Scrapbooking Tip Bead Bundles

     Bead bundles are a great idea for bracelet charms, necklaces, and scrapbook pages.
     1) Collect felt in your favorite colors or to match a project you are working on.
     2) Cut the felt in squares all the same size.
     3) Spray each square one at a time with adhesive spray and stack on top of each other. Let them dry overnight.
     4) Cut them in smaller squares and rectangles with a rotary cutter. Be very careful while doing this--I almost cut off the tip of my finger!
     5) Find a big 3" darning needle and slowly drive the needle through the center of the square.
     6) Find an embroidery needle that will go through small beads.
     7) Take a double strand of embroidery floss and wrap it like a present making sure to take the needle through the center hole.

     8)Sew or glue two beads to the top of the bundle.

     You can leave a tail on the bead so you can tie it onto a bracelet.
     I made some of my beads in only two or three layers so they would be flat enough for an ATC card or a scrapbook page.
