How to Build a Scissors Fob

Orna Willis will show you how she builds her scissors fobs on her blog.  The detail in each is incredible!

I don't know if the examples she used will still be available in Orna's Etsy store, but lucky us--she has 33 scissor fobs there as I write this!

The BeadSmith's Sticky Bead Mats

I've been reading rave reviews on Facebook for the sticky bead mats that BeadSmith makes.  I'm told when the stickiness wears off because of dust, you can rinse them off and when they dry, they are sticky again.

They come in various sizes and colors, and the pricing varies so shop around.    Some of the larger needlepoint shops have these, too.
