Kind of like a kid on Christmas with too many toys LOL. Today I finally got my wish! I was working on a project and sure enough a pretty head pin was just what I needed so I had my hubby get out his torch and we had a blast making some beautiful headpins! I&#8217;m not sure who had more fun, me or him! He had to &#8220;show&#8221; me several times how to properly do it. HA! I&#8217;m no dummy! He was enjoying making them. Thank you for a project that both me and my husband could both enjoy! He leaves the Polymer Clay and Jewelry &#8220;Pretties&#8221; as he calls them to me. Today gave him a chance to bring out his torch and be a part of my world. Not only did your tutorial teach me how to make beautiful headpins, it made a great project for me and my husband to do together. I love my husband and me time :) Thanks again for your great tutorials! I&#8217;m off to &#8220;pickle&#8221; some headpins. <\/span><\/span><strong><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">~Susan-R<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Cindy, I took a class a couple of years ago to make a beaded Kumihimo bracelet. I had a terrible time getting the beads to stay in the right spot, so I never did finish. I blame it on using embroidery floss, which was too fine and limp for the beads, and for not using a weight. I wanted to try it again without the beads. The next time I used some C-Lon thread that was leftover from another project and my results were just OK &#8212; it&#8217;s very hard to keep the tension without a weight &#8212; and I thought the result was a little stiff. Unfortunately, there&#8217;s nowhere to buy nice cord near me. I never thought of ribbon! After watching your tutorial I went out and bought several spools of the 50 cent ribbon at Michaels and they worked really well. I also ran with your idea for the weight. What a difference that made, not only in the ease of working the cord, but in the even look of the braided cord. So thanks again, Cindy. The things I learned in your tutorial brought me from failure to success! <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: large;\">~Linda-K<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I am just loving this new monthly format!
