They really are lovely and I

They really are lovely and I mostly enjoyed the ingeniousness and easiness of making them. I am not a "lovely" type of girl though, I like to wear leather bracelets. Is there any chance I can find a little more hardcore items on this site?

Congratulations!

Hi Michelle: Congratulations on your 50th Podcast! What a great project for your 50th episode. These felt beads are terrific, you are so creative. I was thinking maybe punching a few small holes with an 1/8" hole punch on the outside layer may give them a unique look. It may not work, but that idea came to mind. I love the swirly look of the beads and can envision using them for lots of projects. Also, love your new haircut. Thanks for all of your hard work on these podcasts and I'm looking forward to another 50:-) Linda

I Made a Few...

OK...couldn't resist. It's a crappy day out today...perfect for crafting. I just had to try these beads, and I was feeling rather festive, so my first 'batch' are inspired by a candy cane. These were so easy and fun to make...they will definately be part of the crafts I create for the holidays this year. Thanks for a great idea!! http://smullis7.blogspot.com/2009/10/felt-spiral-beads.html

Brilliant

When I first saw the title...I wasn't sure, but this bracelet is brilliant. I love the beads and they are so easy to make (I say this before trying it myself :-) ). I will definately give this one a try. Some Christmas colors and this would make a great holiday accessory! And I'll definately check out the new online store.
