The advice I share in the Rolling Round Beads video about letting the bead rest a little before piercing it, applies to these football shaped sports beads as well.
I have a friend who is a huge football fanatic and I can't wait to make her some green football jewelry she can wear to the games. She is a walking poster for her college on game day and she would love this.
Can't wait to see the video so I can learn the secret!
