Having received the favourite gold metallic thread from Estonia last week I felt a massive sense of relief and set off to make some bauble bells.
Here's the link to my post about the metallic thread but what I didn't tell you is how tough it is!!!
When I make the bauble bells (pattern here - which is really only guidance as you can make them bigger) I really tug and tug on the ribs and on the core chain thread too and this never EVER breaks this metallic thread.
I made a set which you can see here and they were sold magnificently in the silent auction last year at Palmetto Tat Days. I'm thinking this time I might cover some large beads using this pattern instead of leaves in between!!
Those are gorgeous. Good to know the thread is tough and can be tugged on without breaking.
