Boho Beads From Sari Scraps Tutorial

These beads were made from a beautiful high quality set of sari fabrics that I purchased from LovemeBlue on Etsy. She is UK based, but does ship internationally.

Hi Nina, love your beads! There beautiful!! I’m inspired...where can I get the straws?

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Hi Wanda. They are just paper straws. You can get them from Amazon and eBay 💕. If you search premium paper drinking straws, you can purchase 25 for 99p on eBay 💕

[@heyjude358]

They have them at the dollar stores too!@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia

[@joycemiller5363]

I have watched a lot of videos today to see how to make these and I have to say YOURs is the best... GREAT JOB!!!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thank you so much, that very nice to hear 💕

Hi Nina, Last year I saw one of your videos where you used the leather tassels at the end of wooden blocks and eye hooks. And diamond magic with little scale pictures on the wooden blocks. I have yet to make them but had all the supplies. I have been beading since I was 9 and I just turned 59 last year. This winter on cold days I had planned on making the blocks but now I see these and the materials I have on hand can also be used for these boho bead creations. Also I may take some of the blocks and not add a magazine photo and diamond magic but just leave the wooded block natural and spiral around with my beading wire some pretty beads. I think that would look very cool too or wrap it with fabric and to the same. From Amazon last year I bought the blocks in bulk instead of 20from the Dollar Tree I bought 50 for $3.00. Some are dark wood and some are plain oak. I adore all your ideas as many you already have the supplies in hand and even if you had to buy, they are budget friendly. I love this idea and 2 winters ago a friend whose fingers are getting very bad with arthritis gave me at least $300 worth of all her beads mostly the size of beads you used in the ends and top of your fabric covered straws. I have a few viles if seed beads too. I have needed a new idea for the beads too so this is wonderful. Another cool project. I do not have a television but on cold winter days I can put on my classical music, have a cup of coffee, sit on the sofa with my lap desk and make these.i am thrilled to have a new idea to make for gifts or to sew. My Mum gave me a cute box years ago to do as I wished with it and I will keep my finished boho ones in her box. When I have a few made I will give you a shout out and post them in Instagram. For the next few weeks I will be working evenings and weekends at my job but soon will make these. I do need a fresh bottle of glue and need to get paper straws. In NJ last month all the restaurants now have paper straws but Virginia still use plastic. Come in Virginia get with the program! Thank you for a new gun and exciting idea. Fondly, Rebekah I could not sleep I have terrible leg pain and I went to your sight and picked this one to watch. Your very talented and I love your videos. I love your voice. My Dad is from Oldham and waiting for their VISA the last 2 years before coming to the states in 1947 he lived in Manchester with his grandparents. When he went to school in the states no one could understand him as he had such a accent. They would not allow him to be in a school play that made him very sad.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Hi Rebekah. I love the idea of simply wrapping beads around plain blocks. I want to revisit some of these older projects nearer Christmas as they would make beautiful decorations for hanging from the tree. Hope your leg pain has gone. Happy Crafting 💕

[@sharonvanderpool4611]

[@ashphoenix5447]

Beautiful Nina. I was recently making some boho beads as well. I use extra book pages or scraps to make my own paper tube centers and then random scraps from my mom's quilting scraps. I use similar colored thin wire and seed beads and other book pages and fiber. I enjoy the the look of boho beads and you're right, they are very fun to make. Have a wonderful weekend.

The paper straws we’ve been getting from Starbucks here turn to mush within an hour of getting wet. But I can see how the ones from The party section at the dollar store could make good beads with some sealant. 😊

Lovely - such a good way for me to make a start on bead work using the tools and supplies I have been collecting over time. Great idea of one of your viewers to use rolled up book pages to make the straws - a real scrap project! Many thanks!
