Super Cute craft for Valentine or Mom

These make cute and practicle gifts for all the women in your life. Super simple, and really handy.

I just made up a bunch of these for a craft show this weekend, cant wait to share them.

Supplies:

Assorted beads that will measure 7 inches when strung
elastic cord ( I prefer the heaviest weight )
key ring
charm optional


1.String beads on elastic cording in desired order.

2.tie secure knot in elastic ( be sure to tie multiple knots so it stays secure, you may also put a dot of glue on the knot to ensure it does not come undone)

3.Add key ring and secure by knoting elastic around key ring

4.trim elastic cord

5.add charm if desired


These are fun for kids to make and give to teachers, bus drivers, or moms!

An Unexpected Adventure

I did not set out today to buy more supplies, it really was not my objective to come home with bags of new yarn and beads!


It started out harmless, I just thought I would stop in the local bead shop and take a look around. Maybe find a little inspiration, pick up a few spacer beads that I could use....but did not really need. Well, I know its not just me, I get in there and everything is so enticing! And the prices were great! I ended up leaving with quite a few hemitie beads, some fancy square beads, and 5 hanks of spacers. ooooppppssss! I am sure I will find lots of great uses for them though.



Then, as if I needed to I mentioned to the clerk that I had not been to the new yarn shop that I knew was near by, but did not know where exactly. Of course she told me where it was I had to go!

My first reaction was ....well how can I say this nicely? Not very impressed. As I was about to leave I noticed in the corner by the check out a little bin that said SALE. Now your talking my language! I started slow, only going to by 2 or 3, well, maybe 4. Ok, I ended up with a lot! It was fun, I cant wait to dig in and create! I found some great new treasures today!
