Random Quick Tip!
Don't Throw Away Waste Beads!Don't throw away your waste beads, you know, the beads at each end of your fishing line when you are glazing your beads. The beads that catch the extra glaze. Or beads that don't end up great. Put them into a jar and save them for other craft projects. You can make wall hangings by gluing them onto a backer board, like in a mosaic fashion and make some great looking wall art!
