VOGUE OF THE BEADED SASH

Sometimes the wooden beads are made to combine with silk thread and so form a fringe, while at other times they are fastened into a symmetrical design by a needle and silk thread. These sashes sell for rather high prices at the shops, but an examination of one or two of them will reveal to you the secret whereby you can propure the beads at the bead counter in the fancywork department and make your own beaded sash.
