Making My Mark

In 2013, I wrote a post about embroidery markers , I remember seeing all these beautiful versions, it's like porn embroidery pens. At that time, I used a number of commercial plastic markers. I never liked this marker because it looked so ugly, but I still didn't like the fragility of it. They're about the size of a small key, but they break so easily that I avoid locking and opening them, and often notice that nothing breaks except for a light touch of my hand, which is delicious when I pick up a marker. . I never missed a single traffic light, but they cracked and broke into the last eight or nine, mostly two dozen or so. Then it's time to think about choosing a new one, I can't say that I have any reason to replace the old one. I'm finally going to get some pretty sewing markers.

As I was reviewing this old KNDD issue to find out which embroidery marker to buy, I remembered my own research on how to make my own embroidery marker. I did the beadwork , I already had the tools and the result, the goal was to find the right pattern.





For this project, I looked for medium-sized soft beads that would catch and stick to the thread I was using. I have tried to keep costs as low as possible, if you have the basic tools for working with beads it is quite possible to implement this simple project in very little time. I also know that I need different color markers for sewing, that these color codes indicate different things (for example, markers to start a row, or a set that matches the details of a "top to bottom" sweater design): .

When I was buying beads for my grandson's 10th birthday in January, when I was buying beads for an earring necklace , I discovered what strands of orange glass beads you can see in my "Free Themes" section. "Buy 1 bead get "for Free".. Michael. I found two red two colored beads, which you can see above in my bead box; this is my type. The rest of the photos are bead necklaces ivory beads I bought from Value Village for $2 and got a $2 discount coupon for filling out an online query.I love collecting beads this project is almost free...before I tried to make markers for dots, I saw bead holes ivory is too big for this project Sigh. I collected this ivory specimen and hid it in my specimen box so it won't be used for later use. Then I bought another necklace for 2.25, this time checked the lub before buying a necklace to make sure the beads fit.





To make your embroidery markers, you'll need a few tools: string, earrings, basic beading, cutters, pliers, pliers or flat pliers (which isn't easy). Place the bead on the pin, attach the earring to the lever, then wrap the pliers around the needle pin until the top of the pin forms a small loop. Cut extra long hair with a trimmer, glue the loop you made with pliers or flat pliers ... done.





This is a finished sewing marker. Given the rich stock of twenty embroidered pens (I rarely work on several knitting projects at once), they are impossible to break, I don't lose things, I'll have enough. sometimes. Your earrings seem to be the real reason they are, although I'll try to make the earrings a little more than this embroidery marker, I want to make your threads as light as possible. self ventilation.

I keep two orange beads with the intention of never making earrings... so I'm not tempted to grab my two embroidered markers for an orange dress for any special occasion.
