[Nfb-krafters-korner] Types of Needles to Purchase

[Michelle Clark]

Hi Joyce,

I  am thinking  I  will try both ribbon and the cord. I  have plenty curling
ribbon here from previous projects  and will try diffirent things. I  agree
about the bread wire.  They worked for bookmarks our Chapter did but the
work here is     a  tad more intricate and the wire broke  when we were
making the Santa's. I  will get mine finished. I  found the tape this
weekend.

In regards to the beads, I  an not sure. I  am interested in experimenting.
When I  could see, I  would purchase lot bags at MJ Designs or Hancock
Fabrics.   I  will learn more as the classes go on.

Michelle

Michelle,

This all depends on what type of cord or ribbon you plan on using.  If you
use curling ribbon that is less then 1/4"  then a blunt tapestry size 16
needle is what you need.

The cording I sent words best if you put tape on the end.  If you use the
bread ties it is not easy pulling the thread thru especially on the next
project   as passing 3 of these cords thru is a bit tough.

Pony beads are what we use on the Santa and other projects that I teach and
you can find them around.  The harder thing is finding them sold by all one
color.

Are you asking about pony beads or what type of beads?  There are all kinds
of beads seed beads, plastic, glass, precious stones and gems?  So you need
to be more specific.

I  have been inspired. I  am going to a  local craft store this week to
search out some items. What are the size and type of needles do I  need to
ask for so I  can complete my Santa Bead project easier?

 

Thanks,

 

Michelle
