretion with a bead, rhinestone, embroidery or sequin to hide the stitches.

Also a good idea to start making accessories yourself - knitted beads. They knit crocheted yarn from multicolored yarn in a circle and are stuffed with cotton wool or thread, like sewn beads. It is knitted beads often made for infants - they are bright, safe and eco-friendly, only in this case it is necessary to give maximum attention to securely fastening them among themselves.

The basis for beads can serve as ribbons or braids of them, decorative cords or a fishing line or string. Such beads can alternate with ordinary ones, from plastic, metal, wood or stones, with buttons or brooches. If as a basis a fishing line or thread is taken, the beads are stitched through, as if put on a needle, and if tapes or braid are sewn. In any case, to make these accessories with their own hands means to receive an amazing beauty of an exclusive thing, while spending a minimum of funds and efforts.
