I was feeling a little adventurous today and thought I would try to make some stitch markers. All that beading and wire wrapping looks so easy on TV. It's not as easy as they make it look but, I think I did OK for my first try. I will definitely be practicing the wire wrapping.I made two different types of stitch markers. The ones in the middle were made with flexible bead stringing wire. Since I'm not very good at wire wrapping I thought it would be easier to make this type to fit my larger needles. All the other markers were made using a head pin to string the beads and a jump ring. The markers were quick and a lot of fun to make. If I can figure out how to use my new camera I'll get some better pictures of the how to process and post a tutorial.

Found you on Ravelry! These are great! I also make my own stitch markers, but I don't (yet) blog, so I just comment on others' blogs for now! Again, nice work!
