This is my newest favorite!!! The hand painted purple stone was a little tricky because the hole was too big and i needed to add spacer beads inside to make it fit tight - but well worth it - LOVE this one!!!
The little rubber protector n the end is a rubber earring back! Thanks so much to Cindy for suggesting this tip for making safe tips!!!!
I found a tutorial for these Yesterday over at Quiltville Quilts and Snips and I just had to make them! They were so fun and easy and I know what everyone in my sewing group is getting from me on FRIDAY!!!!
I tweaked the original design by skipping the glue and opting for a metal bead at the end that can be crimped to secure the beads and they whipped up in less than a minute! No waiting for glue to dry and my beads will never fall off!! LOVE these! Thanks to Mary over at Quiltville Quilts and Snips (http://quiltville.blogspot.ca/2012/04/marys-stilettos.html?showComment=1334810707278#c1814880315761018885)for this amazing idea!!
