May 17, 2023. Working with Fabric Beads

Late start this morning.  I stayed up late last night crafting.

Another warm, sunny day but there are clouds.  

There are 24 National Holidays today...everything from National Walnut Day to National Bike to School Day to National Cherry Cobbler Day!  

I have been having fun with the fabric beads that I shared with you earlier...


And the braided fabric scraps...

I wrapped the fabric beads with lots of different shiny embroidery/crochet thread securing the ends with tacky glue.  


I also wrapped the fabric braids similarly and then put them together into an ornament which I am still working on...


I am also adding a weaving element with wire...

I want to hang things off the wire when I've finished weaving it around the ornament.  I am learning the process with this example so that I will be able to tweak it to fix any problems that I encounter...and believe me, there are several.  It is interesting and fun.

Are you crafting anything?  Do you have a beautifully finished product the first time you attempt something?  Or, are you like me, the first time I attempt something it is a learning process and the finished product may not be the best?  Either way, I hope you enjoy the crafting process as much as I do...

Talk with you tomorrow...
