1-inch wooden beads

Directions:
Cut the fabric so the length is 55 inches and the width is 5 inches. If your fabric isn't long enough, you can piece together swatches to make the right length.

Sew the sides of the fabric together to form a tube leaving the ends open.

Turn the tube inside out.

Take a 1-inch wooden bead and slide the bead to center of tube.

Hold the bead tightly to mark center. Tie a tight knot on each side of center bead. Repeat process until you have about 8 beads inside fabric.

Sew ends closed on a sewing machine.

Leave enough fabric on the ends to tie it around your neck , about 11 to 12 inches total.
