Reader Challenge: 100 Beads in 1 Weekend
by Sharilyn Miller

The editor of Belle Armoire recently made 100 rollup beads in just one weekend—beautiful beads to use in both jewelry arts and artistic garments. It’s such a fun, easy project, we decided to offer it as our next Reader Challenge. Make your own rollup beads using fabric, paper, paint, wire, fibers, beads and charms, or found objects—and use them in your next art-to-wear project. Send us your best efforts, and we’ll publish the best submissions we receive in a future issue of Belle Armoire.
