I made something very similar for a fundraiser this past summer and that's how I got kind of hooked on beading. I LOVE how full yours are though! You can also attach them to some hemp (or leather, etc) cord with a couple of beads at the end of the cord to create a bookmark. Now I want to make more....and Happy Birthday!
Hi Wendy!! Happy Birthday 🎈🎉🎂!! Sorry your special day started so messy! lol 😆. When you mentioned the other day you were using a tackle box to keep beads in.....I thought to myself I would not be able to use one, because I knew I would have beads EVERY where.....I didn’t say it out loud so I don’t think I jinxed you!! Lol. You have a very positive outlook on the fumble!! 😆😆. Anywho......I love the key chain/purse charm!! It’s very pretty and the color combo is fabulous!! I’m definitely going to make several of them!! Hope you have a great week!! See/Hear you soon!! ❤️📿🌸
You must have "ESP". I have looked at all purse dangles and yours is the best.... I think $20 is a great price. HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🥳🎶🌈🤗 T.Y. for sharing. Blessings.
so pretty. Just subscribed to your channel. I make jewelry too and I'm finding you to have great tutorials. Looking forward to watching all your videos. hugs and have a great day. KJ
Happy Birthday, Wendy! I hope your day was great! I’m so glad your inner voice didn’t laugh at you. That would’ve hurt😕 lol. You will find beads months from now. Years ago the security guard at my work caught kids playing around our parking lot. When he told them to leave, one ran by my car and smashed in my window. 😡🤬 I swear I was still finding little pieces of glass until I sold that car. Ugh.
I did have a great day anyway : ). I would vacuum them all up and just empty them out of the vacuum canister but I swept a spider up in there the other day so I'm not touching it until Chris empties the canister!!🕷️
Oh no!!! You need to spray! We get something from Walmart and spray all around outside house every month and our basement. It really helps. I will ask my daughter what the name of it is. It helps keep the big black water bugs out too!
Ok she says it’s at Lowe’s and it’s a concentrate Black Flag pesticide in a bright yellow bottle! It’s like $10-13 and worth every penny. I just wish it would kill flies and gnats!
Could you please tell me the size of the curb chain and jump rings you used for this project. I have purchased a ton of things and haven't accomplished anything yet. I have ideas running through my head but I have anxiety about trying to make anything. I don't know why. If you could give me any suggestions, tips or anything else that could get me started with my beading journey I would truly appreciate anything you can recommend. I'm retired and dealing with some health issues and need a hobby to make me feel like I am accomplishing something with all of the time on my hands. Thank you so much!
I think the chain was 10mm and the jump rings vary in size but I mostly use 6mm and 8mm. As for having the anxiety, I totally understand how you feel. If you are feeling anxiety over it, you may just need to break it down into manageable steps. Just pick one project that you'd like to make. Get out all the supplies you need to make that one thing and take your time making it. Just go slow and enjoy yourself. You will feel a great sense of accomplishment when you are finished! Always clean up your mess after each project. That helps me to be able to start the next project when I have a clean workspace. You can do it!!
@@wendyscraftingfriends thank you so much for the help! It's really kind of you to reply. Can I ask you another question about the chain please? What was the gauge for it and is it aluminum or metal/brass based? If I can't find the curb chain will the cable chain work. If I find it it's usually more $ than I can afford to spend. I've been having a difficult time trying to find it. I so appreciate your willingness to help a wannabe jewelry crafter. 🤗😊 Renee
You can actually use any chunky chain. As long as the jump rings will fit through it and it's not so delicate that it will break if tugged on, you should be fine. If you go to Amazon and search "chunky chain for jewelry making"or something like that, it should come up : )
@@wendyscraftingfriends thank you so much! Hopefully I will accomplish something from this! I better because I have TONS of beads and goodies so something HAS to happen! I think my adult kids might look me up and take away my cards and devices so I can't order anything else! 😆
@@wendyscraftingfriends I got a text from you on the 5th, then texted you back on the 6th but didn't hear back from you. NP my friend, life does have a way of getting in the way of best laid plans. lol
I am listening to the story of your bead box adventure as I am looking up at all my bead boxes on top of my cupboard and I am saying thank you for sharing!,,,,🤔☹️🎆
P.S.S. Slimkim again please call!!!! Historical story about yea , which boy???!!!!!! What a "HOOT" obviously not for you but, still freaking funny, obviously one of them watched Mama, LOL, and knew what to do!!!! Hey, you never know exactly what your children will like or be into!!!! Just sayin my oldest son actually seen me doing beads so many times, he took the initiative to make his daughter a 3 strand crystal bicone bracelet!!! The materials alone for crystal cube beads is what he used in addition to the bicones was 70.00$ !! But hey, he didn't care what it cost!! And he was determined to make not only a bracelet but, a 3 strand bracelet!!!@ I was shocked and so surprised!! Flipped me right out to think he would even be interested. So yea not a long story short LOL, you just might want to find out watch son connected all those jump rings together, he might just be interested in beading if only like a minute like my son was!!!!! Sorry so long with the talk, talk call me!!!!!@@
LOL that was so sweet of your son to make that for his daughter! I bet she will treasure that bracelet forever : ) Unfortunately, neither of mine are interested in beading. One is a chef, the other is planning to be an engineer at NASA.
Here's an idea for you. Since you have a son who loves playing with your beading supply, have him separate all those beads that fell! Bet it will be the last time he plays with your stash!!!
@@wendyscraftingfriends If you have ever seen Susans work you will see the resemblance. Heidi makes lovely polymer clay beads. Does she have a website where she sells them? I love polymer clay but, it's not an easy task. I tried making some beads and it looked like a 3 year old made them. My deepest respect for anyone who can make something pretty with polymer. Happy Birthday, also. I love your videos and tutorials.

Also, what size of head pin are you using for this project? Thank you
Happy birthday Wendy beautiful job
Thank you Anita!
What side beads are best for these? And wire? I can’t find the help I need 😢!
I went to Michael’s and purchased 12 gauge wire where I use 18 gauge. Can the 12 gauge wire still be used to create the bangles..
You must have "ESP". I have looked at all purse dangles and yours is the best.... I think $20 is a great price. HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🥳🎶🌈🤗 T.Y. for sharing. Blessings.
Thank you Bella!
What size is your jump ring and wire your using and head pin size? Thank you

Thank you, Jan!
Happy Belated Birthday Wendy! I’m a February baby too!
Well Happy Belated Birthday to you as well : )
My small voice inside would be rolling on the floor laughing at me in a not so small voice!!! Hope you had a great day anyway! 🎂🎂🎂 Love the dangles!!
I did have a great day anyway : ). I would vacuum them all up and just empty them out of the vacuum canister but I swept a spider up in there the other day so I'm not touching it until Chris empties the canister!!🕷️

A light or ceiling fan pull. That would be beautiful in a dining room in the right color.
Great idea!
Lovely
