Em's Beaded Curtain

I made my own beaded curtain from pom poms and buttons. I used scrap wool to make random pom poms and recycled buttons all from op shops.

Very cool beaded curtain made from buttons! You can never have too many buttons.. there's so much you can do with them!!

Buttons!
And another cool door curtain idea with coins!



Or corks
Corks and eye hooks- I like the idea of these hooks. I think it would swing more easily and therefore be better as a door curtain to walk through.
Corks and beads
Or fabric

Andres Amadorarts is another artist with a similar concept.
