Very, very nice. What brand was the package of lacers? I haven't been able to find the ones with the round circle on the end, and so mine end up wonky. I'd love to find a source for the kind you got.

I just bought some turkey lacers today at the grocery store and they are by GOOD COOK. Can't wait to make some!

What kind of glue do you use quiltnut?

The directions I followed when I made them called for Aleens Jewelry and Metal glue. I used Superglue. After gluing my fingers together twice, I switched to the gel type Superglue--works much better! Worked much better. Here are the directions that I followed: http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2012/...stilettos.html

I just made 2 but my daughter didn't have big enough beads to choose from. She has a chit load but all are so tiny! I managed to make 2 tho out of the only big beads she had. They look ok.:thumbup:

Belfrybat and Mscupid804,
You both beat me to the punch but its all good! :) Yes the lacers are made by Good Cook and I found them here close by at our local Sweetbay grocery store. Belfrybat sending you a pm!
Mscupid804, I agree with you on the size of the beads but here's what I found: at Walmart in the bead section I found a string of beads labeled Glass Beads in assorted colors. Most of these beads are large enough and as well I also found $1 packets of bronze-like beads that I use for "stoppers". They work very well. I use the Aleene's jewelry and metal glue tho I must say that afterwards it is a bit hard to get it off but I use nail polish remover, acetone works well. Trust me I"m no expert on beads but so far its working :)

Crafty Darlene - You are very welcome. Glad you like everything.

Krystyna - Thank you for a great package. I received a very pretty scarf, several pieces of material, pins, needles, M&M peanuts, quilt magazines and a craft pattern (great ideas for gifts). Thank you for everything!!!

Thanks ladies for the info on the Stiletto pins. I got one in a sp package and did not know what they were called. Mine has very pretty turquoise beads. They remind me of the old hat pins I have. Hope to make some.
