Monogram

It was my friend's birthday about 2 weeks ago and I found this button monogram while I was on Pinterest. It inspired me to try my own, but with beads since I already have lots of them.


I used white cardboard, cut it in the size I wanted, about A3 paper size. Then I marked the center with a pencil and started drawing the letter S.
I tried not to make it too wide because I wanted to have enough white space between the letter and the frame. Then I just started gluing the beads starting from the right top and all the way till the end of the letter.
I used normal beads and UHU glue which was perfect becoz it dries out quickly and doesn't really leave any trace.
When I finished I picked out this lace pink ribbon for the frame and glued it also using UHU.
And that's it! :)
Fairly easy to make it just takes a little patience to glue the small beads and to be precise on the edges of the letter.

Scarf DIY




Hello everyone!
I've started knitting :D and here's my first product... this very cheerful scarf! I knitted the whole scarf first with 8mm needles and 100% acrylic yarn. Then I bought those small pompoms and sew them into the center line of the scarf. And voilĂ ! It took me about 4 to 5 days of knitting (i'm a beginner) and the sewing about an hour, cause I hand sew it.


It's a great gift for a friend! And very easy to make :)
