The answer is simple: instead of showing amateurs how they fail at difficult techniques, give them something simple that rewards them with success. That's how this #pendant came about (more in the alt text). You can make such pendants with every precious #braid you find! Fixed on a jeans scrap. At the end glued on cardboard for being stiff. 1/2
The red, blue and yellow tiny pendants at the bottom of the rectangle are made with Czech glass facette beads and rocailles, threaded onto fine copper wire, which is twisted into tiny eyelets at the end. This prevents the beads from slipping off the wire and allows the upper eyelet to be sewn on.
