Make a Beaded Scarf by Kristina

A beaded scarf is a guaranteed conversation piece, whether you're at work or relaxing on the weekend. You'll want to start with a long, woven scarf of any color/print that is light-weight (the kind easily found at Target or Old Navy).

Since most woven scarves are delicate, this row of stitching gives you a strong base to hold it all together.

Use the entire thickness of an embroidery strand. You don't want your thread breaking and sending your beads everywhere.

Pinch the end into a tight ball and wind thread around several times. Make your strands various lengths. I used 25 beads for the first row, 28 for the second and 31 for the third.

You can triple wrap the scarf like this or simply double-loop it for a fuller look. And that's it! Pretty easy, huh? Now go get a scarf and rock your mad sewing skills. =)
