~Napkin Rings~


One of my recent library books had instructions to make beaded napkin rings. I've been wanting to try my hand at a beading project, and it looked like a good beginner project. Pictured are the first two I made.

I bought enough beads to make a set of four, and I'll have plenty of beads left over to make other projects with! I haven't made the other two yet.

I am pleased with how they turned out. I do need to get the wire ends turned a different way though, because they will snag the napkins otherwise.

I didn't buy any beading tools, and the only wire cutters I could find around our house were our needle-nose pliers that happen to have wire cutters in them.

I love them, do you remember the name of the book?

Have you ever crocheted with wire? I want to try that next.

Maybe why you can't get all those other books read is because you are too busy creating?!

:o)

Those are so beautiful, they look red like rubies! Of course, my eyes aren't all that great lately, but that's the first thing I thought when my eyes first hit them. Soooo pretty!
