There is a new product from Tulip that I have been really excited to try. It's called "Beads in a Bottle." Ever since I heard about it I've been scheming some ideas of how to use it. Today I'm going to show you this beaded clutch I made.
I have this fabric that I've been saving because I love it so much. Today I whipped it out and sewed a quick clutch out of it.
Then I embellished the flap of the clutch with the Beads in a Bottle Paint. It comes in a tube and you squeeze it out, forming little dots that end up looking like you stitched on beads. I took some scratch paper and practiced a little bit before doing it on the purse. The instructions are easy. When you first pull upward it looks more like a raindrop (pointed at the top) but then it settles down and dries like a round bead. It's really fun stuff and it comes in lots of colors.
You can use it to create designs on plain fabric, but I thought it would be fun to add it to a patterned fabric like this. I only embellished the flap of the clutch because I thought it looked more authentic that way.
Here's a closeup of what it ends up looking like.
Perfect for a girl's night out.
Thanks for reading.

ReplyDeleteThat is so neat! I can already picture a few things I would use this for :) EEP!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, I just can't get past "whipped it out and sewed a quick clutch" without laughing--as if you were folding laundry or something! You're amazing, Cheri. I don't attempt much of what you do here because, honestly, I'm just not that crafty (and even more lazy). But I love to read every day and see what you've cooked up next. It's very inspiring, even to the craft-impaired. Thanks for sharing your talents! (P.S. I did make treat jars like yours for my husband for Christmas and he loved them.)
ReplyDeleteI love how simple and cute this is! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAnd in the spirit of sharing, I saw this print and thought of your boys' room! It's so cute I might need it (grown woman with no kids :P )
