I really want to decorate my dreads somehow but I keep browsing hundreds of beads and coils and all sorts without actually choosing anything. Let's see some pics/ideas!
Eye see you (cheesy-joke-face) Link to buy - http://www.etsy.com/listing/8229655...iew_type=gallery&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet= Why not try and make your own stuff first? I've been wanting to make myself a wooden bead out of a thick branch for ages but haven't yet, but I guess you could. Just pick a think-ish branch, cut it however big you want it, sand it down, do whatever you want with it put a hole big enough for a dread to fit in, voila.
I bought some wooden beads and painted them. It's nice having your own personal touch to the things in your hair.
those eyes are so creepy. i love them! but yea, as others are saying, try making your own stuffs. it's fun to make beads with sculpy as well. and i have a tendency to just find random things and put them in, like key chain rings, or other rings that don't fit your fingers, or interesting pieces of string... my friend has a really lovely piece of glass on one of his that is actually a broken off mouth piece from a pipe.
I bought some green Cuffs (I like green) for now, I want one of the glass snakes off etsy but it's about £8,000,000,000,000 + p&p
This is an old pic of me dreads, but yeah, I make beads out of polymer and dreaded braided yarn things into my hair too.
I added a little dangly bead that I made to the end of one of those yarn bits too, I fastened it on with a thin wire.
I bought some shiny green things, put one in (I am adventurous, after all) Can you spot it? Pic might be super hi res, apologies if your eyes bleed.
I've made a load of porcelain beads I've yet to put on some sort of selling website. You cans have ones for like 3 quids or something
