[attachmentid=2]

Skill Level: Easy
SIZE Varies, based on components.

MATERIALS:
• 1 pair metal knitting needles
• Beads, washers or other items with at least 1/4 inch (.9 mm) diameter center hole
• Small quantities of LION BRAND MICROSPUN or GLITTERSPUN yarn sufficient for decoration
• Hot melt glue and glue gun

Select washers, found beads and other components that can fit on the needles. A few of the items we found were:

1. #10 Brass Finish Washers (great for the top end because they fit nicely around the ferrule of the needle!)
2. 1/4 inch Flat Brass Washers
3. Polymer Clay Beads
4. Hollow glass beads with large internal diameter holes (from a necklace bought at a garage sale)

KNITTING NEEDLES

1. Slide the beads onto the knitting needle, arranging them as is attractive

2. Use hot melt glue to secure the beads.

3. Trim with Microspun or Glitterspun yarn as appropriate (in the example, the black is LION BRAND Glitterspun yarn and the blue is LION BRAND Microspun yarn. You can use yarn as a spacer if the components do not fit tightly. Secure the yarn with hot melt glue.
