I thought I would have a go at making my own stitch markers. The few that I do have are lovely, and on closer examination look quite easy to do. As luck would have it, there is a scrapbooking/craft/bead shop literally on my street, that has only opened relatively recently. I've been itching to get in there, but most of the time I have the boys with me and this isn't really conducive to browsing beads, without worrying about whether someone is destroying another part of the shop LOL Well yesterday I decided I just had to go, kids or no kids, so M went in the Ergo (what a wonderful invention that is!) and L had the promise of a trip to the DVD shop (right next door) to encourage him to behave himself. I got a couple of tools, some wire and some beads and today I made my very first stitch markers while the boys ate lunch :)
And a close up of the beads. I chose everything based on the beautiful beads with the roses on them. They were nearly $4 each! but they are so beautiful and the rest of it was relatively inexpensive so that makes up for it :)
I think I have a new addiction LOL
I'm signing up for their next beginner beading class :)
