Thank you for showing your thought process for the first necklace on the braiding. So helpful to me to show me how I can do it to instead of hoping for perfection the first time (ha! silly me!). Loving your style.!!! One of the things that often helps me with an op shop necklace is to take a picture of how it is when I get it, so I remember how the beads were if there is an area on it I like. Then I joyfully chop it up ready for playtime!!
I am from Tennessee/USA and happened upon your video. When you said lollipop it made me giggle and that is what I am calling it from now on. You just brought extra joy to my beading.
Do you mean to make the hole bigger? The ends of these headpins are splayed out in the production process, and they are quite long, so snipping the wider bit off the end is the easier way to go and you still have a usable length left for another bead set :)
