FAIRY CHARM

When I decided to try this adorable beaded Fairy Charm, I never expected it would take TWO hours, fingers bleeding from being poked with the wire, and a whole lot of frustration!!!!
The first one is always the hardest, and to add to the frustration it was hard to get the wire to go through a bugle bead and size 11 seed bead twice.I used the size 30 wire as per instructions.
I am going to use fireline for the next one and see how that works.......Yes I WILL try again cuase they are so darned cute.

LOL!!! I had to laugh at this. The first time I made these beaded fairies I was showing some girls how to do it. We had quite a time and I wished I had thought of using a beading thread instead of wire. Those thin wires hurt!!!!
Cute fairy.
Hugs,Pat

I love your little fairy, she is sooooo sweet. And the dragonfly. I think it is looking great. I love dragonflies. I've got that tutorial and one day I'll try it. Sounds like a lot of us have been organizing lately. I just cleaned out my material.
Hope you have a great weekend.
