This is my new obsession. They can be used as scissor fobs or Christmas decorations, but I am either Very Late or just a tad early for Christmas.

Hi Lyn - much too lovely to have once-a-year airings. Your talent is beyond great. Can we have a favourite? Mine is the second from left because the red stitching shows out so well on the white but they are all beautiful. Will you be selling these at the market? Do you still do the market? I don't get to Adelaide any more.

Alma, I do still do Markets. Mylor and Meadows. Mylor is such a worry. we can't seem to build it up. People just don't seem to be interested in craft. Food and plants relating to food. I like the one on the left with green stitching and pink beads. remind me of rosebuds.

I commented below-Love this

Thanks Chris.

These look great well done. I have done some beadwork too but not like these. I was only saying to hubby this morning I could be beading but don't know what to make....wish I knew how to make these.

To hard to explain unless you were here with me.

You have to have the fabric pleated before adding the beads.

those are very pretty I would like to make them.

I might have used the wrong term but you attach it to your scissors so that you don't misplace them.

These are beautiful.

Yes but very relaxing.

Lovely. Do you smock them along with the beading?

1 comment

by mi30kaja 13 Jan 2014

I didn't smock these but did the beading etc.

Just love making these.

These look lovely, Lyn. Nice job. I can understand how it's become an obsession :)

My Girlfriend and I worry that we get so carried away with these obsessions.

The pleater made pretty ornaments and you got to use some of your beads. You should be able to sell these at your local market.

I had to buy more beads as I didn't have a particular colour.

Very Lovely, great idea for Christmas decorations.

I get all of these crazy ideas which end up costing me a fortune. I go mad on buying seed beads and know I will never use 90% of them in my lifetime, but it keeps me happy. Now I have bought a pleater and I know I will use it for a while and then put it away.

These would be lovely for the keys on clocks, cabinets.
