Yep Yep Yep, I've jumped on the "Pokey Tool" train. Can you all say ADDICTIVE with me !!!! I've received several comments asking, what the heck is a pokey tool... so I came back to update my post with that information. It's just the tool that you use to remove the back of the tape, or remove your excess pieces from your die cuts etc. such as the Tonic Studio Tim Holtz Craft Pick. Or it can be used for weeding your vinyl projects from your Cricut, Siloutte etc. You know us crafters have to have everything pretty and over the top... well I do anyways.
These are super easy and sometimes you just need to sit and do something that doesn't take alot of effort. Creating something like this really gets my creative mojo going because it helps warm up my hands and brain cells to get creative.
There are a ton of YouTube videos on line for this project but it is basically this: I purchased these turkey skewers on Amazon
HERE.
Then get out your large bubblegum beads. I purchased mine at HOBBY LOBBY. They are normally $9.99 but this week they are 50% off. You really need large beads, or beads that have a large hole in them to fit the skewers. Then using E6000 glue I added a dot of this between each bead on the skewer.
Then for added charm... (lol pun intended) I added a bit of chain from the top and attached some charms and wire wrapped beads that I created. I think these will be a nice to addition to any Happy Mail I may send out to one of my creative friends. Oh yes.... and FYI I also add a little plastic earring stopper to the ends before mailing out as to not harm the recipient. Give this a try and have a wonderful Wednesday !
