Fiber Bead Charm Bracelet

I made this fiber bead bracelet today. First I made the beads out of blue/yellow batik fabric. To make the beads cut strips of fabric 1 inch wide by 6 inches long and wrap each strip around a bamboo skewer. Secure the end with gel medium. After the gel medium dries wrap a small piece of fibers (I use that crazy yarn they make scarves out of) and glue it around the fabric bead with the gel medium. Next mix the fiber beads with glass beads and colored shell beads on head pins to create charms. I used a patina copper bracelet and head pins for something a little different. I like the look and plan to make a necklace in the future using the patina copper findings.
