I can't get enough of the kantha cloth...it calls to me from my stash. For this necklace I used three templates I made from a Tagua nut necklace I purchases at Tessuti Zoo in Pacific Grove, CA. I've made other necklaces using this shape because I think it's bold without being overpowering. I cut out two different pieces of kantha for each pattern piece so it is reversible. I kept the edges unfinished; I still love that look. The other side has lots of dark colors that didn't show up well in…

How to Make Fabric Covered Beads: If you have scrap fabric you are not really sure what to do with, or you want to make something to match that out fit you just made. This is really fun. The finished items seen here can be found at my Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CairParave…

Two necklaces designs to show off fabric covered beads and a tutorial on how to cover wooden beads with fabric.

Kantha jewelry starts with the idea of giving new life to old things. Kantha quilts are a traditional textile found all over India, made from layers of old cotton saris, sewn together with a running “kantha” stitch. Artisans transform the scraps into beads for jewelry and nothing goes to waste! New life is given to a textile that would otherwise be discarded. The wood bead base is made from scraps from a local furniture factory so it’s sustainable all around! #kanthajewelry #recycledsaris

I've dabbled in jewelry making for many years but only seem to produce one piece a year. Why then do I have three drawers full of jewelry making supplies? The passion runs deep but has not been fully unearthed. But a box full of kantha cloth scraps has focused my attention in the new year. Since I've made so little jewelry I don't have a lot of skill or know how, particularly in connecting the pieces. I feel like they are a bit fragile at the joins and might fall apart on me any moment…
