Some days you just got to say freck it!
I decided to try and make my son's girlfriend a bracelet for her birthday. We will start with lessons learned. Just because I design is on YouTube one day it doesn't mean it will be on the next.
I can't believe how many findings and beads I got in my Craigslist purchase. It was so fun to organize but you can see from my last picture that all want to hell today.
First found a great bead I wanted to use but couldn't find the video with the instructions. If I would have waiting and looked at what I had before I took it apart that might of helped. Then again it just came to mind I could have looked at the picture on here and remembered. NOTE TO SELF
I tried a few things and then decided to do a two string pattern. Only the seed beads were too small to use a needle so I just used the thread. Worked really well to a point. I like it but it isn't right so after some food, relaxing, and regrouping I will see what I can do to make it "all better". Did I mention that her birthday is tomorrow and they live out of state.
I can't seem to get into the time change. Waking up too late, not hungry, and wanting to stay up late. Going to set the alarm tomorrow to get up before nine. The worst part is I was waking up every few hours so I should have got up one of the early hours.
Interesting using older thicker thread to bead, I did wax, but found it a bit too thick for what I was trying to do today.
Here are the pictures of the purchase.
Failure, well a start to the new bracelet.....
