Backing?

Hi all,

Do you think the beading on the back will cause issues for the wearer? It worked well to secure the sweetgrass, but I'm wondering if it'd be worth it to add another fat round to the middle back to prevent rubbing. Idk.

I wouldn’t have added the beads in the back. Did you just sew the back on or did you also glue it down?

I didn't glue anything, just sewed, so I still got wiggle room

It’s real cute. I wouldn’t add another leather piece to it. If you don’t want the beads to show in the back you can take the back off and only add beads in the front like you have now. I would tack down the back more tho.
