Not sure if anyone else thought that it could be made to look like a slot machine spilling out coins, or something along that line. Such a cute idea!!!

[@Laura_Dovalo]

What a fun idea! I think you could even use it horizontally. 😁

thank you for sharing. i had tried that card before but i had several pieces of strings and they wouldn't keep straight cause i glued each end and that wouldn't keep them straight. so thank you very much for this clever solution

[@laurabuehler]

You should link the original video to this one. I remember seeing that one several months ago and was floored by your creativity.

[@s_rofbear]

Laura Buehler - yes, I thought the same thing!

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Great idea! Thanks, I'll see what I can do... 😄

[@rosaarmenteros743]

😄🤗

[@cardsbycolie]

Great idea but seems like I would lose my patience half way through, lol! Super cute thought!💜TFS

[@Laura_Dovalo]

LOL, it's actually quite relaxing to string beads... Especially if you have a special needle for it! 😁

[@cardsbycolie]

@@Laura_Dovalo lol true

[@janylove7432]

How apart are the strings?

[@diannekariotis9450]

OMG I heard new things were coming out I have to get these so cute

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you very much! 🙂

This technique is amazing ! ! ! ! I can not wait to try it. I love My Favorite Things products ! ! ! ! Josie G.-P

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thanks Josie! Me too! 😍

[@daianachemodanova498]

Чудесно !

[@MargaretMcGee1]

Fantastic beads for rain card. Love the sound, can't wait to try out. What size bead do you suggest?

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thanks, Margaret! I didn't even know that seed beads came in different sizes... Mine are about 1/8" but I definitely recommend those the shiny ones with glass... they catch the light so nicely. 🙂

[@MargaretMcGee1]

@@Laura_Dovalo Thanks Laura. So sorry for the delayed response. I'll be on the hunt for beads.

[@Shikhainaya]

Hey I wanted to ask somthn I tried the technique? However after a few months the string becomes loose

[@HappiSabi]

How did you achieve the shading on the first dark cloud? 🤔

[@Laura_Dovalo]

I lightly inked the borders with Pumice Stone Distress ink and sprinkled water on it. 🙂

[@HappiSabi]

Laura Dovalo thank you, I must see if I can find those inks somewhere here in Denmark 😍

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Du kan finde dem i Hobbyboden.dk. Kram 🙂

[@tamathaandrews1955]

Didn't you make this card somewhere else also? Just adorable!

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Yes, I made the original card six months ago and shared it on my personal KZbin channel, but MFT designed an awesome die set to make them a lot easier and quicker. 😄

[@hdb80]

Can you put an acetate window over the beads? Thanks! Can't wait to get this!

[@Laura_Dovalo]

You could, if you add more foam tape, but it isn't really necessary. It's quite a sturdy card, although it doesn't look like it. 😁

[@hdb80]

@@Laura_Dovalo Thanks Laura!
