If you're looking for a way to incorporate colorful fabric into your jewelry designs, this necklace is a great place to start. A simple bead embroidery technique creates a nice frame for the fabric Cynthia used and she glued a brass embellishment to the center for extra style. You can see more ideas for adding fabrics and fibers into your jewelry in this Artbeads Cafe Episode.
Cut a piece of your desired fabric to the desired size for a necklace focal. Our fabric is 1 3/4-inches wide by 1 3/4-inches high. Cut a piece of backing or textured felt to the same size and stitch the two pieces together. Cynthia used cotton batting between the two pieces for extra strength.
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
