Lovely and well done - but what are they used for??

If you have a look at Vix3n thread on NH section dated 19th October, it explains it! :)

[teabiscuit]

whoohoo i've wanted to have a go at that for ages, where did you get the beads from and what did you thread them onto?
i love 'em :D

[nicolaj]

They're painted wooden beads threaded onto cotton thonging stuff. (very technical!)

Got them from a bead shop in my local area. Put a small hair slide at one end to fix to his mane and just tied up the ends.

Not sure he is that impressed by them however! We shall see how we get on as I'll have them on him when doing some ground work.:)

Well Done

Those are lovely Nicolaj ;) Will they break easily if they get caught on something? I couldn't tell what you threaded the beads onto from the picture. How long did it take you to make it? I don't think I'd have the patience:D Now , you can make a matching fly mask:p

[nicolaj]

It took me an evening and a big glass of red wine!:D

Once I got into the rhythm (sorry no pun) it was quite easy.

Obviously, I only put them on to take the picture, he isn't mooching about the field with them on now! But they are made from a cotton thread which I would have thought would break under pressure.

Think I'd need two big glasses of red wine:p They're gorgeous;)

Thanks Julia!

Sometimes however, the bead holes weren't quite the same size so had to get a knife out an dig in a little, but kept my sanity, oh yes and another glass of wine!:D

[Vix3n]

AHHHH you beat me to it, still waiting for the little bells to arrive(had to order them). They look fab:)

[Sarah-B]

Oooh, well done, they are luvverly!!

[The Original Crazywoman]

I'm in the process of making some too! Have got some beads, but others I ordered have holes too small to thread on to the cotton cord I bought. :(

Have got some bells too - can't wait to get them done! :)
