Beadshop.com on Beads Baubles and Jewels, The Eiffel Tower Lariat

Hey All!

Back in October 2018, I flew out to KS Productions in Ohio to film Season 2700 of Beads Baubles and Jewels for PBS. It's always a fun time. Katie Hacker is the best host ever and we always enjoy our time together (even though it is always way too short!)

This season in addition to the other projects if filmed, I was asked by Soft Flex Company to do a project for them. Since here at beadshop.com we have been using Soft Flex products since the early '90's, I thought "Yes!" it sounded like fun! The project I designed is called "The Eiffel Tower Lariat"

It is such a fun and easy make. It features Tila Beads, some of my favorites! 

The ingredients list is here:

1 30 ft Spool Silver Soft Flex  Extreme .014 

1 Tube Tila  TL194- Palladium Plated

Thanks so much for inviting me, BB&J and for sponsoring me, Soft Flex. I can't wait to go back next season. Also, if you want some snazzy glasses like I am wearing, check them out at CraftOptics.
