Made some stitch markers!! ๐๐๐๐ (I'm gonna get some lobster clasps for the skull ones, so those're not done yet, but...) I used to be really into beading when I was a teen, so I have all these beads I barely use any more, so I figured now is a good time to make stitch markers, since I'm using them a lot! ๐ I had a Nightmare Before Christmas phone charm a longgg time ago, and it's been broken for a long time, so I had all these little charms left from it that'll make cute stitch markers. Plus 2 other charms I had in the same storage tin. The skulls and wooden charms are from some broken bracelets (I have a TON more skulls lol...) but they look like the perfect size for a stitch marker, too, so I beaded them up with some mismatched beads that came off a broken bracelet. ๐ I forgot how much beading hurts my arthritic hands tho, just doing this little bit of super simple beading was REALLY painful. And I thought crocheting was painful? It doesn't compare with how much pinching a flexible needle hurts. I don't know how I did it as a teen. I guess my arthritis has just gotten worse since then. (I'm also having a bit of a flare up right now, too, so maybe that's why it was so bad?) Idk. ๐พ Either way, I'm happy to have more stitch markers on hand. I'll probably make some more, too, since I know I have so many beads that would look cool as stitch markers. ๐๐๐๐ #crochet #crocheting #beading #beads #stitchmarker #stitchmarkers #skulls #spooky #spoopy #nightmarebeforechristmas #halloween #charms #handmade #homemade #diy #arthritis #rheumatoidarthritis #spoonie https://www.instagram.com/p/CkRZl4Dy53k/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
