    Fabric Tube Necklace or Headband

    Designed by Twila Lenoir

    I made this for my outfit but my daughter stole it for a head band.

    Enjoy !

    Tube Necklace


    Supplies:
  • Lightweight material(2x31 inch strip)


  • 10 Clear or gold pony bead


  • Tube Necklace or Headband


    Instructions:

    Fold your fabric in half the long way, right sides together. Sew a 1/4 inch seam allowance on one short end and along the entire length, leaving the other short end open. Turn right side out.

    Step 1:

    Put a pony bead on the outside of the material as if you are threading the bead with your fabric.

    Step 2:

    Take a big bead and push it into the opening of the fabric tube. Feed the bead through to the middle with your fingers.

    Step 3:

    Now for the cool part - put another pony bead on and push tightly to form a material bead. Follow these steps again until all your beads are used. Make sure you end with a pony bead on each end. Stich your end closed and tie a bow in the back.

    Rather than use large beads IN the fabric tube, I use cotton balls. It adds no weight and gives a nice SOFT but puffy look. My granddaughter chews on it sometimes when I am holding her and she is teething.

    The way I read this is you need 10 pony beads PLUS BIG BEADS? these instructions are not very descriptive.

    I agree that there is one step missing from these instructions. I'm guessing the pony beads would be to separate the larger beads but you'd want to make sure your separator beads would have a big enough hole to get the sewn fabric strip through.

    Alison, try using a thinner piece of fabric or making a smaller seam allowance. Perhaps using beads with wider holes would work bettere as well.

    Hi,
    I'm trying this at home but can't fit the fabric through the pony beads?
    Any suggestions?
    thank you,
    Alison
