hi guys here we are here we are I am back I'm like a bad rash you can't get

rid of me right so yeah we are back today I am back

today and we are going to be making a super fun project this will not be on a

loom it will be on

I'm getting sorry I'm getting for some reason I don't know why um but anyway it will not be on a loop

it will be done by hand and be stitched I'm gonna take this off for now

um it will be stitched if I hate no room here today but we're gonna learn a fun

technique hi Maria Trisha is back with the Vengeance

uh pop up every now and then in the jewel loom lives

um so here we go we have this is the one that was in the photo that we're gonna

work on this is a flat Stitch and I recently learned this like in the

past six months um and I've been really enjoying doing it with cabochons these are the

beautiful cabochons that came in the uh Prague box that Joel's curated for us

when she went to the Czech Republic so we wanted to make sure and show you some things that you could do with it and

this is definitely something you can make into a pendant um or make earrings if you like bigger

earrings you don't have to go with it you can put less roads around it things

like that and that can give you more of like an earring size I don't mind the

size for earrings really because I usually go big or go home but here is

another one that I did with one of the um green ones let me grab that better

we go and I'll show you them on the mat as well but that is the green one that I did now

I did use some cup chain on this guys so if you have that handy you can use it if

you don't we can just use the seed beads no problem hi everybody hi so glad to see everybody

let me just say hello to a few folks before we go down to the mat Deb is here

hi dab so good to see you Gloria and Stephanie and Sandy and Bonnie Harry

Maria all my girls it's so good to see all of you again

um I will be going back to starting my live very soon Thursdays at 3 P.M on the

beach so you can check that out and as always guys

um I have a YouTube channel I have Tick Tock Instagram Facebook if you're not

following me or subscribe to my YouTube Channel please do so that helps me a lot

I'm really close to get to a thousand on YouTube so that would be amazing if you

have not subscribed certainly done that for me all right great so hi Rose how are you

sweetie um I'm gonna go ahead and turn the camera around now just fair warning guys

um I'm going to it may take a little bit for the camera to turn so you may see my

face Frozen a few minutes

it'll take a little while um to turn so don't don't worry we will get

there hopefully um with no problems but let me get that turned around for us

sure

okay here we are it wasn't so bad right so here is let me turn this light down

because this does help shed a little bit more light on the subject here

hi Rhonda nice to see you too sweetie um here are pieces that we are gonna learn we're gonna

learn this one today with these beautiful blue purple and pink beads just really adorable and then this green

example that I made and just shows you like on this one I kind of color blocked a little bit

and you know

this one I just kind of kept it sick I did one row of variegated then I did the

purple on the outside and then the purple around the edges

guys I hate to do this to you but can you hold on for just one moment

hey no no you can't get down there

okay we actually have an extra dog in the house tonight and that's part that's the

main problem my brother has a um huge yellow lab and he has a mind of his own

and there was a baby gate at the bottom of the stairs and he kind of you know knock that down he's you know it's

so anyway getting on with our project here so here are our projects and the

first thing we can start out doing is like I said if you have some cup chain it does really Pop there's Julie hi

Julie okay and the cup chain does really make it pop so I like to

um use it again your preference is kind of I'll put these here so you can kind of look at them as we're working on them

so what I did is I just took one of those beautiful cabochons that we got

and I will show you the cabochon just in case you did not get them you can you'll know what to

look for so basically this is an acrylic cabochon and there's a lot of companies now that

have these that you can purchase from them um that they have the flat back on them

you could also use natural stones anything

um like that that has a flat back works perfectly so what I do is I just use a

little bit of this Pell on now pellon is not necessary but I do like it for these

projects because it's it's a backing that's made for stitching sewing and

wardrobe machines things like that some of you Crafters may know about Pelon

but if you this is a medium weight that I have doubled they do make a heavy weight as well and

um you could also use felt and just double that up just to get a stiff material to stitch on it just makes life

a lot easier you can get the pill on at Walmart or Jo-Ann Fabrics if you are

looking for that I would recommend getting the heavy weight versus the mid so you don't have to double it so I did

is I just took some b7000 you can use E6000 super glue whatever is your

desired glue of choice and glue your cabochon to the middle of

your backing okay once you let that dry which I did ahead so we would be nice and dry here

um you're going to add your cup chain so what I like to do is I take my cup chain

and I lay it around my cabochon okay just like so

and I kind of see how much I'm gonna need

doesn't have to be exactly perfect as you're doing this but

it gives you a good idea so as I get to the bottom here

I can see I'm gonna be able to cut right at that cup and that's going to give me the exact distance around that I need

so I'm just going to take my pliers in here and I'm just going to trim

right at that cup at the end of that uh and then all we're going to do is we're

going to take a little bit of the beat 7000 or whatever you oops and we're going to glue our cup chain from the

reason I like this glue is because this smaller tip on it which makes it a

lot easier to control doing things like this so we're just going to go right around the outside edge of our beautiful

cabochon just like so just putting the glue the

whole way around it and then put your lid back on

and then you're going to lay your cup chain into the glue so we're going to start here at the bottom

and I'm just going to work that down and pushing it into the glue

so it's nice and snug in there

okay I'm just working around and if you do happen to measure wrong

which it looks like I do have one extra cup here I don't know that it's I kind of spread it out and with cup chain you

can spread it out or you can push it together because they have those little um hinges in the middle so now that I

pushed it together it's perfect okay just push it a little closer back together and now it was

perfect for that so you see that was just very simple you would just let that dry before you start your seed beading

so again I do have another one here that's ready for us to roll and to start

our seed beading on now what I did on this pattern is I just

went um blue pink blue purple pink blue you know

it's just a very simple pattern I just use the blue pink blue purple and then

pink blue pink purple so just going back and forth on that so I'm going to take

um Phillip I'm peeking behind the curtain of Wizard of Oz it looks so mysterious

but maybe I can do it you can do it you can do it Terry just hang in there and you'll be able to see you'll be able to

do it honey okay so now we're gonna do is in my needle this is a two needle

it's my perfect I'm using the wildfire in Frost it's the

0.006 0.15 millimeter and I've just

pulled about my wingspan of wildfire off and I've tied a little knot on the end

of my Wildfire okay that's all you need to do just something to stop it from coming through the front of the backing

and then I do like to wax my my Wildfire this is the wax I use I got it off

Amazon but there's waxes out there everywhere all the stores have them when businesses so I just like to wax mine I

feel like it flows a little easier so all we're going to do we have our cup

chain is now dry we're going to take our needle underneath and we're going to poke that up right

beside that cup chain just leave maybe a millimeter space so it's not tight tight

tight against it adjust a little bit here

just gonna finagle that up through just make sure I have it where I want it yeah and it's just enough away from it that

everything's not going to be um tight roll tight against it okay so we're going to pull our needle through

and then pull our thread and it's just as simple as that and we can serve seed

beading so we're going to start our pattern like I said whatever pattern makes you happy these seed beads that

I'm using are all the nose these were also in your frog box

you don't have the ones from the Prague box you can use whatever you have whatever colors you like this is a

beautiful pink this is the ceylon in innocent pink I love this it's one of my

favorites the Jules carries and then this one is inside color rainbow Rosalina

link drawing which is also stunning and I Jules picked out a good combination here

um that went perfectly with these cabochons so we're just going to pick up a blue

pink a blue and I like to usually pick up six beads

but I'm gonna pick up seven because I want to make sure um that I have the space bead between

them the purple spacer bead between the two runs and then I'm gonna go pink

oops pink blue pink okay

so I'll show you that so that's going to give us seven beads

and then we will end with a purple as well we'll start with a purple and the

other one excuse me I'm sorry so we're going to drop those beads down

and we're just going to start laying that against our cup chain okay

just like so and you're going to see here I use my thumb here to kind of keep that snug against my cup chain all right

and I'm just going to take my needle and again about a millimeter in front of the final bead that you put on there I know

it's going to be hard to see I'm gonna put my needle down through

the backing okay we're gonna pull that

all right so now

you've got that pulled it's in place it's nice and snug around the edge but that's not going to be good enough

because that's going to still be you know it's easy to see on there and that's not what we want so with the flat

Stitch what it consists of is that when we take my needle and I'm going to go through beads back and I'm going to go

between the seed bead and the cocktail with my needle

okay on the inside near the cup chain okay you can see

where I'm putting that I hope and then I'm going to pull that up through

and this is the flat Stitch Part guys a big part of it so there is a thread that goes through these beads so what we're

doing is we're literally tacking down the thread between the beads we're not tacking down the literal beads but the

thread so I went between the cup chain and the seed beads here so I'm going to go between the second and third bead

okay and I'm going to put my needle down right beside that

outside on the outside okay so that that thread so if our thread runs this way

through our beads This Thread is going to run across and it's going to tack it down for us if you understand what I'm saying

so we're going to pull that through

and we're just going to kind of keep it lined up so we can get it between that second and third bead so it doesn't pop

over don't wanna pull that down and that first section

has now completely packed in place so that I'm going to go back two more

beads and I'm going to go between that second bead and the cup chain

again and pull that up through

then I'm going to go over top of the seed beads over top of that thread

that runs through there and over to the other side and take my needle and go down through the backing okay

and we're tacking those two down and then we're going to go two more because we have an odd number so we'll

do the do two more which is normally what I do with the six anyway but our seven will be fine just

that last bead will be fine so same thing up between this is now the six

speed and the seventh speed that we're gonna go between camera doesn't decide there we go

and then just pull your thread go over top and on the other side of the

thread running through the seed beads down through

Tech all right does that making sense to

everybody so far so now what we're going to do is we need

to get our needle back up here in the front because being right-handed I like to work work right to left around my

cabochons is just more comfortable for me um so you may want to work left to right

I don't know if you're left-handed but what I like to do then once I've gone through and tacked down my beads

I'm going to pop up right at the end of those beads okay back end here

put my needle up through okay

makes sense yes okay good and we're pulling that

up behind that last bead and we're going to put our needle through all of these beads you may not be able to do it at

once once you're really going around a curve like this up here this pink bead so what I'll do is I'll put it through

the beads that I can and then go through that bead by itself

if need be okay

and now we're back out at the front and we're ready to proceed with another

set of beads okay so let's do another set so we're going to do the purple

and the blue pink blue

purple and pink

hello pink okay so now you can see there's not

seven beads there's eight beads on there so for our first run we have our seven but on the next one we're gonna have

eight and then going forward we're gonna have eight because that's how we're going to

get our speed that is in between the the runs of the pinks and the blues okay so

we're gonna do eight beads and put that down

and we're just gonna pull that again so it's nice and snug and I'm going to

keep my thumb there to keep it in place and I'm going to push my beads back a

little bit with my finger just to make sure everything's nice and snug and tight there and we're going to come up between

the cup chain

he's popping up a little bit of room to breathe there we go

so we're going to go between the cup chain and the second bead right there

now what are we doing here

Harley Quinn from the front the front hold on one second guys let me just re-thread this quick

it's a little bit

there we go on the top sorry about that get my needle back threaded and we'll

continue sorry about the dogs barking the guys

left and kind of on our own me on my own Muslims

so par for the course okay so we drop our a beads down and then on the front we're holding that

in place and we're going to go down in front of that last bead okay

and pull that down through how did I map it out to know that my

pattern would work um I gotta tell you really Terry I'm Gonna Fly by the seat

of your pants type of gal so I really didn't map it out I just kind of went with it and then

just would deal with it however it landed but you guys a lot of you are a lot more meticulous than that so you

know you might want to just kind of um

measure I mean how that would be around a cabochon I'm not sure but for me I

just kind of eyeballed it and I was like okay we're gonna fly by the seat of our pants I like this pattern we're gonna go

for it now I have no problem if it doesn't land on exactly the bead that

it's supposed to that doesn't bother me because nobody's really gonna notice that when they're looking at this piece

because there's so much to it you know if there's a purple where it's not

supposed to be or whatever you know as long as it's not um right next to each other you'll be fine

you know but that's just how it worked out nephew that's the truth so what I like

to do guys that is the perfect answer okay so what I like to do and I don't know if I showed you this but I'd like

to kind of wrap this around my finger a little bit on the back and hold on to my Pelon

as that's keeping that down as I'm going to put my needle up between the cup chain and that second bead

okay just to kind of keep it nice and snug and then I'm going to pull up through that and we're tacking down between the

second and the third bead okay

down through

and again I'm guiding that with my left thumb just to make sure that it pops between the second and the third B

because that's where I want it okay so we're gonna go another two

go between the cup chain and the seed beads

we're gonna go between four and five

and again I'm going to guide that with my thumb to where I want it

okay I'm kind of keeping my thumbnail over top of that bead behind it so it does not pop

somewhere else or onto where I don't so we've got

four or five now we're going to go 11.

so six and seven

and then we're just gonna go over top again tack that down

and then we have seven and eight so we'll tack what we're going to do

here I think is we're not going to attack anymore I think we're good it's back there I'm gonna go between the eighth bead

of this run and the first beat of first run

that makes sense so we're going to count down to eight there's two four it's

eight so we're going to go up between excuse me the first feed and the second

bead on the first run guys so basically what we're doing is we're just securing

this next row to the first row by going through the first bead and then up

through uh the rest of the beads on the top like we did before but we're just

hooking it to that first row by grabbing that bead so this pink bead right here

is from the first row that we did so we're going to go up through that

I'm just kind of gonna work with your needle to get it go between and then we're going to work our way up

through the new row that we just put on okay and again you need to just do some

of them and then catch the rest of them you can certainly do that so now it is secured not only to the

bottom of the pedal on it's referred to that but first row that we did so

there's two runs right there guys so that is the basic if you want me to

do one more run I can do that just let me know in the comments but

that is all you do to go around your your piece and then when you go to put

your next row on you're just going to pop your needle out on the outside of your seed beads so say

if we had the whole row on here I would go down through this whole amount was

filled in here I would go down through the Pelon on between the last bead and

the first bead okay

to get that underneath there what is the ideal run length is there such a thing as too long

um I prefer six yes there is such as too long because I think that

you don't get it be as well with a longer run there's more of a chance of

it becoming more wildly and because you have to kind of keep everything snug and

I think for me six is manageable and everything stays nice and snug and nice and tight

but that's me personally you could certainly experiment maybe you would be more comfortable more

but I like sex so we've gone down through as if we finish this whole row around

and what I would do then is I would just pop back up

between on the outside excuse me of our seed bead roll that we've just made because

we're going to start a new CP row so you want to be on the outside of that so if you're going to start another row

around that's all you'd have to do just go down through and then come back up on the outside of the road that you just

finished that makes sense so you can see here that I did two rows

I did the row the variegated and then I did a row of the purple

and that's all I did I just put my needle down through when I was done and brought it back up on the outside of

that row and then started my purple row okay

all right so if that makes sense to everyone so once you get your rose on

however many you want I did two you can do one you can do however many if you want guys so I'm gonna put my needle

onto this one because we're going to go ahead and move forward with putting the backing on

so I'm just going to use a piece of felt today you can use leather I left mine downstairs so we're just going to use

with what we have here so I just have this little pink

a piece of fleece up here that I'm going to use that works just fine but it's

whatever you like whatever works for you the leather looks nice suede looks nice

you know all of those got that done we're gonna thread this

needle and I'm going to show you the next steps on putting your backing on okay

because we're going to need this in just a minute after we do our back okay so now we've got our whole pattern

finished here I might have missed did you anchor the cup chain to even with gluing it I did not but you could

certainly do that you can anchor it with a thread Terry um go for it but you can certainly just

tack it down between the cups like we did the seed beads I haven't had any problem with the cup

chain moving with the glue but you know if that's something that you'd like to do go for it okay so now we have all of

our rows on and what I'm going to do now and you can see this is basically what it looks like

on the back it's pretty it's pretty neat it's it's you know kind of it's condensed in there behind the scene

beads so you know you're welcome Terry that you can go ahead and cut around it and you're going to be fine so I always

use these shears um these are the cord cutting shears and I know I shouldn't be doing it but they

work so well for me but if you have a nice um sharp pair of scissors they would as

well and what I do is I'll just cut in with my card patterns

so and

angle them out just so okay

and just trim around and we're just angling them out just a hair

and we're cutting that backing off right now okay

so we're cutting it nice and close to our seed beads we don't want to go through crazy clothes because we don't want to cut our threads but if you keep

it this ankle when you're trimming you're gonna have pretty good luck

okay okay so once you do that then you're going to

cut out a piece of your backing hold on one moment okay

okay so we're going to just cut out a little square piece of our backing just enough that you know

would work to fit on the backing now I can tell you

um the ultra suede looks nice like I said the leather looks nice

um I actually found some vinyl sheets at uh Hobby

um so we're just going to take and

glue backing onto your to your piece okay so I'm just going to take some more

of my these b7000 and go around the edge to make sure it's nice and sealed around

the edge for us okay

okay put that back in there and then we're gonna put our piece onto our backing

just like so just hold it there for a few minutes and let it dry

I'm just making sure that that's all sealed around the edges there guys just going around

and making sure it's nice and snug and then we're going to take our shears and do the exact same thing

just angled them out and trim off that backing images all

right so then we have all of the pieces

now this backing is also going to be stitched on so you don't have to worry about it falling off now you could leave

it if you didn't want to stitch on your backing and do the edging you could leave it just like so

um some people don't mind the raw Edge I do like an edging online

of all of mine but you know that's definitely I like to you know more is

more right so that's true like I said

you got that up to the edges some snug

all right that's just what it looks like and you can go around and look if you have like a little piece sticking out I

also do that with the white if I see a little bit sticking out I'll trim it or whatever but it's going to be covered up

with an Eco Stitch and that's what I'm going to show you right now

so what I normally do is thumb is 3B

3B of the edges you may need to adjust depending on the

thickness of your piece so I did the purple on the edge of this

one Edge kind of Blended it with that last row but you could change that up if you wanted to put

um another uh color there it would certainly look cute so I'm going to pick

up three and again this is kind of a fly by this in my pants as I know what kind

of backing I'm picker so we'll see if the three work like I did on this where I use the ultra

Spade okay but you know you can play around with yours but this should work so what I'm

going to do is I put my three beads on my three eleven nose and you could also guys if you don't want to use 11s you

could do this but keep that with

me here through my backing and you can see where my thread is the front might be done already and I'm

Gonna Come through the back of the backing here the pink backing and

I'm going to angle my needle up it's not going to go through because we wanted to

catch the backing that you just put on and the backing that you stitched onto

so if you come up in an angle I don't know if you can see my needle coming out there

we're catching both of those backings without disturbing the seed beads and making threads on the front

my hands are in here so you can kind of see that angle okay

so if you do that through and you're just going to pull your thread and those beads those threads

going to go into a circle so it's automatically going to go into that Pico

Stitch let me just remember throwing back on this side it'll automatically go into that picot

Stitch Okay so there is

your edging okay it's as simple as that so now we're just going to work our way around we're

going to pick up three more beads this is really simple guys and I hope that

this project isn't intimidating and you you will try it because once you get the hang of it

there's a lot of variations you can do so I'm going right in beside the last one that I did here on the back my

Stitch is going to be right in the vicinity you'll find that right next to it okay see

just like in there and then I'm going to angle it again push it through both

backings okay up and out

pull my thread and there's my next row you can see how

easily that comes together okay so let's do some more let's do a

few more rows of this

I'm sure our seed beads down and the reason I push

they always end up falling off on me I push them into the thread so we're

going to do the same thing we're going to go inside the last one that we did an angle

our needle

just make sure I'm in the right position towards the neighbor for me there we go

and there's our third row and we're just going to work our way around

putting that edging on

a little bit okay

and same thing at an angle up and through

okay thank you Rose I appreciate that so much

honey you're such a good designer that means a lot coming from you all are beautiful designers I have to

say so that's the basic on that okay I think

you guys probably have that down I don't need to bore you with um doing the whole way around on that

piece could you back it with another cab and make it double-sided using a

complimentary color for the Pico Stitch absolutely Terry your brilliant

oh my gosh that would be so fun please do that and I want I want pictures

thank you Bonnie okay so now that we have our Stitch along the edge you would have done the whole edge of

course once that is done looking at this and this is what your backside

just tacked onto your backing everything's nice and secure everything's covered up

to get a nice like lace type appearance on the edge with your picot but now we want a hanger

we want to be able to a bale for lack of Adventure I was saying hey a male we

want to bail on our piece so on this one I just did a simple row of 11 0's again

this you could go in and use your eight O's and a bigger uh make a bigger bail for you

whatever you like but I'm just going to take this thread that I have here

and I'm going to make a knot at the end

okay I'm just gonna make it and just like we did at the beginning

and we're just going to trim it just to leave right a little bit below that knot

our needle

the right side that threaded through there

so and what we're going to do you want to find where you want the top

to be okay so to me it's easy for me to look at the way the snowflake is and

there's the the one stem of it points straight up I'm going to use that as my top Center

so if that's my top Center I'm going to go just to the right of that

okay and I'm again we're going to use that angle technique and I'm going to go everything that we

do with this um Veil as far as the stitches and stuff will be hidden inside your picot Stitch

okay so I'm just going to go in an angle here right around my row where my picot is

and I'm going to go in through there make sure I'm not too low

through there and I'm angling through both backings and my needles coming up at an angle out

of that line of Eco okay and we're just going to pull that

through and there's a little tiny thread hanging there from your knot you can trim that

when you're done so I'm just gonna add Let's see we did how many did I do up here two four

chains like that so let's do let's just do six six

one two I'm just gonna use the purple

eat and

then 12. 15.

15 and 16. depends on how long you want your bail to be

um as to how many beads you're going to put on again if you use the eights you'd use less beads

um unless you wanted a really long Bale so our beads are on now we're going to do

the same thing we're going to go to Quick Set we're going to go to the left of this way so we have our beads coming out

our string coming out to the right now we're going to go to the left and we're going to go in through the front not in

through the front of our flat Stitch but in through the front of the picot Stitch

okay because we want it to kind of be centered here so we're going to go through that

at an angle we're angling backward now and we're grabbing the pillow on

obviously and going through where the first Stitch is so we don't see much

on that okay

now this one's sitting more toward the front if you wanted to be more toward the back just bring your threads up

through there

It's a larger belt but so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to go take that thread

and I'm gonna go back up through sorry I was pulling my

clothes the ultra suede and the Pelt again sorry

I was reading comments there guys I'm gonna come out in an angle right in front of the bead the last bead on my

bow okay so it's coming up back up through there okay

guys you can just purchase I got my cup chain at Hobby Lobby Michael's has it anywhere like that

we have it on the roll so so we're back up in front of that bead

and what I'm going to do is I'm going to go back up through all of these seed beads because I don't just want one

thread going through these little bit just to be nice and secure so I'm gonna pull that

just like so and it's snugging down and I'm going to continue going through all the seed

beads that I put on for the mail going back to there and sometimes when it gets so snug you kind of have to move

your needle around um to get it to go where it needs to go

there we go and we're not going through all of them at one time

doing it and a lot of times if it's too snug you have to pull your Needle Rock

it back and forth I have

this this last bead so I'm just going to crack that off right now guys but you

get the idea sometimes you have seed beads that have smaller groups than them

and you can't get as many threads through them that's what happened there

so I'm just going to continue through my seed beat

okay and then we're going to come down through that last one and we're going to go down into the backing

that we have there in a month remember apologize down into the backing

and then out

through that ultra suede and then that Eco group

okay so you can see how nice and neat that is on the back how nice and neat it is on the front

and that's plenty strong enough we're just going to tie it off now we're just going to tie our strand off

and I usually just wrap it around one of the picot stitches one of the threads

for that so I can make a nice couple knots I'm just going to knot it

actually let's do where that's coming out and do that on the other side

gonna give us a string across see right there if we don't do it on the other side so

wear your threads coming out that's where you're going to grab onto your picot which makes sense

okay so

our thread coming out on the right side

come on okay so you see where your thread's coming out that's where you just want to

stay in that vicinity to tie it off okay

and I'm just going to rethread this quick so basically yeah that's all you're

doing you're just tying it off with the smoke knot just to um

stays in place if you want to go through your bell again you can start

I found that twice is plenty and the bell holds nicely

going to finish that note ever stop giving me trouble

that's always the last thing is that there's always a lot of things

there we go and you're just gonna knot that

do that twice and cut it and that's all she wrote guys we talked that in 50

minutes can you I taught that in 15 minutes I didn't know how that was gonna go worked out well here is your finished

piece pretty back pretty front makes a

gorgeous pendant again if you want to make them a little smaller you can certainly scale everything down

in this email without caption yes I you must not have caught that but he did say

you do not have to use cup chain you can just use seed beads you have silver seed beads you want to get kind of the same

effect you could use that thank you Julie thank you Maria you could use that kind of silvery coated bead or if you

didn't even want that effect you could just start with your seed beans I've done pieces like that

um here's one that I did was a peach in the middle of it and I

just started with seed beans I didn't put any cupcake so you can you can do

this around any shape it doesn't have to be a perfectly round item

oh honey don't worry about it Terry no problem but it can be any sheep item that you can do this technique with and

you can see that's some of the glitter vinyl that I found at Hobby Lobby that I used on the back of that one

so yeah there's a lot of options with this guys please the sky's the limit and please if you do this I want to see

photos guys I can't wait so I'm going to turn my camera around here again this may take a moment bear with me

and put my ears back in for Joan
