I recently posted that I did some finishing work for someone. I was asked to finish 13 fobs for a Christmas swap. Theresa did a fine job stitching these lovelies and I beaded them for her. She stitched them in Christmas colors so I color coordinated the beads to match. I just got word from Theresa that everyone loved their little gifties. I am so happy! The pictures below show the stages of the fob making process. I always use glass beads and the fobs are whip stitched while attaching the beads.

| The beading begins with the bead board. This helps me stay organized and keep the beads handy. |

| Stuffing with polyfil before I close them up |
 |
| Beads are strung and attached to each little fob pillow. I use a lobster clasp on the end to attach to a favorite pair of scissors. |

Packed and ready for shipping

I hope you enjoyed this journey with me. I had a very good time making these. I turned the radio onto my favorite Christmas Classics and beaded away! I am looking forward to some stitching time this weekend, I have finished off my checklist in the nick of time. Happy Stitching!

Also, it was a thrill to receive it from Teresa as she is one of the best gals I know!!! Thank you for doing such a great finishing job. What a treasure I have!!!!!
Hi Nataly, I was one of the lucky recipients of the fobs from Teresa! She did a beautiful job of stitching and planning ahead! She sure did surprise us all last weekend with our special gifts. Thank you for finishing them with the beaded trim. I will treasure my fob for years to come! An added bonus is that when Teresa sent us the link to this post, I realized we had met at Celebration in NH! Doubly fun!
