How to Make Pretty Beaded Pins?

Here's a little weekend project for that night when someone else does all of your lovely household chores for you. Letting you put your feet and your hair up so that you can head out enjoy a night on the town~

Today's project is super easy but hopefully will give you that little extra sparkle to make your evening out special.
Here's what you need:(You can find the beads at 8Seasons)
Steps:
1) Using your wire cutters, cut a piece of wire around 8″-9″ (20-23 cm). This isn't exact because it depends on the length of your bobby pin and the size of beads that you're using. A good estimate to use is about 3 times the length of your pin.

2) Wrap the end around the rounded end of the bobby pin a few times and squeeze it down with your straight nose pliers. Make sure the wire isn't sticking towards the inside of the pin or it will catch on your hair.

3) Start adding your beads. As you add beads wrap the wire around the pin, leaving the underside free of beads.

Just keep adding and wrapping until you get to the bottom of your pin.

4) At the end just wrap the wire around itself 3 to 4 times and once again squeezing the end down with your fingers or straight nose pliers.

And that, my friends, is that! So easy…but so pretty!


So easy, in fact, that I made another pair in one of my favourite colour combo's…gold and pink!


And now I need to hear from you….

About Dog Names and tips for name a dog

What's in a dog's name? Names can signify the personality of a pet or the personality of a pet's owner. The name you choose also says a lot about the relationship you have with your pet and how you feel about being a dog owner.

Some pets have cute names like Fifi and Doodles, while other pets are named after an owner's favorite sports team, like Buckeye or Duke. You can also choose a name for your pet based on your hobbies. For instance, a runner may name his dog Shoe or Marathon. Whatever name you decide on, you want to make sure you've put a little thought and consideration into it - you and your dog will likely share whatever name you choose for a number of years to come.

Tips for Selecting Pet Names

When you bring your dog home for the first time, you probably don't know much about its personality or how it will fit into your family. This can sometimes make it difficult to come up with a name that adequately describes the dog. If you find yourself struggling to choose a dog name, consider the following tips: 

• Pick a dog name that your dog will easily recognize when you're calling him. One or two syllable names are best. Avoid long and cumbersome names like Monongahela.
• Say the name out loud like you would when you call your dog. If it seems awkward, chose another. You will be saying it a lot.
• Your dog's behavior is an excellent resource when choosing a name. Don't name him right away. Study his behavior before naming him. If you have a puppy though, keep in mind that his personality will change as he gets older. That rowdy, pouncing, hyper ball of fur will eventually settle down. Really.
• Avoid dog names that sound like standard commands like sit, fetch, come or stay. Also avoid names that rhyme with these commands. They might confuse the dog.
