And no...it's not because it's payday! It's because the 1st is ALWAYS Technique Junkies NEW RELEASE day!!
Alright. And because it's payday. But with money I can buy more stamps! Wow. Someone is awfully judgmental.
Okay. Okay. And maybe I'll do some Amazon-ing, Ebay and Etsy-ing, along with other "ing's" but that's all. All that I'm going to admit to, that is. So let's move along, people.
It all started with a phone call.
My friend Jeanette asked if I could think of any original party favors for her 12yo daughter's birthday party. We discussed it for a bit and when we hung up, I had the idea for a beading box.
I took an Altoids tin and painted it with several coats of white gesso. Using a thin but sturdy chipboard, I made dividers then glued them into place. I found a piece of fabric to place in the top so the beads wouldn't roll around while trying out designs. Lastly, I filled the box with various beads and beading cord.
