Thanks for that information at the end. My teen grandson just brought me hundreds from our forest and filled a trash can half way and there are more but we are leaving some forvthe deer.
GREAT VIDEO...thx! Question....do you finish the buckeyes with a varnish or anything that might keep them looking shiny and less likely to get old, brittle and dried out?
Do not varnish them. The varnish cracks after a day and looks horrible. Before I went to sell them, I wiped them down with a teenie tiny bit of baby oil. hope that answered your question.

Thanks so much! We have been gathering buckeyes to do this too! I truly appreciate the tutorial ❤️

For October u should dye all the Buckeyes or every other Buckeye pink instead of using a pink bead so it doesn’t ruin the OSU color theme. That’d be 🔥
Wish people around me would buy them...I have necklaces and keychains made....
Can you bake them just to be safe? Also would you bake before drilling?
Great video.....thanks!
Hi, can I buy some predrilled buckeyes from you?
What size beads are those????
Where do you get your supplies? I have buckeyes.
I get the pony beads from www.bolekscrafts.com/, and the 20# Hemp string from Hobby Lobby.
What size drill bit?
I use 3/16" TFW
Thank you Wanda. Love your videos!
Where do I get that 12 lb string
where did you get your beads??
From bolecks.com. They are reasonable
I'm late to this, but that store must not be in business now. Where do you get your supplies now?
Do you have to bake the buckeyes first?
I don't. I just let the dry naturally. As long as the area that they are in has no or low humidity they dry fine.
Tfs!!!
How much do you sell them for?
$5 plus shipping
Rolling Through Life
Thanks so much!
What size drill bit ?
I don't remember. Just big enough to get a tapestry needle with hemp string to go through.
