You produce wonderful videos! Your card/color/design ideas are unique and so creative. Your encouragement is genuine and the directions are paced beautifully with written cues to help any crafter watching be able to reproduce your efforts. Thank you SO much for the time and effort you expend for those of of us, who for the most part, I imagine you will never see. It is such blessing to be the recipient of so much crafting goodness. I know your subscribers appreciate you enormously - and I'm one of them. Just sayin' !!!

I made thilose paper beads when I was young, and even then, I didn't find them too inspiring, but with the embossing enamel and rainbow colors that is a surprisingly pretty necklace! My thought was that you might be able to take greeting cards and make some beads, so that you can have a keepsake from a special event, but not have to keep a whole pile of cards. Thanks for all the inspiration! I also like the idea of the micro beads in the grout! I bought a bunch of them a while ago and haven't been brave enough to break them out yet. 😅

@KarensKardzz Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much Ann and that is a brilliant idea to use the greeting cards! The embossing powder really does give it a nice shine but I may try the Distress Resist spray as that would be even easier to do. I hope you give the micro beads a go too. 😄❤️❤️

Great ideas using up scraps. I’ll bet your fingers were very sore after rolling all those beads! You must have a lot of patience, I’m not sure I could stick with it long enough to make enough beads for a bracelet, much less the necklace! They turned out great though so good on you💕

@janemcgill6576 Жыл бұрын

@@KarensKardzz I see what you mean by sore fingers. I lasted for 4 beads before I went searching for my quilling tool. It works great and makes the beads much easier and faster. My problem is cutting the paper. I am using a guillotine cutter and the paper shifts but I use the pieces anyway and they seem OK. I have a lot more beads to make before I have enough for a necklace. It is so much fun.

I’m so glad you’re enjoying the beads Jane! It’s really fun to see them come together and I think the less uniform they are, the better. I’m glad you’ve got a quilling tool to use too. I ordered one off Amazon and it makes a world of difference. 😄💕💕

Thanks so much Teresa! I used some nylon thread to string the beads and just knotted it going around and through the end bead. I probably knotted it about 3-4 times as I was terrified it would come loose! 😂. For the bracelet, I used some elastic beading thread so there’s no clasp on it.
