Ever since I saw these on Pinterest, I knew that I would have to make them. Finally, my son arrived from Chicago with the beads that I ordered. I can probably get the beads in town here somewhere but couldn't locate them on the Internet so I did the next best thing. Anyhow, they are one inch diameter wooden beads.
The silk is from one of my husband's old ties. The project is a little labor intensive as you have to carefully take the tie apart. I will never see a tie and not think about the complicated construction again.
The tutorial to make these is
here which is the way that I have made it in the pictures above. I like the knots that separate the beads... and it's less work! I have three more sets of beads to use and I'm going to try some cheap silk scarves I purchased from ebay next.
