Help!

Ok, so it is now Sunday evening and I have nothing for beading. I'd like to do those crochet type bracelets that Maya made....what do I need? Anyone, anyone? I'll go shopping tomorrow at lunch break, but if anyone has excess I can buy that'd be swell.

Thanks!!

You need a spool of 26 gauge beading wire, a 7mm crochet hook, beads (around 30 for a bracelet) and clasps. I have lots of clasps.

Oh and something I found was that too many glass beads made my bracelets really heavy.

If you have a crochet hook around & it's not 7mm, that's flexible.

I have tiger tail wire in many colours, if you want to use that. Maya used 26 gauge wire, same as Jen, and even dollarama has that in multiple colours. Tiger tail is more flexible, so won't hold its shape as well.

Get thee to dollarama, where all the stuff will be cheapo instead of Michaels, where you can be guaranteed it's from just as shitty factories, but costs more.

Je ne find a crochet hook pas. Does anyone have a spare? I also went to Michael's already...sigh. And forgot what kind of wire I needed. Any chance anyone has extra? I suck. lol.
