How long are the stillettos you make? They are very pretty.
Hi TooMany...
I loved the stilettos, so wanted to make some, too. Jaba, you created a monster!! I got the stainless steel turkey lacers at Bed, Bath, & Beyond - 6 for $.99. Then I got a few strings of beads on sales at Michaels and some jewelry glue. Bent the head of the lacers, and glued on the beads. I love how they turned out and now I need to get more bead colors. There is a LQS within walking distance of me, and I am going to try to sell them there for "stash" money. Jaba, I don't want to steal your thunder, so if you don't want anyone who copied you to send to an SP partner, just say the word..
