Can you tell me the name of the pens you used to put the beads on to dry? They are not coming up when I click on the link you gave. Thanks, Stacy

You're right, there's definitely not a lot of information on this topic out there. Thank you so much for creating a video!

@@stacydeaver7134 Sorry it took me so long to reply. I used Fimo Staedtler Accessory : Bead Piercing Pins

[@marianoshaughnessy]

@Taylor Jacob for the red beads, I used red Sculpey clay and used red petals that dried sort of a brownish red color. The petals are the darker bits in the bead.

[@debbieodell8007]

Wow that’s a great idea. Does the wax rub off after the rosaries have been used?

[@marianoshaughnessy]

The wax dries on the beads. Just use a very thin amount though. Like barely coating them. If you use too much, it will feel waxy. But the wax does not rub off.

How long do you allow flowers to “ dry out”

[@marianoshaughnessy]

My daughter dried the flowers and then sent them to me. I think she let them dry for a few weeks. The petals should feel very brittle, like paper. They should crumble in your hand. But since I needed tiny bits, I still had to cut them smaller.

What kind of Clay did you use?

[@marianoshaughnessy]

You can find the supplies here -- a.co/0T1Rhk1. I used Sculpey clay. See the "Show More" link under my video description to see all the notes and supplies.
