Dread Decorations?

Post by 3half » Fri Jul 22, 2011 9:40 pm

I found some bits and bobs around my junk drawer and decided to put them on my fake dreads. The green dread has two old twist ties that you get from the grocery store to secure your bag of apples closed. The brown dread has some tassle that I got from an old gift packaging.

My question is, what do you guys use to decorate your dreads that is unique/adds some flavor?

I like to add cheap Pandora beads to mine or glass pony/crow beads. I'll also sew on Swarovski crystals and pearls.

Thank you! Those are stunning! I might have to borrow that idea from you. ;) Someone on the board had mentioned using puffy paints. Since I'm such a glitter addict I might have to give that a try as well.
