Have you tried jewellery findings? maybe there is something there

I have been thinking :rotfl: (sorry)
Not sure if you are makeing a dress or have one you want to add them to?

I was wonding if you could make the tubes? I brought some craft wire like this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1-5mm-Solid-Copper-Wire-1-75-metre-coil-Jewellery-Wire-/140297414089?pt=UK_Crafts_JewelleryMaking_GL&hash=item20aa60a5c9
this is were the thinking came in and if you made it into a tube by wrapping this wire around something then glued a pretty bead to the ends if you could then add it to a dress?

Thanks for the help. Its to add to a dress I already have... I'm no where near good enough to make my own yet.

No probs wish I could be more help but like you Ive googled everything too and nothing either
The wire idea would have been ok if you were making the dress as you would have to slide the tube on the straps before finishing them off

I will have another think (it takes a while these days :rotfl:) and see if my crafty mind takes over and I can come up with something :rotfl:

Found this if all else fails (Pootle sparked this one :rotfl:) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BERISFORDS-METALIC-LAME-RIBBON-25mm-x-2-Metres-/120425095894?pt=UK_Crafts_Cardmaking_Scrapbooking_Ribbons_Fibres_EH&hash=item1c09e522d6

You could sew this around the strap

Sent the link of the tie bag to my Mum, and have had a message via MSN, that she has 17 ties for me! Dad is glad to be rid of them.

No no no no no! You can't make the tie bag before I make mine :eek: I've got a dress and a bag to make for a wedding on Friday next week, then I'll start on mine. Please Or, as my 20 month old niece says, 'Peeze?'

:rotfl: I had looked at that bag for ages now and keep thinking I would like to do it so it will be great to see it made up here
I have so many things I want to do and someone always beats me to it :rotfl:

My stitches out tomorrow so hope to get on with some of the projects before going back to work (3 more wks off, I hope :rotfl:)
I have been doing some sewing but the stupid bandage gets in the way
