DIY beads elbow patch sweater

I love elbow patches, they are such a good decorative element. I decided to make my elbow patch of old beads scraps i had for a really long time. I used my boring and very simple cardigan i got in Matalan.
So I drew an oval shape on elbow with chalk and stared sewing beads on by hand. It does take time but, with a little patience and practise, it can be done.
Lay the beads out in the pattern you want, so you can see how it will look and to make sure you have enough beads. Nothing is more frustrating than being nearly finished with a beading project only to find that you don’t have enough beads.















































So lovely readers, what do you think?
