I thought I picked up red but this is clearly orange. It sure looks different when I’m wearing my torching glasses. I had the green bead as an orange one but it was orange overkill so I made the new green bead for this ornament. What’s going to happen is I’m going to end up with a bunch of different colored, leftover hollow beads and not know what to do with them.
This one is about 7 inches long.
Got another ornament done. This one is 7 inches long. The big light greenish bead is the biggest hollow bead I’ve ever made.
Of course there’s another. I can’t make just one thing and move on to the next. This one is black and white. Guess it’s kind of dark to be an ornament but I like the contrasting colors.
This one is a little over 6 1/2 inches long.
Well, kind of. This is my prototype for dangle type ornaments. It’s made out of several beads, the three big beads are hollow. All the beads are threaded onto a stainless steel mandrel and a glass end cap is glued on. This one turned out too dark and even though I used different colors for the hollow beads it’s hard to tell. Next time I’ll go a few shades lighter.
It’s six inches long.
I guess these are pretty popular in the crafting community. I found a bunch of designs already charted out. A gal I work with wanted a Swiss flag pin. So, I quickly put this together.
I probably could have used a little larger pin for all the hanging pins. Might do that if I make more in different designs.
Still making stuff for my last craft show. The goth girl beads seem to be a big hit so I made three more key chain.
The nice thing about making the key chains or key finders is I get to use my leftover beads from previous projects. They start building up and don’t really go with anything. It’s kind of fun looking through my stash to find beads I’ve made a long time ago that will work.
Just been trying to get more things made that I sold a lot of at the last craft show. There are more cell phone/zipper pull charms or key chains and key finders.
These goth girls are new beads. I kind of like making them. Their hair can go any which way.
More rice ball charms. They always sell out.
I sold some key chains and key finders at the last craft show. Thought I’d make more up for the next one. 
Key Finders – These hang off the side of a purse so the beads hang on the outside.
Regular key chains. I have to make more zombie girl beads.
Some customers have asked for metal hair sticks. I totally forgot that I bought some this year. I found them when I was packing my stuff up for the craft show. I made the beads last night and assembled them this morning. They are really easy to put together.
These would also work out well for sweater or lacy scarf holders too.
My mom made these yo-yo Christmas trees. They are different sized yo-yos threaded onto a steel mandrel that I made a glass star on the top.
I think they turned out pretty cute considering I don’t usually like stuff made out of fabric yo-yos.
