Patchwork fabric beads

I wanted a really colorful and busy fabric bead.

So I created some patchwork pieces of fabric from scraps using my mosaic technique for fabric beads

Mosaic patchwork strips

I used a light green thread over all the fabrics for contrast.

The fabric that I created is stiff so I just rolled it up

And there you are - an embellished fabric bead.

Wider strips of fabric create longer beads
