So I had a little time this morning to play around with the beads I bought for the bandoleer lace project.

The wooden bead, before and after...


On the cartridge for my hubby:

On their leashes:



Happy dance: Now I just need to get the leather bandoleer portion and I can start putting these together!

They look awesome! I'm especially impressed with the wrapping on the wooden beads.

Tell that hubby of yours I say "hi"

Thankees honey, and I will pass along the word!

*blush* Thank you! I have more work to do on finishing the ends, but I am happy with results so far!

you don't happen to have a convenient link for instructions on those covered beads, do you...?

The Renaissance Tailor (http://www.renaissancetailor.com/index.html) has a good set of instructions on how to make these (and a few other more basic styles of fabric covered buttons) here (http://hsifeng.livejournal.com/56327.html?replyto=378119).

Great work on the buttons and cording.

Thanks sweetie, I am happy to have added the covered buttons to my resume...*chuckle* I have plans for them in future - I want to learn some more styles for making them. They are time consuming, but a lot of fun!
