Plip- interesting, mane I'll try it and see what happens

Hey Fliss! Thanks for the suggestions, I'm just starting out with this jewellery making and don't know the names of half the things I need

Or I read something the other day about heating a pin up to red hot and making a hole in a plastic thing with it, although that may not work with resin?

You need cabochon findings, or flat back earring findings/cuff link blanks

Sorry I haven't been back for a while, thought my thread was too boring for a reply

Thank you for the suggestions! These 'beads' are listed as that on eBay but perhaps that's not technically correct. I think they're actually cobochons, whatever one of those is!

Will check out your suggestions, thanks!

You need looped bead caps - style will depend on the shape of your beads - attatch with arraldite type glue...

THIS sort of this

HTH

Okay last one - there's an old discussion on craftster that is about someone who got a bead with no hole that might help...http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=154854.0

Or could you stick a hook in it somehow and make it into a pendant?

Unless you could put a hole in them?

I cannot get this round my head - surely that's not really a bead? I thought a bead had to have a hole it it?
The only this i can really think of is constructing some sort of 'cage' out of wire for them to sit in? Would that work?
This is probably not so helpful - so many question marks!

Anyone??

Flat resin shape!

Hi, I'm starting to dabble in making my own jewellery. I have seen some flat resin beads in the shape of swallows that I like. They don't seem to have any holes though, are just a flea resin shape..
Anyone have any idea what I would do with these or how they would be attached to a bracelet/necklace for instance?
