And then, how do you use the beads? Seeing them on a quilt would have been nice. Wild Heather is great!
Love, love, love this. However, I would love to see how it used on a quilt. Also, what is that white roll you used to place the fabrics on?
Would love to learn to make these beads!
Love this idea and technique. Can these beads get wet and will they maintain their shape afterwards?
Hi Allyson!
This can depend, and vary, with each different fabric used. To be safe, I would not recommend getting these wet. I would only use them on decorative or wall hanging quilts.
Have a great day!
