I mentioned in my last post that I'd bought some beads at the craft fair. I had a few ideas in mind for them and this was the first. Bag charms. I bought a kit to make these little angels and they whipped up in about 2 minutes each! I made all ten the night I got back from the fair.
Here she is with her mates.
That should be enough guardian angels to keep anyone safe. I also bought a kit to make a beaded bag charm.
Not too creative really, using kits. Is it cheating? But I also bought components to make some of my own design. I really enjoyed making them.
I have some more to make, I couldn't finish them as I had to have an emergency visit to the over-pricedness that is Hobbycraft to get some more beads as I hadn't bought enough. They're now just waiting to be finished.

Pretty dangles, Wendy. :D I don't think there's anything wrong with using kits at all. Just see it as half the job has been done for you. :D
Actually I think that blog title SHOULD get you a job as a headline writer :D
I like your bangles and beads and think they're perfect for blinging up bags -- nothing wrong with kits, either - they're a great way to get a wide variety of goodies quickly!
Using kits is a great way to start then you get the hang of it and buy what you know you need. You are not cheating just being organised.

Those are really pretty. My favourite though are the angels. Wishing you weren't across an ocean so that I could buy some from you.
Ooh, pretty.
You must have tons of handbags ;)
These are so pretty they make me want to start getting beads again! Those angels are really darling. Nothing wrong with kits, you can get straight to the making - they save time!
They are really lovely Wendy. x
Wrong with kits? No way, its like having a ready-meal every now and then. Brilliant, easy and half the work! These are lovely! Also, speaking as a one-time pro in the field of headline writing, you're getting to be da bomb.
