FASHION WITH BEADS (2)

LONG BEADS CHAIN

Long chain of beads or bead garland (you can say) looks very nice on girls wearing printed dresses, casual tops or kurties. Buy large size beads for making chains. We usually do threading with two folds of thread in case of sewing or stitching. In this case make the thread four folds and make a long garland with beads. After the completion of threading tie the two ends of the thread very strongly so that it do not become loose and untied.

Style Tips:-

Long chain of same color but different size beads looks very trendy with a matching dress. Same chain of vibrant red or black can be wore with any dress. Long chain of multicolor and same or different size beads adds a bohemian touch with printed dresses. Long chain of metallic color small size beads adds an ethnic touch with long or short same color party dresses.



WRISTLETS

Wristlets are made in the same way as long chain. But thin rubber bands or elastic or metal wire should be used as thread in place of nylon one.

Style Tips:-

Large same size beads should be bought for wristlets. One color, bi-color or multicolor beads are in fashion.

BELTS

Beads belts can make your waist line very attractive. It is very easy to make. Just follow the following guide-lines.

First Line:-

1. Buy crystal beads of small size and round shaped. Color should be according to your choice.

2. Take a nylon thread of long length. Fold it once (i.e. two fold). Then pass it through the hole of the needle (i.e. four fold) and knot the ends strongly for twice or thrice so that this big knot can’t pass through the hole of beads. Cut the excess of thread after the knot with scissors.

3. Take four beads and make a ring (Pass the four beads through needle and then thread up to the knot at the last end. Then pass the needle through the hole of the bead adjacent to the knot).

4. Then take three beads and make another ring(Pass the three beads through needle and thread till the end. Then pass the needle through the hole of the bead where the needle was actually. And then pass the same through the second and third bead).

5. Take three beads and make another (third) ring.

6. Take three beads to make fourth ring. The process of making rings will continue in this way until the chain of rings reaches to the measurement of your waist.

Second Line:-

1. After completion of the above step, take the needle to your right hand side through the side by bead.

2. Take three beads and make a ring beside the chain from the side by bead. And take the needle before this ring through the beads.

3. Take two beads and make a ring. Continue the above step again. Take two beads and continue the same to make the third ring of second line.

4. Complete this line in the same process. You may add as much lines as you wish in this way.

5. You can buy beads of water drop shape having side holes at the end of it. And join these beads with the bottom line of the above belt maintaining a certain distance with needle and thread.

6. Tie the hooks with strong stitches at the two ends of the belt. Or you can tie zari-made thin ropes for buttoning the belt.

Belts with pearl color beads can be wore with modern zari-work chiffon saris. The same goes well with dresses of all colors and prints.
