I finally had to give in to
the reading glasses. I suppose I
really should be calling them the crafting-sewing-knitting-computer-reading
glasses. I even splurged on the pretty ones. But I wanted to dress them up a little and also be able to
take them on and off without losing them.
A pretty beaded necklace
for my glasses was the natural choice.
My favorite, colorful, glass beads practically jumped out of my bead
box. I could almost hear them
saying, “pick us”!
If you are new to bead
stringing, I found this instructional video Beading Basics, by Karla Schafer to be very
clear. Follow her basic
instructions but replace the toggle with the eyeglass chain findings and also
extend the overall length to about 28”.
This fun and fast project
makes a great gift. But be sure to make yourself one as well.
