I love what you've done with your dangles. You have inspired me to get my stash out and get busy!
oh, I love these. Just gorgeous! I think both the chunky and the more simplistic too beause, depending on your bag, they both work. Thank you so much! Happy to have found you !
So glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching 💕
I like both types of bead dangles.The chunky one could be used on art journals and tags. The more simple ones are perfect for handbags and cell phones. I think they are beautiful. TFS Nina.
+Laura Murphy Thanks so much Laura. Really loved making these ❤️
Hi Nina, these are beautiful and so many ways to use them. They could be hung on curtain/drapery tiebacks, to coordinate with the color or pattern of the drapes. Would be adorable on tiebacks in a child’s bedroom or baby nursery. I’d hang one on the handles of a gift bag, added little sparkle to the bag and an extra little present to whomever you’re giving the gift to. 😊
+Victoria Ashmore Thanks so much for your lovely comment Victoria and for your great ideas ❤️
The chunky ones are great for journals. I like the small ones, too. Maybe I’ll get out my stash of jewelry beads and try it too. TFS!
+Dedra Smitherman Journal charms is a great idea! I had so much fun making these. Glad they’ve inspired you to dig your beads out too ❤️
Just beautiful. I would have them hanging off just about everything I own, cell phone, handbag, key rings. You could hang them from flower arrangements even. They would make wonderful gifts for colleagues and friends by mounting on a card and inserting into Christmas cards. You have been very busy! We call them handbags here in New Zealand :).
+Lynette Gough Thanks Lynette, I must admit, I still have some hanging from my hallway light fitting that I decorated a few Christmases ago. They looked so pretty, I never took them down!
They are all lovely!! I like them all but I love the chunky ones!! 💜✌
+Sheryl Buesch Thanks Sheryl. They’re so tactile! ❤️
Love the dangles, especially the chunky one... I usually have a Vera Bradley dangle hanging from a zipper pull on my purse... I don't make jewelry so don't have many ideas to share... I could see using the flat circles as a signature piece added to the jump ring that the dangle hangs from... Could also see them becoming ornaments either on a tiny tree or an art journal layout as a string of "lights" draped from the top of the page... Fun Idea - TFS... Have a great day! 😃
+Sue Bouch I love the idea of a string of lights Sue ❤️. I have a Vera Bradley charm bracelet and I love it. Got it when we were in the US a couple of years ago. Have a lovely week 😊
Everyone has such great ideas. They are very pretty dangles. You have been a busy girl! 😊-Marsha from Texas
+mmonr I had so much fun making these. I haven’t really touched my beads for quite a while. I’ll be even busier trying out these fabulous ideas ❤️ x
Hello Nina your charms are just beautiful the first thing I thought of was ho they would make a great dangle off a journal there all so wonderful once again your talent is amazing and inspirational
+rayne onopa Thanks so much Rayne. I haven’t touched my beads for such a long time and I really did enjoy making these ❤️ x
Those chunky one are my fav, but all are beautiful. I'd paint and sparkle up those tags. I made a wind chime with painted washers and had lots of compliments. I'm sure you'll come up with something wonderful.
+tori swanson Thanks Tori, I’ll have a play tomorrow 😊
Love ALL!! The only thing I can think of that hasn't been mentioned would be on a zipper pull tab on a jacket. Your talent is a.m.a.z.i.n.g!!
+Sherri Reeves Aww, thanks so much Sherri. Zipper pulls is a great idea ❤️
I really like both styles and would use them as a pendant, hang off my purse, or to embellish my art journal. They would also look nice hanging from your zipper on a jacket or sweater.
+Vickie Brown I love the idea of zipper pulls. Thank you ❤️
these are so pretty. Definitely use them as handbag charms and also for key chain charms. I know if i got a journal, I'd love one of those on it. I love them.
+Heidi Lilley Thanks so much Heidi ❤️
My favorite is the chunky, but the others are fabulous too.👍
+Lyn inRaleigh Thanks so much Lyn 😊
Wow Nina - just beautiful . . . I love them all. The fox bead is to die for. I think you will find some use for the flat discs. You always surprise us! :)
+Donna Williamson Thanks for your lovely comment Donna. The fox is cute isn’t it 😊 x
Gorgeous dangles Nina. I have used them for the spines of my journals. They are also great for purses etc.
+Kim Daniel Thanks Kim. I really did enjoy making these. It was so lovely delving into my bead stash again ❤️
Beautiful dangles! I love the large one hanging on your purse, the noise makes me happy!!! But the small butterfly dangle looks so pretty against your purse! I have a lamp shade from my daughter's old bedroom that has beaded dangles, sort of hippie style and that's what I think of with these! Also, I have her dream catcher with a few hanging on it! Gosh, I think you can go wild with these and they are gorgeous to display or wear!! I'm sure having a supply of dangles on hand, you'll have tons of crafty moments pop in your head on how to use them! Hugs, Debra
+elvisisabigsweetie Do you know Debra, I love these so much, I’ve now got one on the front and one on the back! Thanks for all your lovely ideas, My beads are definitely going to come out again ❤️ xxx
i love them charms, there absolutely beautiful. i also like putting charms on my handbag as well.
Who doesn’t love a bit of bling hey 😍
Ohh they are lovely
In Australia we call it a handbag. As for the charms, you can use them as sun catchers, bookmarks, curtain tie backs, if you have drawers or cabinets with keys add them to the keys, clip it through a top button hole on a winter coat. Now, the discs - you can use them as wine glass charms or coffee/tea cup charms. That's it for me - surprised myself considering my lack of sleep and it's 7.00 in the morning and I've only had one cup of coffee :D Oh, oh, I knew I forgot something - your dangles are gorgeous!
+TopazDragon Wow! You’ve come up with some great ideas, thank you ❤️
You are most welcome!
I love both types!! They are gorgeous!!
+Merete T. Thanks Merete 😊
Lovely bead dangles! I used to sew little bags for holding make-up or whatnot in a purse. You could put a dangle on the zipper as a zipper pull.
+Beth Arcuri That’s a lovely idea Beth. Thank you ❤️
Wow, Nina. Beautiful charms. I love them all. Tfs , Tereese
+Tfriday77 Thanks so much Tereese 😊
I like the chunky ones & I too think they would be pretty hung on Christmas tree.
+karenlynn1956 Thanks Karenlynn. I found some chandelier crystals a few years ago and made some gorgeous dangles for the Christmas Tree, so your right, they do make lovely tree decorations. I’ll have to make some more ❤️
I love your creations! I like to hang them from my cross stitch project bags.
That’s a lovely idea Tracy ❤️
I love these. The beads are so pretty! They are great on handbags. In the US it depends on the price of it if it is a purse or handbag... the more expensive ones are handbags! The dangles I have made were applied to mini albums, zipper pulls, fan pulls, book bag and backpack dangles, curtain ties, and the uses you mentioned. Back when I made a bunch of these and received some in happy mail, I had a very small Easter tree (bare with no bristles) that we would hang blown Easter Eggs on each year, but in between I would have my dangles hanging there for me to see. For your more special handmade beads, the tree might be a way for you to get them out of the box without getting rid of them. Thank you for sharing! I will have to make another one!
+Leslie Clare Jones Creative Pzazz I love the ideas of hanging these on a tree. I saw a tree in the supermarket last week that would be perfect for this. It was a sparkly white one with bare branches. Great idea Leslie. Thank you ❤️
Nina Ribena yes! I was afraid my description wasn’t clear. The white tree will be perfect! ❤️
There all lovely! Very pretty - look lovely on travellers note books and planners. The key fob disks I would cover them in pretty paper and then cover them in 1 inch dome epoxy stickers (on eBay) or utee and then use them as embellishments on your art journalling or centres of flowers etc. X
+Liz Golding Thanks Liz, great idea for the discs ❤️
Hi Nina, I love your charms. I think I would use the tiny discs as charms as well. You cand add the card board or paper on one side, add gesso or color, bling it in or add tecture and perforate de little hole to add the ring to use it as a charm. It can also be use as a mix media element or add a filigree piece and work around it.
TFS dear
big hugs
Vicky
+Vicky Bell Thanks so much Vicky. I see what I can come up with. I like the idea of using them as a charm ❤️ xx
LOL, yes, I love the sound of beads rattling too and I love that big cluster one you made.. here in Canada we call those purses and I know that in some of the U.S. they call them pocket books. I think it's a great idea to dangle them from your purse/handbag like that. I can only think of maybe Christmas tree ornaments or even dangling one on a gift instead of a bow.. especially a gift bag..and I love Carol M's ideas in her comment. Jackie's tag is beautiful and yes, that's another great idea..
+linda .german I have never heard of pocket books, so thats a new one on me! I hung some bead dangles from my hall light fitting a few Christmases ago and they look so pretty I’ve kept them there, and I have made beaded tree decorations in the past too. I love the idea of dangling them to gifts/gift bags. I will try Carol’s idea as I like that too. Goodness, I will be busy. I’ll have to make lots more! So much fun!
They might not call it that anymore but I have a 90 year old friend who was raised on the North East coast of the U.S. and that's what she calls it. Great ideas for your dangles. Great way to use up your beads.
Nina! I love your “production”. I love the purse idea. Your chunky one...oh my Nina...absolutely gorgeous!!! The tags, KEEP them. Use your alcohol ink on them, either directly or cut out your pieces from pieces you have played with. Add them to you dangles, as one in your chunky, or at the bottom of your single beaded dangles. Add the dangles to journals (would be a great addition to even use as a bookmark by having a string attached at the bottom of the journal binding that you flip up the book page your on, and the dangle end hangs over the spine or front of your journal). The dangle would be nice as the end of a pull cord/chain to turn an overhead fan or light on. I would add as part of a framed mixed media piece; either within the composition, or hanging from the bottom edge of a frame. Add to a frame family picture, especially a black and white photo, to draw attention and importance to the photo (attach to the back, and it hangs over the front of the photo along an edge on the right or left). I use a walking stick, and just like adding a chunky one/single/triple with a fiber/cord attach/tie it to the top. Yes, there are several ways to use them, and to use the metal tags. I love that you are using your jewelry skills in this way, and you have wonderful skills girl! I use to do bead work in the form of making rosaries when I was very young, that we sent to missionaries. (It was a family project. When we were five years old we just strung beads on the wire we were using for a single rosary, counting them repeatedly to have the correct amount. Dad did all the loop and chain work until we were interested in learning more. I was ten, maybe younger, when I started doing the full construction. I can remember asking for my own pliers when about twelve, so I did not have to wait to use the pliers. Good memory.)
+Monica Eggleton Thanks for all the great ideas you’ve come up with for the discs. I will have a play next week. I love these bead dangles, so won’t be putting the beads away just yet. How lovely that you did bead work with your family. When Alex was small he liked to play along with me and he particularly liked forming wire into specific shapes. He was very good at it too. As you say, good memories ❤️
These are gorgeous, Nina! There's so much you could use them for. I'm having a brain fog day, don't ask me, lol! I'm sure you'll come up with something for the metal plates, don't throw them away. Tfs, Fia xx
+verafi lindeng Thanks so much Fia . I’ve received lots of wonderful ideas, somI’ll see what I can come up with xxx
These are beautiful. I love them all. I think the chunky one would be great as a necklace. I have recently been making Christmas cards and those discs could be used as they are on a journal or card as ornaments. Tie some ribbon thru the top in different lengths and incorporate thru out page or card. Thanks for sharing.
+Sherry Wright Thanks Sherry, love the idea of using the discs as embellishments ❤️
Really wonderful! I love them!
+ladeirose S Thanks so much Rose Mary 😊
They are all so lovely. You could make a matching set for earrings. Thank you for sharing.
+Deborah Rusignuolo Thank you. Yes these do look lovely as earrings. I have made several pairs in the past 😊
Lovely dangles Nina, both sizes. They would also be great on a chandelier, or on a Christmas branch with little candles under it for shimmer and shine. Or you make a little hole in the top of a greetingcard and click one in as an extra surprise.
Maybe you could use nailpolish on the discs, on both sides as a charm or on one side for a magnet?
It's handtas in Dutch, so very simular to handbag.
Great video, lots to see...thanks Nina! X
Oh how I love your videos! Your enthusiasm is so encouraging to this old lady. Makes me move to my art sanctuary and start creating. Thank you
+Mieke Middelhuis Thanks for the fabulous ideas Mieke. I saw a pretty branch decoration in Aldi earlier and I’m going to whizz back and get it tomorrow as I think it would look lovely decorated with bead dangles - great idea. I hung bead dangles from my hall light fitting a couple of Christmases ago and they looked so pretty, they’re still there! Love the idea of attaching them to a greeting card too. Nail polish 🤔. ❤️ xx
+Tigger65370 Thanks so much for your lovely comment, that’s wonderful to hear ❤️
The chunky one is so beautiful. The coins can be made the same way by punching a hole in it. They can be made as earrings too. Can also be used as zipper pull.
Thanks so much 💕
They are gorgeous. I have a little pink one that was a breast cancer fundraiser on my purse. You can use them on a journal binding too.
+Susan Rascone Thanks so much Susan. Love these pretties ❤️
Those are gorgeous , great idea
+Donna L. Hanrahan Thank you ❤️
Chunky is my favorite and you could add those round things to your dangles😊💗
+Theresa Rasche Thanks, great idea ❤️
They are all absolutely gorgeous. I guess there's no end to what you can do. I'm going to have a go. Like you, I have tonnes of beads, but I've had to go out and buy some tools and findings as I stupidly sold mine several years ago xx
+Tracey Platt What a shame you sold your tools and findings. I am really enjoying playing with my beads again - its been a long while xx
Lovely, thank you for sharing.
+Marly Grijpma Glad you like them Marly. Thank you.
Absolutely Gorgeous
+Shawnee Charles Thanks so much Shawnee 😊
They would be wonderful on junk journal or scrapbooks 💖! They are simply gorgeous!!!
+Theresa Rasche Thanks so much Theresa ❤️
Love them all!
+connie van nostrand Thank you Connie 😊
Nina you are so infectious with excitement of these beautiful dangles!!!!!! I really love 💕 all of them, but the chunky one is my favourite. Like you I love 💕 that foxes 🦊 head. Thank you so much 😊
+Mags Nash Thanks so much Maggie. I haven’t played with my beads for such a long time and I thoroughly enjoyed making these charms. I have a lot of beads that need using up ❤️
Love your charms
+Muriel Em Bosworth Thanks Muriel 😊
Hello Nina, I love these charms, big and little. How about making a dream or sun catcher or a wind charm. Whatever they're used for they are beautiful. Tfs. Pam x
+Pooky Cat Thanks Pam, I bet they’d make a lovely wind catcher! 🤔 x
Gorgeous dangles,Nina. I love all of them. For the discs I would pour glossy accents straight on and then seed/micro beads etc to make centres for large flowers or embellishments. Sorry I can’t think of anything more imaginative! 😂Tfs. Hugs,Dee xox
+BettsyDoodle Thanks for your kind comment Dee. I love the idea of adding embellishments straight into Glossy Accents ❤️ xxx
Nina, I would wear the small dangles in my hair or as earrings depending on how heavy they are. They would also make great pulls for ceiling fans.
+Debbie Bonner Hair dangles would look sweet 😊. I think I have some plain hair clips in my stash so I’ll have to have a look for the . We have no need for ceiling fans here (its never warm enough), but I do have some dangling from my hallway light fitting and they look really pretty ❤️
I love the chunky dangle for the handbag, but you could use the smaller ones either end of a ribbon for a bookmark.
+Alison Roots Great idea Alison. Thank you!
very cute. Thank you for sharing.
+Michelle G Thanks Michelle.
Love the dangles. In Australia it's a handbag.
+Art Time Thanks for your kind comment 😊
oh Nina those are all so beautiful. I love the chunky one as well as the single one. To use them on our handbags is my favorite. But keychains, necklace, on the tag but my two thoughts were attaching small delicate ones around the bottom of a lamp shade or i also would hang them from the chain of my ceiling fans. As for the little silver disks i wonder how they would look with enamel over them or a small image then resin - they could probably be glued to things like paper clips to be added in journals. they could really make cute embellishments glued onto pieces of fabric and papers - so many thoughts!!!!! TFS
+Janet Visochi-Baum I’ve been wearing the ribbon tassels and bead dangles on my handbag and have received a couple of comments already. They look so pretty and they are so enjoyable to make. I love the idea of decorating a lamp shade ❤️. I’m going to try using some of the Pebeo Prime paint on the discs which is very similar to enamel (another suggestion). Can’t wait to see how they look ❤️xx
+Janet Visochi-Baum Thanks Janet. I love the idea of adding small dangles to a lamp shade. A couple of people have suggested using Pebeo Prisme paints to the discs which is similar to enamel. I have some so I will definitely give it a try. Love the idea of turning them into paper clips too. Great ideas from everyone ❤️
The dangles are gorgeous! If I had enough of them I would string them and make a valance to hang over my kitchen sink..I unfortunately don't have a window there and staring at the wall when doing dishes is no fun.
+Patti Jaeger That’s a lovely idea ❤️
Just found your video....your charms are GORGEOUS!!! I am subscribing to your channel and am looking forward to viewing all your videos!!! ☺☺
Thank you so much. I hope you’ll enjoy my channel 💕
Beautiful..........both types of charms are a winner. Just love them xxx
+Janet Harvey Thanks so much Janet 😊 xxx
Wowwww Nina, they are all gorgeous!!! Chunkies or not I love them all!!!! What a great collection of beads and charms you've got there!!!! I'm so impressed, honestly!!! You could also use them on clothes (decorate your t-shirts or with a pin on the jackets or coats). Personally, I would use them on my boxes!!! :D :D
Don't throw away the little circle ones! And instead of cardstock, you could also glue felt. You could make some paper clips (just an idea that came to my mind right now)
Huge hugs and kisses my friend!!!
+Katerina Mylona Awww, bless you Katerina. So glad you like them. I haven’t really played with beads for a long time and I really did enjoy making these. I will have a play with the discs and see what I can come up with. Huge hugs and kisses to you too ❤️😘 xx
Love the chunky one, love the single one in fact I went straight to my bead collection after seeing your charm on the ribbon tassels which I love (do I sound like a broken record) to see if I could replicate what you had created. I can not think of anything to do with the discs but if you are like the rest of us you will stash them away and hope something will come to mind. Tfs Maggie Mae
+Margaret Hope Thanks for your lovely comment Maggie. I have really enjoyed playing with my beads again. Its been a long while!
Those are beautiful! So talented. I like the chunky ones best. I would find a way to incorporate the discs into a mixed media project. Too cool not to use
+Susie Martin Thanks Susie. I’ll have a play with the discs and see what I can come up with ❤️
I love all of them
Thanks Linda :)
Love these cute dangles, as for the trolly coins, you can punch a circle from a soda can and glue it with the metal side facing outward, now I need to go and make some, thank you for the idea!
Love your dangles! Wish I had some of your beads as they're gorgeous. If I could make them ... haven't a clue how to . .. tutorial maybe ? ... I would put them on my journals as I love the look and sound of them too. And we call them handbags in Australia. Love your videos
+blue mac Thanks so much for your lovely comment. If you have a look at the tassel video, I show how I make my dangles. They are very easy to make. Here’s the link to the video ua-cam.com/video/2WlMiSl-WdY/v-deo.html
Nina Ribena Thank you for letting me know. That's great!
HI NINA, IN REGARD TO THE BEDANGLES, I FIND THEM USEFUL AS A CEILING FAN PULL, OR IF YOU HAVE THE OLD TYPE OF BLINDS THAT ROLL UP WHEN YOU PULL ON THE STRING THEY WORK WELL FOR THOSE, I EVEN HAVE 1 IN MY CLOSET, I HAVE AN OLD-FASHIONED LIGHT IN THERE THAT YOU HAVE TO REACH WAYYYYYY UP, TO PULL THAT TEENIE TINY CHAIN LOCATED RIGHT NEXT TO THE LIGHT BULB IN ORDER TO CLICK ON THE LIGHT, THAT LITTLE CHAIN WAS NEVER QUITE LONG ENOUGH WITHOUT MY BEDANGLE. I ALSO DECORATE PRESENTS WITH MINE. WELL THERE'S JUST A FEW THINGS I USE MY BEDANGLES FOR. THANKS FOR ASKING. BTW, I LOVE YOUR BEDANGLES. C-YA.
Thanks so much for sharing these ideas Tammy 💕
I love all of your charms I thought it might be nice to use as a pin on your scarf
+Melissa Baker Thanks Melissa, great idea ❤️
Thanks for sharing and providing some inspiration for Christmas presents! maybe you could use the coin tokens as the centre of a brooch and then decorate with beads etc?
+Tracey London UK Thanks for your lovely comment Tracey and for the brooch idea. Hmmmm 🤔
Nina, these are lovely. I really like the chunky one - love the lovely sound as well as the look. It's a great way to use up our hoarded beads. I, too, have a huge collection. Thank you for this idea. I like Muriel's idea of charms for Christmas.
+Ann Johnson Thanks so much Ann. I haven’t touched my beads for quite a long while and I thoroughly enjoyed making these charms. We tend to collect so many things don’t we and I really do need to start using some of my stash. I agree Christmas charms is a great idea ❤️
Fabulous collection of dangles, sadly I don't craft so I can't help with any idea really. The only thought I've had is if you do as the girls have suggested, cover the disc, then simply add it back to say the bottom of your dangles. Or perhaps you could jazz them up, then string them with something and pop onto your Xmas tree. Tfs xo
+Elizabeth Naisbitt Thanks Elizabeth. I love the banner idea, brilliant ❤️ xx
Love the chunky one! You could use the Pebeo Fantasy Prisma paints (which separate and self level) on the trolley coins. You could also then put glossy accents or doming resin on top. I’ve got a couple so might see if it works! X
+Caroline Thomas Great idea Caroline. I have some of those paints, so will give it a try ❤️ xx
Lovely ... I like all of them :)
+Tere Banacloy Thanks Tere 😊
Very pretty dangles Nina! I'm sure there are many ways you could use these but my favorite would be to add one to my planner. Love them!!
+lovewisdom grace Thanks so much for your sweet comment Wendy 😊
I will have to remember not to send you beads and charms lol! Looks like you had a big stash all ready...I love the chunky and single...chunky for handbag dangling and the single ones as phone charms or to use on artwork 😊.I think painty papers glued onto the discs then glossy accents on top would look good on dangles to,or as embellishments on art work...don't think I would worry about putting cardboard disc on first.The embossed advertising wouldn't show much and just give more added texture 😄 x
+Lynda Pearce Oooh, phone charms is a good idea 😊. The silver charms were the ones you gave me 😊. I love them and think they look gorgeous with the beads. Will have a play with the discs and see what they look like 😊 xx
What beautiful bead charms, I love them all, but my favorites are the green and purple ones. Add them to gift packaging with a tag and twine.
+Jackie Elliott l love that idea Jackie. Thank you ❤️ x
Love how that looks on your handbag!! So pretty! Your so creative!!! These are beautiful! ❤️
+Connie Dye Thanks so much Connie ❤️
Lovely Nina. The dangles would make nice earrings if 2 the same! Not sure about the coins. 😁
+Melanie Brown Thanks Mel ❤️
i love all your charms, especially the chunky one!! got some good ideas for my own bead stash =D I've read through all the comments and there are some good ideas there... can't think of anything to add to them but will be coming back to see if others have been added. tfs!!!
+dawn sunpath Thanks Dawn. There’s been some brilliant ideas and I’m looking forward to making more now, and seeing what I can come up with with the discs ❤️
Pebeo Prizm or Moon paints would look good on the disks.They could then go back on the end of charms. TFS
+GoldFusion Designs Oooh, that’s a great idea! I have both so will definitely try it. Thank you ❤️
Beautiful dangles, I love making these. My friend has just asked me to make some for her sewing friends to hang on their scissors. Tfs Marina :)
Right! I actually have one on one of my scissors! I forgot.
+marina hop Thanks Marina. Love the idea of hanging these from scissors, great idea! I haven’t played with my beads for ages, and loved making these. I find it really therapeutic ❤️ xx
Nina Ribena . Me too and I love pretty beads , yours are gorgeous
Both are so beautiful 😍
+Purple Fairy Thanks so much ❤️
Hi Nina I love both types of dangles thanks for showing us God Bless
+Judy Evans Parker Thanks so much Judy 😊
I love them all Nina, That Fox OMG stunning. they would be lovely attach to a Christmas Ball You could make then into a broach
book dangle is the biggest thing right now. As for disks you could cover them with pretty paper use glossy accents on them. the newest thing I have seen is extra paint that drips on an acrylic pour is glued to a pendent I wonder if these would work too?
+Ann Alba You’ve come up with some fabulous ideas Ann. I will definitely make some Christmassy ones as love the ball dangle idea ❤️
Just came across your video. I love your dangles. I would keep the discs for future projects, of course I keep everything...that's why my house looks like a warehouse. Have fun creating.....Mirsades :-)
Thanks so much Mirsades. Your comment made me smile. I think we can all relate to that! 😄
You can make them into stitch markers for knitting and crochet. They just can’t be too heavy
Your collection of bead dangles is amazing!!! Both versions are great!
+Almut Olsson Thank you. I am really enjoying my beads at the moment 😊
I love your bead dangles! You’ve already come up with so many good ideas, I can’t really think of anything original. I love seeing them attached to the spine of a journal 😊🔆
+Deborah Dettor Thanks so much Deborah. You’re right, they’d look lovely attached to a journal 😊
Love them all - so much, in fact, that I am now considering buying a beading starter set! I am a multi-crafter, active with paper, fabric and yarn, but I can see me using the charms on my fabri-doris (a Midori-style notebook cover in scrappy fabric) which I make as gifts. Keep the projects coming, Nina. X
+Lynne Barkas Thanks so much for your lovely comment Lynne. You should definitely try beading. I taught myself from magazines and books, long before UA-cam videos, and started with earrings which I made by the bucket load! It’s not difficult to get going and I find it very relaxing. I’m sure you will enjoy it too ❤️ x
I love both styles! Love them on your handbag! I use the simple ones on my bookmarks. Love them hanging off the edge of my book lol. Hugs xxx
I just can’t get enough of these at the moment. Hugs xxx
Love these. Adorable. I was thinking texture paste on the disks. You could sculpt (for lack of a better word) it into whatever you wanted. Then once it dries, paint and varnish and make them into more dangles or pendants or .......Just a thought.
+Sandra Cook Thanks Sandra, and a great idea for using the discs ❤️
I love both dangles. I have lots of beads also and they are just sitting in a box. 🤔
+Jeanne Beam Dig them out and make dangles. I had so much fun making these ❤️
Beautiful
Thank you 💕
I like them both
Thank you 😊
Love your beads, thank you for sharing!
+francine roy Thanks so much Francine 😊
Just another idea - you could add magnets to the back and decorative fronts and use on the fridge.
+GoldFusion Designs Great idea. Thank you ❤️
Love these Nina! Perfect just the way they are made. Maybe add to bookmark for dangle off them. The disc could be used like people use the bottle caps. Maybe added to bottom of dangle. Thanks for sharing! ♡
+Susan Jones Thanks Susan. I wanted to have a play with the discs today, but got sidetracked! I have some ideas though 😊
Love the charms - especially the chunky one!! I think they look great on a bag, or on the spine of a journal. Could you use texture paste or UTEE on the discs and stamp into them to make textured embellishments? Maybe stamp letters into the them to spell out a word?
+Teresa Morgan Letters is a great idea! Thank you!
I love both -- I appreciate your fun ideas!
Thanks so much Tracy 💕
Love these beautiful dangles. TFS!
+Gail Tuthill Thanks Gail 😊
IMG...Nina, these are fantastic!! I wish I could find somewhere local where I could stock up on the clasps.
Bejay xx
+Bejay Roles Thanks Bejay. I went back to the Scrapstore yesterday, but they’ve all gone. I did find some on eBay for a good price though, so more on the way xx
Love your dangles!! I think I like the chunky ones for my purse the best.
Thanks Alisa, glad you like them 😊
These are so lovely tfs Nina
+Magz Lockley Thanks so much Maggie 😊
