Mini Biscornu Beaded Scissor Fob and some general info

I have quite a few mini biscornu charts and I would love to make some beaded scissors fobs attaching to them. Here is my first try. I had a hard time take pictures, I don't have a macro function with my digital camera to take some detailed pictures. I do carry all the supplies to make one in my web site, you just need to come up with your beads or you purchase the beads that I carry. I will have more examples in August and September. When I get a chance, I may do a simple tutorial with pictures. Of course, there are many different ways to make a beaded scissors fobs, and this is my version.

You don't need any special tool in my version.It will only take less than 15 minutes to make one. The most time consuming part is to decide what beads to use and the order of the beads.

Supplies:

1. Bead Tips... use to start and end the threads. I tied a few knots and then thread a seed bead to secure the threads, tied a few more knots before closing the "tip". (This eliminates the use of crimp beads or crimp tool and your ending threads are neatly hidden and secured inside the bead tips.

2. Beading thread, Lobster Clasp, beading needle

3. Beads, spacing beads, charms, and bead flower caps (optional)

It is a lot of fun and it does not cost a lot of money to make one.

Anita's Stitching with ThreadworX 1156 Botanic Garden and Caron Wildflowers Cerise

I love hardanger designs but I don't care for the cut work. So here it is a hardanger Bicornu without cutting. I stitched it with ThreadworX 1156 Botanic Garden with Quaker light sand linen and Mill Hill beads and it turned out very pretty. The round pincushion is my first try of this type of finishing, it is so easy and I am working on my second one. The pincushion is stitched with Caron wildflowers Cerise.

3 Scissors Fobs idea for the new Cat Scissors

I looked through my stash and came up with 3 cat theme designs. I made them into scissors fobs. It took me a few evenings to finish the stitching and the finish work. I think they are perfect for the new Cat Scissors:

The second scissors fob is stitching one over one thread.
