Do you know Channons Hill, just off of Fishponds Road - just down from Morrisons on the opp side. If you go down Channons Hill, you will see a mini trading estate on the left hand side. There is a Focus, Currys and this What shop. They sell all cheapie bits but have a small craft bit selling embellishments, cheap pliers and bits like that. Alot of rubbish there also but I remembered seeing the pliers so went to see today!!!!

Well, I am still quite a novice at this compared to you all. Have not tackled anything too tough just earrings, charm bracelets, phone charms and zip pulls!

Here's a couple of pairs of earrings-simple stuff really....





and a charm bracelet.




Photo quality not great as used my phone!!!

I really like the swirls on the top pair, I'm totally rubbish at those, that'll be the new pliers then?

I don't seem to be able to wear earrings anymore, they drive me mental

Actually, I used the other thicker pliers for the swirls and they are quite tricky as you want to get the same size and shape for both!!!! I will try it with the new pliers and see what results I get!!!!! I quite like them on jewellery and was just fiddling around with some bit of headpin that was left over then liked the result so then made another and thought hmm they'll come in handy for a pair of earrings!!!!

I would show you today's efforts, but don't know how to post photos and don't follow written instructions very well due to ADHD (V bad at the moment)

So if anyone can explain how to upload photos in step by step form I can understand, I would be glad to share my new designs and send a few beads as a thank you

Thanks and I am soooo pleased this thread is so popular

Aw Millie *hug* no need to send beads hun, we like to help and see your stuff!

Go to http://photobucket.com/ and register with them.

It will then give you an 'upload' option, just click that and then browse through your computer for the picture you want to upload.

Then the easiest way is to look at your picture on Photobucket, right click and click 'copy' then in your reply here just right click and click 'paste'

There are other free picture hosting sites of course, I just prefer Photobucket personally.

Good luck Millie, just PM if you get stuck (click my name and click 'send a private message')
