Me & my craftie self!

Today I was itching to do something craftie.  While my little guy was sleeping I decided to do some beading.  I love those watches with the beaded bands, so a while back I bought some stuff and did some.

Then one of my favorites broke so today I fixed it and I made two more.  The only hard part for me is putting the beads together.  I want to have them funky, but I need them to be systematical.  I know I am a lot little crazy.

I wanted to show you how I do them, and you can make some too!

First off these are the tools that I use:

There is my beading board, my pliers, beads, crimping beads, claps, wire, wire cutters, rice cakes & a capri sun.   Don't you like the binky & the car keys.  I don't' know why they were all there.  I also had the one that I already made and git well so that I can measure to make sure that they are the right size.

Here is the beading board up close.  This really comes in handy.

If not they beads are rolling everywhere.

Next here is my band all laid out.  I have to mental think about how I need to put it together.  I have made a few that things where backwards and I had to redo them.  Not fun when you spent the last half hour putting them together.  Another thing, I don't' have tons of money to burn, so my beads aren't super amazing beads.  But it was what I had.

Here are the three that I got done before the little guy work up.  I also did a necklace that is really fun!  I will show you that tomorrow.

Here are some close up of the beads, I love the blue one &

can't wait to wear it!  I love the spacer.

Thanks for stopping by and let me know what you think!
