STEPHIE'S BEADS AND BAUBLES

I will be selling in a booth at a craft fair in October and decided to make up a bunch of earrings to bring. I thought it would be fun to do both a YouTube Video and a blog post about it since I had it all out anyway.

link to the video here

I took a bunch of pictures to show what I have been working on, and my process for making over 80 earrings.

first I string all the beads on the head pins, add any charms , just having fun designing all kinds of different earrings.

Once I have everything the way I want them I will then loop them all. In these pictures there are still a few I have to finish, but I need to find specific beads for those. Once I am done, I will loop every single pair

Once I loop them all, I will then put ear wires on them all.

Once the ear wires are done I will card them all

I have not decided if I will bag them or not, I like the idea of celephane bags but worry that people might want to touch them.

It depends on if I get my own booth with space to spread out or end up sharing with with our younger daughter where I only have a small amount of space and they might be in a basket which would be easier if they are bagged.

I am hoping I hear soon that I either have my own booth, or I do not and I will be sharing with our daughter. It is really cutting it close for them to get back to me about it. I will not have much time to get a lot of stuff ready for that show, but I will make it happen if they tell me I have a spot !! Either way, I just want to know. I might not hear back at all . I hope they will let me know either way !!! Not sure if the link will work before then. If not, just check back after six tomorrow as I am writing this Tuesday night Sept 10.

Thanks for stopping by,

Stephie
