All Beaded Up

Have you got old garments in your closet that have gone out of season but are still in love with?  Don't you wish you might do something to spice it up a little bit to make it look new again?  Well you absolutely can!  It is all pure and simple!  All you need is a few beads in all the perfect colors and voila!  It will be as good as brand new!  You won't ever know the power 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 boost through beadwork. 

Are you not pleased how a few beadworks can save you a lot of money in buying new clothes?  You'll find all the materials that you need at your local bead stores or craft shops. There are so many things you can gain advantage from it.  Now let us begin with a few tips we can use in spicing up that horrible and plain wardrobe. 

Do you have a blouse with a boring, faded print?  Why not highlight that print by stitching some beads on their outline and right into the cloth?  You will certainly be dazzled by the fantastic results. 

Don't be worried if your old wardrobe has intricate swirls or plain cuff trims because whether it is a blouse, a pair of old jeans, sweaters, tank tops, tees, coats or jackets ; beads will still be a fun and classy way to bring out your normal wardrobe. 

Beadwork does not only do wonders on old clothes, it is also just about well-liked as an accessory.  If you'd like to give a new look to your clothes, some 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 partner or some friends?  Are you dying to make a statement as a host?  Apart from the calming cast of candlelight over your silverware, you may jazz it up by sewing some shiny and glittery beads on your placemats, serviettes, 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, never forget to hand wash your beaded items.  Never put those in a washing machine or else you will never see that beautiful and intricate beadwork again!
