Beading it Up
Have you got old clothes in your closet that have gone out of season but are still in love with? Don’t you just wish you could do something to spice it up a little to make it look new again? Well you completely can! It is all pure and simple! All you need is some beads in all the perfect colors and voila! It is going to be as good as brand new! You will never know the power that a few dainty handmade glass beads and some thread can do for your attire. Now take your time to sort out those old garments, give away those that are no good for you anymore, and keep those that you can still spice up through beadwork.
Are you not pleased how a few beadworks can save everyone a bunch of cash in buying new clothes? You will find all the materials you need at your local bead stores or craft shops. There are so many things you can gain benefit from it. Now let us start with some tips we can use in spicing up that hideous and plain wardrobe.
Have you got a blouse with a uninteresting, faded print? Why not highlight that print by stitching some beads on their outline and straight into the cloth? You may certainly be amazed by the amazing results.
Do not be worried if your old wardrobe has complex swirls or plain cuff trims because whether or not it is a blouse, a couple of old jeans, sweaters, tank tops, tees, coats or jackets ; beads will continue to be a fun and classy way to bring out your standard wardrobe.
Beadwork doesn’t only do wonders on old garments, it’s also just about popular as an accessory. If you want to give a new look to your clothes, a few striking accessories on the neck, ears, wrist and fingers will certainly do the job. Or you can add beads to your handbags, gloves, scarves, slippers, hats and even head bands!
Having a quiet dinner with your other half or some friends? Are you dying to make a statement as a host? Aside from the calming cast of candlelight over your silverware, you can also jazz it up by stitching some shiny and glittery beads on your placemats, napkins, hang some on your candelabrum or your centerpieces.
There are limitless ways to creatively use those beads even in your own home! Stitch them on your towels and pillows, or your blankets and curtains, even on wall sconces and candle holders. Make your door appear more inviting by draping it with a curtain made out of pretty bead strands. There are thousands of simple beaded jewelry making tutorials that you can find online to give you some inspiration and ideas.
Also, always remember to hand wash your beaded items. Never put those in a washer or else you’ll never see that beautiful and intricate beadwork again!
