Beady Foam Turtle

Designed by: Amy Law
Skill Level: Intermediate

If you have a son or daughter who always wanted a pet turtle, but YOU didn't want to take care of a pet turtle, make this cute no-mess version out of foam sheets, beads, and colorful metallic threads. Your kids will love making this easy "pet" that's pocket-sized!
Materials:

• Green & Yellow Fun Foam (Westrim brand)
• Blue & Yellow cabochons
• 8x10 Treasure Tape Sheet
• Diamond Beadlets
• Kreinik Dimensional Threads: Gold Braid Assortment

Instructions:

1. Using the template, trace your pieces onto the green and yellow fun foam.  Cut them out carefully.  Use an x-acto knife to cut out the holes in the "shell" layer of the pattern.  Peel back the white backer side of your tape and place the yellow body layer on the tape. Cut out the shape and repeat to apply tape to the second side.  Press out from the center with your fingers to smooth out any air bubbles.
2. Peel back the red liner on the bottom of your yellow piece.  Place your feet and tail pieces on the tape, and then align the yellow body shape with the bottom green shape.  Press to adhere firmly.   Peel the red liner off the top of your yellow body piece.  Align the top green piece over it, and press them together.
3. Begin to embellish.  Use your gold threads to make a pattern on your "shell".
4. When finished embellishing, use your red liner to press all threads firmly into the tape.  Place your design in a tray or
ziploc bag and pour Diamond Beadlets over the exposed tape.  Swirl with your fingers to cover fully. Tap to remove excess beadlets.

Beaded Candle Technique

 

Beaded Candle Technique

Designed by: Amy Law
Skill Level: Beginner

Dress up a purchased candle with metallic fibers and beads, easily attached with double-sided tape. The result is classy, boutique-quality décor that embellishes your holiday festivities or everyday rooms.
Material:

• pillar candle (purchased from a discount store)
• burgundy cabochons
• Kreinik Threads used in the burgundy candle model: #12 Braid 308 Colonial Red, 150V Vintage Amber, 152V Vintage Sienna,1/8" Ribbon 203 Flame.
• Diamond Beadlets®
• 1" roll of double-sided red-liner Treasure Tape
• Ziploc® bag or shallow tray
• Kreinik threads used in the golden candle model: #12 Braid 850 Mallard, 3202 Cat's Eye, 1/8" Ribbon 087C Meadow Grass

Instructions:
1. Apply tape to the base of your candle. (Make sure your tape is above the part of the candle which sits in a holder; you can place it in a holder and make a line as a guide)
2. Remove the red liner from your tape. Begin embellishing with thread. We recommend starting at one edge and working upwards. Use the liner or your fingers to press your threads into the tape occasionally.
3. When you are done embellishing, place your candle in a shallow tray or a Ziploc® bag and pour beadlets over the exposed tape. Swirl with fingers to cover fully, and tap to remove excess beadlets.
Note: This technique is intended primarily for decorative candles. If you intend to burn the candle, be careful not to let it burn down to the decorated area. For large pillar candles, you can burn them down partway and then insert a tea light inside, and light that instead.
