Pretty Idea! Project Tutorial

Have you ever looked at a ‘Pretties Kit’ and thought ‘Surely I could use this for something else other than beautiful cards?’ Well I did and have the answer! When I am teaching classes I struggle to identify where my scissors are, and if you have the Stampin’ Up! scissors (which I would like to say are the best scissors I have ever used in my life) you will know they are to be prized and not to be missed placed. What better way to identify them with and be unique with a charm (yes I did have ribbon tied to them prior to today however I figure quite a lot of other people have ribbon). And because I am sure I will still have my pretties kit at the age of 80!!! (I have a long way to get there,  I like to add) I thought I have another use for it.

I hope you enjoy the tutorial. Thanks to a Rainy day and help from my very good friend Sami I have successfully created my first tutorial. Please tell me what you think.

Supplies

• Pretties Kit (109114, page 149 IB & C 09-10)
• Tiger Tale (found at various craft stores in the beading section)
• Round nosed pliers (I used my ’Crafters’ Tool Kit’,104310, page 155 IB & C 09-10)
• Crip (found at various craft stores in the beading section)

Step 1 – Select the beads and pearls you wish to use and arrange them in a design. Cut a length of ‘Tiger Tale’ and loop around the handle of the scissors.

Step 2 – Thread the beads on the design layed out.

Step 3 – Thread the crimp on the end of the bead  design.

Using the Pliers flatten the crimp so the beads cannot fall off the tiger tale.

Step 4 – You have finished making your scissors unique!!!

Please send me an email or post  a comment. I have a few more coming up. So stay tuned!
