Today is crafting day with my DD, so I won't be making a card. Instead, I'll work on one of the projects that I keep on hand specifically for these days. I am currently working on a decoupage tray, but I think I'll put that aside for now and play with beads and wires instead. My DD is trying her hand at making jewelry, and I'm making what I call "bow jewelry," which are hatpins with beads and charms on them for adorning cards, usually stuck in bows. They are incredibly fun to make and sooo easy.
The littlest ones were my very first, made on the pearl-topped long pins you find in wedding sections of craft and sewing stores. I colored some of the pearls with Copics and Sharpies.
The longer ones are 3" and are made on hat pins that I bought online along with the tip protectors, which make these a gift w/card as the recipient can remove them and use them as lapel pins. Pretty cool, huh?
I will be back to making cards tomorrow. And maybe even using one of my pieces of "bow jewelry."
Have a lovely Friday, and happy crafting!
