BOO!
I've got another photos-included tutorial coming ...someday. I've got all the pics ready to go, I just gotta get the motivation to write it all out!
In the meantime, enjoy a photo of one of the random things I made recently!!
Love what you see, and kinda really want one? Tap/click here to go to our official site :D
Balloon Dog Kandi Cuff
I've puzzled over this post for weeks upon weeks (no joke) because I wasn't sure how I wanted to do this. The original intention was to do a tutorial but let's be frank... I'm no good at tutorials. Anyhow, I'll give it a go anyway, I suppose! Let's see if I'm any good at this.
First, a photo of the pieces and supplies that I used! 1. needle-nose pliers 2. scissors 3. 1mm elastic stretch cord 4. Jump rings 5. balloon dog charms 6. Beads in the colors that match the balloon dogs, plus a base color (white)
First thing I do is begin with the first row for my X base of this cuff. Specifically, the way I do it is 2 of each color (totals 10 beads) and then the base bead color of white, of which I use 20 beads. A total of 30 beads for the first row of the X base.
String them all, in a 1-2 pattern, with the matching bead colors "next" to each other as pictured below:
After this, is when the X base begins to take its magical form! This row will also take a total of 30 beads. Take 1 of each color bead, and then the rest (25 beads) will be your base color. In this sample (obviously) I'm using white. You will string from one colored bead from the first row, skipping the 2 white beads, and stringing through the next colored bead.
White-color-white for the first one, then 3 white for the second one, then white-color-white for the next one. In this pattern until you've completed the row. It will look like this when you've finished this step:
For the next row, you'll have the same quantity of beads as the very first row; 2 of each color, and then 20 white (or base color) beads.
You'll do the white-color-white pattern again for this row.
As with the previous step, you'll be skipping some beads to continue the X shape for the base of this cuff. This time, you'll go through the center bead from each "bump". Your cuff will begin to take more shape, although it may still look a little bit like a crown.
For the final row of the base of this cuff, you'll need 20 white (or base color) beads only. You'll string 2 at a time, going from the center colored bead to the next one. This row will look like the first row does now, and will pull your cuff into shape rather than looking like a flared crown.
Now comes the fun part! Beginning to build the 3D shape to this cuff. For this particular cuff, I've made it more complex than I usually do. Rather than just 5 beads for each "bump", it will alternate between 5 and 3 beads.
Using more colored beads, the color "bump" will run from the edge color bead to the matching color in the cuff. This will keep the colors together, so the pattern builds correctly.
5 beads for the bump that goes from (example) purple to purple will be color-color-white-color-color. The next section, which will fall between two colors, will be 3 white beads.
It should look like this now:
Now comes the really tricky part (and I hope my explanation makes sense here!) Forming the 3D X's while keeping the 3 white bead "bumps" separate.
Your string should be coming out the white bead of one of the 5 bead bumps; you can see my string in the above photo doing just this.
From this, matching whatever color the current bump is, you'll string 2 color beads and it will string through the matching color bead on the other edge of the cuff. This will pull the larger bump toward the middle, and as you build it, you'll see the 3D X shape forming. You'll be working on the opposite edge of the cuff from the first row of 5 and 3 bead bumps. When you reach the 3 white beads between the colored sections, you will NOT pull the beads toward each other as with the 5 bead bump. Instead, you'll do those 3 exactly the same as the first edge.
Below is how the cuff is intended to look with this step completed:
After the above step, you'll use the needle-nose pliers to attach the balloon dog charms to the center white bead with one of the jump rings. Match up the color of the balloon dog to the color in that section of the cuff, and it will look as the below completed cuff!
I hope this made sense! Thank you for reading my tutorial!

Going through my blog. Did you know tumblr has a mass post managing page? Why don't more websites have this feature? As someone who sometimes needs to clear out history and polish things up, this is probably my favorite tool right now.
Navy blue Fuggler necklace?! Heck yeah I did!
Necklaces are among my favorite things to make! Plus, the best part? He's awaiting for you to adopt him! Check him out (and my other Fuggler necklaces) HERE!
Huge thank you for even just liking/reblogging my creations! Every little bit of support helps immensely! Thank you!
At a recent market, someone was looking for Psyduck stuff. I told them I had one at home I hadn’t made a necklace yet, and made an agreement with them that I’d make it and have it at another market the following weekend at a nearby market.
Here’s the necklace! And here’s the link to it on my site because she she never showed to buy it 🥲
Fun, unique kandi handmade just for you! One of our many cute necklaces! Most of which are almost as unique as OOAK (one of a kind)! All nec

Love this idea so much!
Helloooooo Tumblr!
Go ahead, put anything.
Let's see if that's true! Haha booted this back up, hoping to pick up where LJ so rudely cut me off at! I've had accounts with them since like 2004, and they've decided to suspend my account because I post about my small business, stating that the only way to get it back is to pay them for it?! FFFFuuuuuAWK that! What makes these corps think I have any money to do that? Especially since LJ doesn't give me any foot traffic.
Nah man, let's give tumblr a go! I may not have had my accts here as long as there, but I don't think I've ever had an issue on here like I have on there in the past!
ANYHOWWWWW Hello y'all! Welcome to my new (rebooted) blog! I'll be making my first official tutorial post here soon! ...which soon could mean later today, next week, next month... I'll do my best to get to it as soon as I can! But let's face it... Mango's memory is worse than a goldfish!
-insert goldfish sounds here-
Peace ~ love ~ pants

Oh hey look at that! At some point, what seems forever ago, my insta and tumblr apparently detached from one another and all my insta posts haven't been cross-posting? Joy!
Luckily, I have a laptop now so I'll try to remember to sign in and share photos and whatnot of my art! I'll also include links to the listings on our website! Horray!
