Fun with the beaded curtains...

I looked at the beaded curtains from Buzz and Bloom included in the kit for quite some time...deciding exactly what I wanted to create using these unique pieces...
I decided to first change the color of the piece, so I covered the entire length with Colorbox chalk ink.

I repeated this for my second piece as well. I then cut all the small pieces apart.
I decided to create a flower from the trimmed pieces. I threaded some string through a button from my stash and added it to the center of my flower. I used one of the rubons from the kit on a piece of the scrap cardstock; adding the darker cardstock from my stash; which I embossed using the Swiss dots Cuttlebug template.

I challenge you to think outside the box and look at what you might be able to create from these beaded curtains!
