C is for me!

This is another quickie, if you have the materials around. Otherwise, you would have to go to the craft store,

where I get lost in a time warp...then its not too quick. This makes a great gift tag or decoration for your kitchen.

Materials:

• 20 gauge wire
  
• beads
• needle nose/round tipped pliers
• wire cutters (don't try to use your scissors, you'll ruin them)
• Optional: a boyfriend to fix your broken dresser

Using wire cutters, NOT SCISSORS, cut the wire about 12 inches in length. Using pliers, pinch the very end of the wire and wrap it around the pliers' tip one time to make a small loop, similar to a charm bracelet, or a pendant you would put on a necklace. This is your "knot" and will prevent the beads from falling off. Strand your beads onto the wire leaving about 2 inches of wire empty after all of your beads are on. Make another "knot" at this end. You will notice your beads will have room to move around because of that extra space you left. This enables you to bend your wire and make turns and corners in your letters of shapes. Now, bend your wire to the letter or shape you would like. Trim the excess wire and re-"knot" the end. Stop knotting and show off your initial.

Inspiration..who else?

Cheers...to sticking up for yourself.
