Beaded Trim


This month I want to teach you how to add beaded trim to your creations. Beaded trim looks great on the edge of a painted flowerpot or along the edge of a decorated box. Other trims, such as tasseled trims, also look great. You only need a small piece so this is a good way to use up what you already have on hand or to shop the remnant bin for small pieces at a bargain price.

The way I'm going to teach you is through a 2 minute video that I posted on Youtube. Just go to the Youtube site and then go to scckits. It's the top entry that comes up, "flower pots".

The secret to attaching trim so easily is the adhesive that's used, which is gloss gel. Even though gloss gel is sold as an additive for acrylic paint in order to get a some wonderful texture in brush strokes, it's actually a great adhesive that I've used for all sorts of applications, many of which will be coming up in other Fun Time Projects.

Enjoy!
