Fabric beads..take 1

Well, I spent a couple of hours this afternoon learning to make fabric beads. I have to say that my first attempts were not that great but after about 2 or 3 beads, I started getting the hang of it and they have turned out pretty cute. The oval beads which are simply fabric wrapped around a straw and coated with gloss mod-podge are turning out really cute. The wooden beads wrapped in fabric are actually a bit more difficult..takes a bit of trimming and work to get the fabric tucked into the holes and neatly overlapping near the ends but I've done about 3 of those and each one looks better and gets quicker. It is a good use of my very small scraps which is nice! I'll post some pictures tomorrow after they dry and I can string some on a cord for a necklace...
