Beaded Accessory

[blackcatofmisery]

For lack of better title... It could be a keychain; it could be a phone charm. Right now, it's hanging off of my phone.

After seeing a Tumblr post that stuck with me, I managed to find some alphabet beads that matched in color enough to recreate the words. Serendipitously, with three lines, the number of letters matched perfectly, otherwise I was considering sewing the words to fabric stretched on an embroidery hoop.




I think I did a modified square stitch, putting this all together. "Modified", because I think I did it backwards... It's holding together, and I can only hope my knots hold, so I don't drop beads like confetti out of nowhere.

(Original post. I only found this community recently and more recently decided to actually share on it.)

Thanks for sharing here! Unfortunately it looks like the LJ image link is broken. The code seems fine, but when I tried to go to the image address directly, nothing loaded. (Same when I go to the original post, there's nothing showing up there).

It's very strange, I'm still not seeing the image when I open this post, but the Tumblr post does appear embedded in my feed view.

Cool idea!

Sorry about that! That is very strange, though. I've opened the post in different browsers, both desktop and on my phone, and it shows up. :/ I did notice it took it a while to load in Firefox.
