I love this idea, and adding beads as well. I love rocks, and have a collection that would be nice to do this with. Thank you for sharing your skills and love of paper beads with me. Peace.
HI my name is Raquel I live in Puerto Rico I like this technic you are using for these shell what size wire are you using. it looks great to me I have a few shell to do this technic thank you
Janice thank you so much for this video!!! I have been doing beading work for years but never felt very comfortable with wire work. I have a bag of shells that I have been fighting with for a while now and I can't wait to use this technique.
Thanks – I love shells and have collected more than I know what to do with. Since I don't know how to safely drill holes into them, I will now try your method of turning the prettiest of them into pendants. I think they'll make nice presents too.
Too long but whats happens at the end?:(
Great video. May I ask what kind of wire you are using? I've purchased some Gold plated wire and used it before but it tarnished. I purchased it at my local craft store. where can I find wire that doesn't tarnish??
Terrific video! I always wanted to know what to do with my shells. What kind of glitter do you use?
its making my eyes go funny. wish you had kept the camera still.
I learnt a lot, thank you..
Entiendo pero no escribo inglés, gracias por su explicación propia de una "maestra", clara, precisa. Voy a tratar de hacerlo, me encanta!!!.Thank you.
do you ever have problems with the glitter coming off on your hands as you wrap? If so how do you remedy this?
