Hello! I wanted to share today the stick pins that I made for this swap. This was my first attempt at making stick pins. It was really fun and easy! I went with a Christmas type theme. I love the lampwork beads! And some of them remind me of Christmas cut rock candies we used to get as kids :-)
Recipe:
3" pins
beads: lampworks, bicones, round white, daisy spacers from Oriental Trading Co
other smaller beads are from Joanns
I applied Glossy Accents to secure the bottom couple of beads. I then stuck them in a styrofoam ball to dry. A word of caution if you try this, some of mine stuck to the styrofoam so you might want to use something else?? not sure what though :-)
Holder:
Me & My Big Ideas "Christmas Carol" stack
Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cricut cart - tagpocket2 @ 6 1/2"
I punched the holes to stick the pins in before assembly.
Thanks for stopping by today :-) And a big Thank You to all the Circlets that were in this swap and also for all the work that our hostess Sherry (aka JJewel) put into this :-)

Lampbeads are my favorite!! I loved your bead sets. :) Thank you for being in the swap... think about Bead Swap 2--notice the new name!!! It's going to be crazy fun.
ReplyDeleteYour stick pins are just awesome! I wish I had used lampbeads. They add so much dimension and texture. Great job!
