Bead Craft Ideas...

Hi folks!! Beads have undoubtedly, since their time of invention, been primarily used for making jewellery. But their versatility regarding the material, size, shape, colour and finish has made it very much possible for them to be used for many many other decorative purposes. 

No doubt that you would have come across beaded curtains, fringes, tassels, woven bead mats and coasters, chandeliers, etc. And you would also be familiar with the multiple ways it is used with fabric to embellish your outfits – dupatta borders, beaded-embroidered patches, kundan and stone bead appliques, crochet with beads, latkans, beaded blouse hemming, etc.

For my next post at BeadsnFashion, I have thought of and come up with a range of interesting bead craft ideas – for using beads in crafting and home decor. You would be enthralled to find how simple it is to make these projects and yet how stunning they turn out to be. 

Apart from the leafy tree above, I have made the following for the first part in an upcoming series:
