This is not my idea, but I love, love, love it! I am giving a shout out to Heart to Hand Creations and Happy Mail Queen for this idea. These are so stinkin' cute and it's something I use all of the time. Fun and easy to make! Enjoy!
Your channel just came across my feed, excellent tutorial! I will use mine when sewing to keep my fabric feeding straight to keep 1/4” sewing seem❤Thank you.
These have been around for a million years. The beaded "pokey tool" was started by bakers to poke the bubbles in the royal icing. Now the ladies and gents are using them for "weeding" tools.
I’ve been making pokey tools. I use 14 gauge wire to make my pins. Thanks for your videos they are great. I appreciate anyone who takes the time to share with others.
Hello!! I've seen many pokey tools around UTube but I really like urs! Especially ur purple ones!! My fav color!! Beautiful!! TFS! Stay safe an sweet💖💖💖
Thank you soo much Carla!! I made my own while watching you! I love the 1 Step Looper! I saw someone else who said it was a game changer and it is! It makes it soo much easier to create the loops you need for the dangle! I made 3 of these beautiful Pokey Tools and as long as you have pretty beads, a long enough skewer/pokey tool piece (I went to 2 hobby lobbys to get mine! They were sold out at the 1st one! I suggest ordering them online! The skewers at Stater Bros Grocery store were too short), a little chain a straight loop pin and some E6000 (which is always on my craft table!) you are good to go!! It was soo easy to make! Thanks for posting!!
I love these pokey tools! What is the end piece you put on? I need to find the base so I can make some, as I have a variety of beads that need to be used. Thank you for sharing!
Those are so stunning Carla! Love it! ❤️ How is your ATC challenge going? Will you be doing a video on those? That should be fun so we can see other crafters ATC’s
Carla, before I started this craft, I purchased on line alligator clips and key chains. I need to find just a plain rod. I'm greatful for the turkey squers you showed. Are there any "just rods" that can be purchased ? I haven't found any. I don't want to throw out the clips or key rings. Any suggestions.
I found the turkey skewers back by the deli section in grocery stores. You may find some at Walmart or they may be seasonal. Hobby Lobby also carries longer ones in their jewelry dept. They work really well, too. There are 2 in a pkg. Better deal when they're on sale. Hope this helps.
Why not just use the 6” stick pins in silver & gold! You can get on Amazon! I don’t understand the need for skewers or tools? I make very big stickpins with stickpins!
Looks dangerous. My granddaugther would be so drawn to these. She loves bling. But yikes she and my grandson are 4 and 6. No way. Think I'll stick to decorating pens.
