Freeform Bead Embroidery

Freeform Bead Embroidery

As I said before I really love freeform work.
I once even wrote a tutorial on freeform bead embroidery (in german).
First I show how to embroider beads (with explaining pictures).
Then I tell how to encase a piece of cardboard with your fabric to use as cheap alternative for an embroidery hoop (with explaining pictures too).
And in the end I show how to begin with your freeform embroidery (which for me is always the most difficult part) (with explaining pictures too).
The item on the picture is a bead embroidered button I once made.

Bead Crochet

Bead Crochet

I showed before a tutorial on crocheting bead ropes. These bead crochet instructions are different: this time you crochet something like a completely beaded fabric which you can use further for your projects. Use it e.g. for little purses.

Colourful Safety Pins Bracelet

I Am Momma - Hear Me Roar Colourful Safety Pins Bracelet

I really like the colourful safety pins bracelet!
I find it more interesting with the safety pins than the paper bead bracelet where the paper beads are hold together from elastic alone.
Making paper beads really is simple, especially if you use a (self-made) paper beads roller.
You can even give the paper beads a slightly different form if you like to or make the beads from fabric.
However, it’ll be an interesting and beautiful item ;-)

A propos: If the style of the bracelet seems familiar look here ;-)

Cardboard Bracelets

Fab You Bliss Cardboard Bracelets

Yesterday I presented the fabric hoop earrings which are made from wrapped cardboard.
Today I’d like to present the cardboard bracelets which you can immediately design to match the earrings :)

Flower Ring

we upcycle Flower Ring

I already presented plenty of rings, and even so time and again I find ideas that are new to me and that I like, like e.g. this cute ring from a fabric rose and some little beads :)

Bracelet Vase

FaveCrafts Bracelet Vase

Ok, up until now I thought that you can revamp old bracelets ‘only’ with fabric, beads, collages etc.
I’d never have had the idea to make a vase from bracelets ;-)

Knit and Felt a Knot Bracelet

resurrection fern Knit-Felted Bangle Bracelet

These knit-felted knot bracelets are cute, aren’t they?

I think that you can surely make them with filled I-cords, too, then they are more firm (only take care about what happens to the filling when felting with hot water!). In principle it’s what Sue suggested in her comment.

Or the whole thing may be even possible with a buttoned I-cord bracelet, where the original was made with beads. When using glass buttons or glass beads it should be no problem to felt it (but I haven’t tried it yet).

Possibly you can even use filled and felted I-cords to make a fabric bowl from?!

And when you felt some of the cords of the cute spaghetti scrap scarf it surely looks great, too.

Oof, soo many ideas ;-))
