ABSTRACT
This project is born out of the zeal to make a remarkable contribution in the use of beads, perspex and embroidery to make a unique rotatory design and traditional attires for interior decoration and in the promotion of human comfort. Earlier before now, it is very uncommon for people to find use of bead and embroidery as an accessory for creating wearable fashion attire. However, most people believed that bead can only be used for jewelry, without knowing that it can as well be used for interior decoration. The practical aspect of this project is to create a special regard to show the beauty in the end product of bead which serves as a means of interior decoration. This project report consists of five chapters. Chapter One talked about the Introduction, Background of the study, Purpose of the study, Statement of problems, Scope of the study, Significance of the study, Limitations of the study and Definition of terms.
Chapter Two dealt with the Literature Review. Chapter Three dwelt on the Methodology and procedure involved in the execution of the project. Chapter Four dealt on the presentation and data analysis of the project. Chapter Five talked about the Conclusion, Summary, Recommendation, Achievement and Referencing. I believe that if attention is given to this project, it will be of great benefit to both institutions and individuals in understanding the creative image of fashion and its trend, to the current fashion development in the world and in the life of man.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Fashion as an institution for the expression of oneself and the creation of aesthetic has been of great importance in the promotion of human comfortability in the existence of man and his environment. As an academic field of discipline, it has always been misundertaken by many people who thought it to be all about sewing clothes, while many others view it from the point trying to portray its irrelevance in human development. to this end, it appears very uncommon for people to appreciate and understand the creative image of fashion as an institution of learning which actually means a popular style or practice especially on clothing, footwear, accessories, make-up, body piercing etc. In the creation of fashion accessories, many accessories can be used, which seem to be uncommon and unnoticed by many people. This, however, has led us to observe the use of fashion accessories like beads, wool, e.t.c. as a medium to produce specialized craftwork in order to achieve the desired goal in the world of fashion.
Consequently, bead according to “Oxford Advanced Learners’ Dictionary means a small piece of glass, wood e.t.c. with a hole through it, which can be put on a string with others of the same type and be worn as jewellery.”
According to Lowe, I (2010) a bead is a small, decorative object that is formed in a variety of shapes and sizes of a material such as stone, shell, glass, plastic, wood or pearl that is pierced for threading or stringing. The word “bead” originated from the Anglo-Saxon words which are “bidden,” which means to pray and “bede” which means prayer. About 40,000 years ago, beads were said to have been made from pebbles, shells, glass, bronze, teeth, claws, brass etc. Beads may be divided into several types of overlapping categories based on different criteria such as the material from which they are made, the process used in their manufacturing, the place or period of origin, the pattern of their surface, or their original shape.
Types of beads according to the pattern of their surface: Plastic beads, Coral beads, Crystal beads, Sand beads etc.
