I haven't made any cards today - I've been playing with these lovely diamante topped pins that I bought the other day. I couldn't get the focus right on my camera, they do look lovely in real life. I had them from a floristry supplier - they are supposed to be used for wedding button holes.
So I found out my box of beads. It is always my intention to have a go at jewellery making, but never seem to get round to it. I'll have a nice collection when I retire in twenty-odd years time! Maybe I'll have enough spare time then......
I threaded some beads and spacers onto the posh pins and secured the bottom bead with a drop of super glue .....
(Out of focus again - sorry!)
And here's my finished examples that I've had a play with ...
So, you can't have my mine - I'm sure you'd do a much better job yourself anyway. I'm going to add 10 plain diamante pins to my followers blog candy for you to have a play.
Don't forget to enter my blog candy - just one week left!
