FlossTube #12 -- DIY Floss Jewelry: Thread Tags, Thread Drops & Thread Charms

[@baileyjones5304]

Epiphany!! I have been searching for a container for my sponge -- your little bead storage boxes are perfect. LOL I am also coming back to X-stitch after 20 years. At that time, the stores had sponges in little acrylic boxes. You moisten the thread right before you stitch -- it is like ironing your thread. It lays better and no knots! But I had long since lost the top of my last little box. Now I know where to go to construct my own as I have not found them anywhere. Love your videos. I want to have project bags, charms, etc but cannot afford to buy the number I want. Thanks to you - I now know how to make all the items that I want for myself (even if only a little at a time). Thank you for giving me JOY!

Since you don't do "tutorials" would you please "show" us how you make your project bags? Especially the ones where the vinyl is framed with strips of fabric. Not just the binding. Love your videos. Make them as long as you want. When I see how long they are I get very happy knowing I will be occupied for the length of your video while I stitch. Thanks for sharing your crafting knowledge with us.

[@Yvonnescraftyadventures]

Look on youtube for Jenn Creates and the project bags. They look very similar to these and are super easy

I felt like I was standing beside you as you shared with me how to make these beautiful cabochons! I have been wanting to make these for ever so long! Thank you!!! I love all four of the cabochons especially the coral, opal & lantern ones.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

That's so sweet, Rinda!! Thank you! I'm glad I could inspire you with the little demo and hope you jump in and give them a try!

[@sunrise49738]

Hi Bonnie! Thank you for sharing your sewing room with us and demonstrating how you make your charms/cabochons/thread drops. I definitely can see your beading background coming into play with this. Check that scrapbooking paper that has adhesive printed on it to see if the back of each piece of paper has a pull off sheet (usually white) and the adhesive is on the back of the paper. I have printed my own designs at home on cardstock but encountered the ripping problem so I applied the puzzle saver sheets to the back of the cardstock which helped tremendously. I have also made thread drops out of greeting cards because they are of high quality materials usually. I use the 1/4 inch and then the 3/4 inch punches for my holes so there is no drag on the binder ring. So far I have only used these for the overdyed flosses and silk flosses, and am not sure if I will convert my DMC collection in the future or not as I already have them all bobbinated and take care of the kinks by running the thread over a dampened sponge which I keep in a container. Do you think it would work to just set a heavy book on top of the cabochon instead of having to press for so long as my fingers probably could not handle it? I would absolutely love either the opal, coral, or lantern cabochon. Thank you so much for your demonstration! I hope you got caught up on your sleep. I am so happy that the inauguration did not end up in more violence than it did and I sincerely hope that we as a nation can start the healing process. Take care dear sister in Christ.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

That's a good idea to try the book instead of pressing if your fingers hurt. The main thing is the pressure so the air bubbles come out and the glue spreads so it adheres well. Another option is having someone who can hold it for you after you put it together.

[@tanyadelong4793]

Oh honey! Another great flosstube! Your demos were fantastic. You did a really great job! I love the lantern ring. It’s so symbolic for me! You- you’re sharing your “light” with the world! Me- the leaf is a charm I used on everything I made when I made custom bags and purses and I told everyone it represented new life through Christ! Congratulations on 4000! I love you dearly. 💗

I have learned so much from you. I organized all my DMC and COSMO floss in the bags on the binder rings. When I have it out my hubby is dumbfounded that I have that much floss. And he only sees one. If he only knew that I have 6 full sets of them. Ya know you really never know if this crazy world they might stop producing floss. Yikes!!! But I’m prepared! COVID made me do a whole lot of hoarding. I am now going to make some caboshons. I am pretty sure that could be my next obsession! You’re awesome 👏 I binge Jesus also. He is my anchor. And my Redeemer.

[@vickikesler9897]

I was taught to make cabochons by placing a drop of the diamond glaze to the top of the picture then moving the glass part around on that to get the bubbles out. Then to glue into the bezel part with e 6000 glue. Does the diamond glaze hold it in? I also use a 1 inch punch for the round ones make it much easier.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Well, the 1 inch punch sounds awesome! much easier. So far, the diamond glaze has held fine on the tray. I think I've had mine for a month, so I guess time will tell. I do have the e6000 glue, just in case. I'll keep a watch on them to see if they hold, but so far...so good. Thanks for the ideas!!
