Wire Wrapped Utensils

A daughter of a friend of mine got engaged, so I beaded some utensils for her shower:

The wire isn't perfectly shaped . . . but hopefully it's just considered handcrafted and overlooked ;) hehe

Glue the rocks with E6000 glue, let dry overnight and wrap with 3 feet of wire. I've seen these done with flat marbles and beads too, but smoothed pebbles is what I had on hand - plus I didn't know what her fav color or kitchen colors will be. Now they'll match anything - definitely an earthy look.

Beaded Serving Utensils

Stephanie, my really great friend, has a birthday today, so I beaded 3 serving utensils as a gift for her:

Stephanie's favorite color is purple - here's an up close picture:

I watched (listened) to 2 movies while I beaded - I didn't realize how much time it takes, so next time you see one of these for sale, don't baulk at the price ;)  So, it took me about an hour to do 1 - I guess if you use bigger beads, have expert beading skills or don't bead the entire handle, it'd go faster =)  I've seen some with fancy wire spirals too - but I'm not that advanced!  hehe  Make sure to use corrosion resistant wire and always hand wash these babies.  Here is where I got my idea with instructions.
