[Nfb-krafters-korner] Any ideas?

Thu Apr 10 10:01:11 CDT 2008

Hi Terry!
On e-bay I was looking at the junk jewelry.  This particular one with lots
of beads I lost to a higher bidder (it started at 99 cents but went for over
$26) 
Let me know what you might be looking for, and I will watch the auctions for
you!
Are you saying I could glue a lot of these shapes on a mug to be a
catch-all?
Hope you are feeling better!
Di

Where can some of these shapes be found.  Do they have a hole in them?
If they do, I could use them in my plastic canvis.  Long ago, I tried to
make a cleanex box with lite pink heart beads on it, but I could never
get things to line up just right.  It finally went in the trash.  That
is one thing nice with my trade, if something does not work, there is
not much lost and most likely, the yarn you bought can be used for
another craft idea.
Can you all believe, I have even made a few items for the hair.  You can
get pre cut hearts and small squares.  While stitching, I stitched in an
illastic loop to the back and bingo, I had a scrunchy.  I can also make
birets, how ever you spell it.  I could not find it in my 2000 word..  I
even made head bands but never found a way to close them in the back,
that I could do myself.

How about an NFB mug.  It could be used for drinking, contributions,
odds and ends on a desk or just a novelty item.  You would just have to
wash it by hand.  It would have NFB and the Whozit, just like my slate
cases and be housed inside a plastic mug.

Dear All,

My wife and daughter have made some very nice decorated mirrors using
pop beads, sea shells, safety pins and other junk .
They would tape a card borad oval in the center of the mirror and then
begin to fill out the surface of the mirror with beads, coins, pins,
shells, plastic sea horses, star fish, netting and whatever and when
they got something they liked, they would glue it down.
They have done some of the same kind of things with picture frames too.
