I’ve spent lots of time this week trying to get to grips with my ever-expanding work box! The problem with beading is that many projects require only a few beads of a certain shade for which, however hard you try to find existing beads from your stash, you never quite have the right shade/size so end up buying new tubes of beads. Consequently, I have many opened tubes of beads languishing in my work box. There are projects which use mixtures of (usually) left over beads, known in the beading world as a ‘bead soup’. My ‘Ribbon cuff’ is such a piece. I started with a right angle weave base (dead easy ‘cos this stitch is mainly space!) using shades of blue, green and yellow, then wove thin ribbon along its length. A recycled button and cube bead to secure the ribbon and ‘Bob’s your proverbial’! May even make another one, seeing as my work box is on a diet!
Hope you like..
