I wanted to add a little sparkle to my Halloween Spooktacular giveaways so today I set about creating shiny things that might make you go “ooh” when you see my giveaways and then enter… because you would be crazy not to want to win something hand-made by me, right?
Well, since I’m an author and I’ll be giveaway book related things every day between 28th-31st October (that’s four giveaways and four chances of winning!) I decided to try my hand at making some beaded book thongs. My initial ideas were good but I didn’t quite get the method right… the thong bit proved tricky as beading wire seemed so inflexible and beading thread was sooo skinny looking. In the end, I hit on a fantastic idea of using a thong like you have on necklaces and two of the ends that have the circles for hooking them together. It worked much better and my designs finally came off!
I write vampire romances and angel romances, so I decided to have a sort of theme. I have four giveaways, so it was perfect for having a vampire heroine and vampire hero colour scheme, and an angel heroine and angel hero colour scheme. Here are some pictures of my adventure in creating beaded bookmark thongs…
