Hello beautiful people of steem community it is with much pleasure that I take part in this beautiful contest of Steem Engangement Challange , s1w4 of .it is all about creativity and I am here to present another piece. A work of art and I call it paper beat.(Embriodery)

Introduction

Beats have become so popular in the work of arts and embriody in particular. Embriody has created employments for many people in the art industry. Originally acquiring beats made from plastic materials has become so expensive and we have started looking for alternative sources. The cheapest material I found around arw papers and other local materials. Normally to produce one requires a lot of patience and concentration.

These beats are used for decorations on house stuff But i will be making beats For a traditional neckless that goes with the traditionla attire. These beats can also be use for decorating door blinds . The tailor can do the cutting and the helming then i simply attach the beats on the materials. But this is not our focus for today.

Now stay with me as I take you through the steps of making paper beats and a neckless .

Materials

• Paper (calendar preferably )
• A ruler
• Pencil
• A gum
• Varnish
• A paint brush
• Toothpick
• Needle and threat

Step one

You have to draw lines on the paper and cut it into pieces. The paper is cut in a triangular manner

Step two

After that, the paper is folded. You must have applied gum inside to prevent the paper from opening up , you keep folding until a beat is formed.

Step three

When the beat is produced, I then apply varnish to keep it glittering and also keep it from getting wet during washing .

Step Four

You now take the beats one after the other to produce a necklace with the help of a needle and threat .

Once i am done our neckless is ready to be worn.

This is basically what is done for the beats to be produced and it is then used for various types of decorations. Most of these beats are used in the decoration of door blinds and the decorations of dresses. Most people also use it decorate hand bags and shoes.

Well this one I have done is meant to be worn as beats around the neck and it goes with most traditional regalia espescially smong the Bantus population of Cameroon. They wear it to attain tradition occasions and festivals ...

Final product on my neck 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This contest has given me the opportunity to bring out the talent in me and it has been awesome participating in this contest and it has been a very awesome and very cool experience. I really enjoyed taking part in this contest.
