Fanciful Wish

Happy Easter everyone!  I just got done filling plastic eggs with treats for a little easter egg hunt at my house tomorrow for my son and my 2 nephews.  It should be fun, though I feel like I don't have enough eggs (how many eggs do 3 boys needs anyway?!). May is coming which means, Mother's Day, Graduation and summer break for some lucky kids.  Are we really near summer already?  And does that mean I have to start planning my child's 2nd birthday party right now?  Wow...where does the time go? Speaking of time, I finally found some - and I made some new pieces for my store.  I also relisted some oldies but goodies that was hiding in my jewelry stash.  I threw them all into a container when the move happened, so I found them once again!  I've majorly discounted the prices on them so please, check it out!  Most of them are bead bracelets.  Here are a few that you can get at my store : Get it at FancifulWish Get it at Fanciful...

Beaded bracelets are really easy to make... Supplies Needed: * Scissors * Stretch Cord (0.5mm is thin, 1mm is thick so choose accordingly) * Beads * Hypo Cement Glue or Clear Nail Polish Steps: 1. Measure out some stretch cord.  I usually drape the cord over my wrist and cut enough so that a few inches hang from the ends.  My wrist is 6.5 inches so about 12 inches of cord works for me. 2. String your beads and keep measuring around your wrist.   3. When you are satisfied, take the two ends and tie a overhand knot, pull taut and then tie another knot, a surgeon's knot just to make it extra secure.   photo source: Beading Times 4. Next, dab a little hypo cement glue or clear nail polish on the knot.  If the holes in the beads are large enough you can hide the knot inside one of them. And there you have a beaded bracelet! I like to add charms on mine so to add a charm have some jump rings on hand and maybe some pliers ...
