Oh man, I love those peanut beads! I was so sure I didn't or wouldn't. But then I tried them and I like the way they look. Especially the matte ones.
Have fun!

I've been using the Japanese peanut seed beads for several months and just love them. They're great in memory wire bracelets mixed with other beads. I've been designing for several years and never used memory wire till peanuts came along!

Have fun!

Would you mind telling me the colors of these beads? I can see part of the names on some of them. Love these colors and would love to know what they are so I can order some for myself! Thank you!

Bead Soup Blog Party!

The Tacky Earring Blog Hop

Diana Ptaszynski had a great idea, instead of a Tacky Christmas Sweater blog hop, a Tacky Holiday Earring blog hop! I was on it.  I had ideas right away.  I had so many I had to control myself.  You can buy these for $15 each, too!  Here we go! I found these awesome wreaths in the miniature Christmas section in Michaels, and they go perfectly with silver and copper colored plastic beads! These trees were found in Michaels, on an end-cap - I assume they are scrapbook or card making supplies, but make fantastic earrings.  The holes were a little small and far down, so I had to make LARGE loops.  Paired these with cute little gold colored jingle bells! And, finally, the ones I had in my head the moment she announced the blog hop.  Dr. Seuss sparkly puff balls with ribbons.  The only thing that would have made these better for me is if I could have found the red ribbons I really wanted to pair these with - don't get me wrong, the silver is cool and all, but in my head they w
