I made some lace scarves recently. I'm using vintage lace and hand beading fringe on them.
I beaded my fingers to the bones making them for friends and co-workers around the holidays last year. I thought I'd put some in our Etsy shop to see if there is any interest in them there. You can see more pictures here.
I hope your week is going well!

Scarves Galore
Here's some scarves that I made and little about each one.
I found the chiffon fabric on a clearance table for $1.00/yd at Hancock.. Gotta love the clearance fabric!
The beads are a mix of new purchased and some that I salvaged from taking apart vintage jewelry that was either broken or ugly. The beading was tedious but the results were really worth it. After making a few different ones from bought fabric I decided to try one from a vintage lace table cloth.
All of these 'pearls' are from vintage necklaces that I disassembled with some gold and pearl seed beads mixed in. I did a different one with a heavier lace table cloth, but I sold all of them to coworkers. Lots of female family members of my coworkers got handmade scarves for Christmas last year. I suppose if scarves stay in style till next Christmas I'll be back in the business again!
