How to make fabric beads with cotton balls.
A few months ago, I was asked by ArtBeads.com to review some of there products. So, I decided to create a tutorial along with this product review to showcase my use of the beads I got from them.
ArtBeads.com sent me the most AMAZING gold and metallic white gold beads so I decided to make fabric beads with it.
