Flosstube Tutorial #7 - Button Scissors Fob 

Thanks for showing what I wanted to know. I have just uncovered all my jewellery making stock so am interested. When I found flosstube about 3 years ago, I found scissor fobs. Thank you, I especially love the button one. Take care

Great tutorial! Thanks! I’m glad I’m not the only one who likes the ‘sound’ of things!😊

A suggestion for those who have a tendency of slipping with the pliers. Use two pliers and twist the jump ring ends, then use that same way to close the jump ring. As for myself if I use her technic, I always slip and the wire ends up overlapping itself instead of closing. I also don't have the strength in my hands to pull pliers open (the way she opened the jump ring). Its way easier for myself with the way I explained above.

Lori, use your old jewelry to make a personal fob. I made one from a charm bracelet I wore in high school in the 1960s and added a few pendants from old necklaces. Now I see them every day instead of the poor things hiding in the jewelry box. Get another pair of pliers and twist open and close the jump rings. Much easier to work them that way.

I just got home from Hobby Lobby. Oh, dear! What shall I do because now I have to go back! Wink, wink.....Beverly. Lovely video!

Thanks for sharing 😍 Time to make a Hobby Lobby run. Might look for some Sea Glass and Beach charms for my few NC buddies

Love, love, love this video....thanks so much!

Loved watching your tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

just a tip here, jump ring and chain links is should be opened with 2 pair of pliers ( even a cheap pair of walmart needle nose pliers will work) one on each side of the split, twist to the side instead of pull, then twist back to close , it keeps the shape and helps they last longer and less issues with opening up from wear and tear.walmart has really neat colors of chains in the dollar section under the beading section (cousins brand in the bags(i learned this long ago because jewerl making was my first hobbyy .

Just found this. Thank you for sharing. THey remind me of charm bracelets.

Thanks for doing this! So helpful! 😊💖

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've had the button idea one on my to-do list for awhile and I'm glad to see that what you did is what I was planning! Thanks again. Blessings from Ohio.

Thanks for showing how to open and close the jump rings with your tool. Great tutorial keep them coming. Hope to meet you at a retreat some day. Also hope you escape the nasty hurricane weather.

When working with the jump ring, always take one side and push one the opposite from the other like one back and one to the front, it keeps it from coming apart, the way you are doing it will allow them to come apart faster, because your bringing it's open the weak way we're it will allow it to come open easier just to help you build better, I think there's a video on how to open a humoring. Love this , I did some jewelry this way

Love those green and red bells. What a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, Lorrie! I am among those who asked that you do a tutorial so I especially appreciated and enjoyed your wonderful tutorial. I can’t wait to make a fob.

Thanks, Lorrie. I make jewelry and I thought this was a great tutorial. Wonderful ideas for fun fobs. ♥️

Awesome video! Very easy to understand and also very enabling 😉 Thanks for showing how to make fobs, they don't seem too hard at all!

Thank you so much for making this tutorial. I have tried making fobs with wire but was not good at it. This looks so much easier.

Thank you for sharing. Love your craft videos. I’ve made a lot of pumpkins for fall decor from one of your early craft tutorials

Thank you, I was hoping you would do a tutorial. Can't wait to make one. I want to add some of The Fairy Tale Jewerly charms at Hobby Lobby. Thanks again.

Loved your tutorial. Now I can make some for my daughter-in-law and me. That will be fun!! Thanks!

Thank You for the tutorial! You made it so clear to understand that I think I can do it. At least I am going to try.

Thanks for showing how you are making the fobs. I have been making project bags for gifts and making fobs for the pulls. When I did the red and green I also used silver bells, red-silver,green-silver,red-green for the Christmas bags. Wonder if there is a way to close the jump rings up better on some I were back and put a spot of school glue on the opening.It is fun looking for different things to use.Happy stitching and crafting have to keep hands busy🤔🤔🤔🤔🥴🥴🥴🥴💫💫💫💫

Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing. I am going up to my craft room to pull out my jewelry making supplies to see what I have.

Thank you. I was always wondering how the fobs were made. I’m also not a jewelry maker.

Thank you so much I know I’m going to make some.

Hi Lorrie. Your scissors fobs are so wonderful! I'm particularly fond of the one with the mother of pearl buttons. Thanks for a great tutorial. I plan to save it for a future date.

thank you!

Have you considered using the pre strung beads?

Thank you so much for doing the tutorial. When you took the length you wanted how many links was it? How many fobs could you make from the length of the chain on the card?

Hi Lorrie! Wonderful tutorial! I am a jewelry maker and hope you don't mind if I give you a tip. When opening jump rings it is better to open them by twisting side to side instead of apart. Pulling them apart actually weakens the metal and distorts them. Instead, use two chain nose pliers and hold them on each side of the split. With the large rings you might be able to use your fingers. Twist side to side to open and then do the same to close. When twisting the rings to close, if you gently pass each end once or twice before aligning the ends together, they will line up better and be stronger. Here is a link to a great tutorial www.fusionbeads.com/opening-and-closing-a-jump-ring Now I'm off to raid my jewelry supplies and make some awesome fobs! Thank you!

Thank you! And I loved stitching while watching this- the jingle bell sounds were so fun! I love it!! Thanks for this tutorial- can’t wait to try my own! ✨ stay beautiful, my friend. Clare @beautifulclareity

I’ve been wanting to make some of these. Thanks for the inspiration. The bells are darling!
