Thank you so much!

Typically I can hold my breath for 20-30 seconds, but everyone is different.

You are very welcome, keep going ❤

@@JulieandYou22 Yes, I am. Made a mistanke at 16 years old. My loving Mother died in 1998, but my father and sister have contact still. I turned my life around 10 years ago. Have asked him on my knees several time before I " took the soon with the other hand", ( Norwegian saying for big change), and have said to him we never know when the time is up. He had a triple- by-pass heart Operation around 93/ 94, but No hand reaching out back to me. I am 1966 modell and he was almost 30 years old then. It is very hard. 10 year being a good girl and hoped for a positive reaching maybe not the first year, but after 10? Every holdyday, yes, every what ever.....it is hard to see the big point going on. I am sorry to drag this heavy-nes over you. I Just wanted to thank you for the answer on my "thank you", comment again. You Did a good thing that hit me here far North on an other continent. Humle hug to you from me. Hilde!

⁠@@hildea.e3319big hug to you Hilde ❤️

My pleasure, thank you for watching :)

You are very welcome :)

You are very welcome, thank you for watching!

That is a great idea!

You are very welcome. How did they turn out?

I got the nylon thread from our local dollar store, just the thinnest I could find.

I don't paint the holes because once you put a string through you can't see the hole.

@@JulieandYou22 thank you!

I've never tried wax paint on them. If you try it let me know how you go :)

I hope the tutorial helped :)

It's definitely trickier than it looks :)

I normally don't gloss my beads. I prefer the flat/matte look personally. But you could use gloss paint if you want the glossy look :)

Very small world :)

Oh thank you!

Etsy!

Glad it was helpful!

Yes that would work too :)

You could, I've tried that method and it's quite messy, uses more paint and when you hang the beads to dry it develops a pool of excess paint.

Glad you enjoyed the tutorial and happy crafting!

Spray paint would work, but would be messier than this method. I prefer water based paint over chemical based, but you could you acrylic paint if you wanted :)

Thank you Lisa, glad you liked the tutorial and happy crafting!

Thank you! Cheers!

The paint I used in the sample pot is paint that you would use on walls and it doesn't come off, so no top coat required :)

Great tip, thank you.

Thank you.

That is a great idea! Thank you so much for the suggestion!

Good catch! I'm originally from Manitoba, Canada, but have lived in Australia for 15 years. The Canadian accent is still very strong though.

The plastic tray is from Ikea, it's meant to be a cutlery drawer insert, but I discovered it works great for painting beads too.

Thank you so much!

Me too. For nice and tight but not too tight.

That would work too :)

For this project I used Taubmans water based low sheen paint.The colour of red is called "apple a day".

My local Mitre 10 store. I also get them from Bunnings.

Thank you so much for the lovely comment + subscribing! I've got lots of new tutorials in the process :)
