I used to want to buy the kits to make Christmas ornaments from catalogues. I never could afford them and they were so much work This ia fabulous! .I gave away loads of beads a few years ago never thought I'd use them.I have no idea how I came across this video but I am thrilled to have a new hobby My Mom is in a nursing home she will love shabby chic flowers and pearl flowers. I decorate by season.Thanks for sharing you bring me much happiness!
Dang woman - you are one creative genius! Who knew you would be able to improve on the original flower? Glad you talk to yourself too! Haha! Keep it coming lady - can't wait to see what's next! Aloha, Linda

I love it, specially the way you take your time to explain the complete process, i use some of this ideas to finish my wedding bouquet. Thank you so much and please continue and bring more ideas. :)
Hi Fi. That's lovely! You know, before you added the external beads it looked like a ninja weapon!!😄 I finally made your lovely pearl flowers, without the extensions, and before I did it I thought, Those look so easy! Let me tell you, I had glue EVERYWHERE!!🤣💕Practice makes perfect! I'm working on it. Now I'll try these!👍
@joinutica I use acrylic pearls or glass pearls, it doesn't matter as long as they are NICE pearls. I buy a lot of them from the carboots (Garage Sales) etc! xx
simply beautiful so much that i spent 2 days sorting all my beads out lol with the not to helpful cat who prefers to play and tip them out lol and hope to try this out. I've watched a lot of tutorials and always come up with yours :) very creative. Thanks for sharing
These are really pretty, i saw the other video and i prefer those ones, BUT these are pretty too. I've bought some beads to try this out, looks like fun. TFS
I just wanted to tell you that you are a true inspiration. I have been crafting most of my 77 years and thought I had tried everything. But, you have excited my creative self and my only problem is that I just don't have enough time to try all the things I want to try. Love your videos. Keep up the great work.
there soooo pretty fiona, you give us fab tutorials. you really do!!!!!!!. i was making the other bead ones at 5 this morning. now im going have ago at these ones. thanks fi, hope your feeling a bit better today. hugs gin xxxxxxxxx
My grandma taught me how to make something similar with beads and fishline, for snowflake Christmas ornaments. It's too bad my grandma never discoved the joys of a glue gun - she hand crafted almost all of her holiday decorations. We also made stars, trees, and wreaths with nothing but fishline and crystal beads.
i love these centres, so pretty, i love your glue gun, mine has a fairly fine nozzle but not as fine as yours. I'd been looking at them online and that was one of the ones i was looking at because of there .7mm nozzle so I've ordered one now
I just LOVE these!!! How would you hang them? With fish line or can you loop one of the wires? Well, I guess I'll have to experiment!! Thank you, Fiona. You make me feel I'm with my best friend and we're having a crafty afternoon.
If you mean the wee little bead strands she's cutting and gluing between the pearls, try Joanns. I've found them in various colors last year for a different project. :)
Wonderful! They're lovely and so easy to make! :0) Our Lace & Trim Store: www.jenningscreationsboutique.com Our Amazing Jewellery Store: www.artdecovintagemodernjewellery.com

@OpaqueWhisper I have some I will send you Sheron, no charge I just have some spare that is ideal for the job my friend. Don't know when it will be but I'll try getting some out this week to you! xx
@xannero1 I do have a head FULL of things, once I do something from it, up pops another idea so it never goes empty...........or to sleep lol lol lol. Please let us see your creations if you try these, I think they are really very shabby chic and would look great on anything :) xx
@videos4ppl I sell the smaller string pearls in my Etsy store and you can find this at jennings644, same as my utube name. Let me know if you have a problem finding them xx
@craftingmandyb Gee if I could win the lottery I'd be sharing more and more fab ideas because I could afford to buy the things in to do them lol lol xxx
I'm sorry for my late reply but it takes me ages these days to get through the enormous amount of mail I get. I always try and answer eventually all of them lol lol. Thank you for your kind words :) x

Hi Fiona have you tried putting your glue sticks in the freezer and using them it can help stop that spider threading of glue you get also a small dab of Vaseline around the end of your nosel can help to big love Marc
