beaded barrette

[jaclim]

I made this little barrette tonight. I used size 10 cotton thread and size 8 seed beads in assorted colors that I am trying to use up. I'm still too lazy to sort them from the ziplock bag so this is one way of using them.

Very cute...

What a great idea! Did you just crochet "around" the barrette (like a purse handle)? Or is it attached using some other method? Either way, it's wonderful!

Jackie that is so pretty, did it take long to attach all of those beads??

Yes, I removed the bended metal under then sc'd to cover the barrette. I then bead chained 6 times in every sc to cover the barrette completely. Try it! It's a quick and easy project!

I had all the beads strung first before starting to crochet. It didn't take many beads to make this little thing. The barrette is only about 2 1/2 inches long.

That is cute. What a great idea for fete:manyheart s or a small gift that is a bit different.

Too cute. The beads make such a "happy" hair accessory.

[jaclim]

I've been poking around in some of the older threads (from Before the time I joined you all), and I found this little cutie! What little girl wouldn't LOVE this especially now with Spring here and colors just popping out all over the place! Jacki I stand in AWE of your beading expertise and Talent!

Very cute! What a great idea! Although I'm too lazy to work with such small beads...my hands are too big for those little things.
