Put Some Sizzle In It!

This is all you get to see of the jewelry that I made as gifts... 

People are watching...
While I was making jewelry, I found this.  It is Red Heart Brand "Sizzle" thread.  I bought it to experiment with for jewelry.  Not great.  Kind of slippery.

So I decided to see what would happen in mini.

First I tried just a chain stitch.  I thought that would be fun for garlands on a Christmas tree...
 Then I decided to add beads...  Interesting.  I tried them far apart first and then went for closer and closer together until I simply did a loop of beads.  The thread has possibilities for this.
Then I thought, why not a rag rug?  I guess it would work if you were doing a clown's bedroom and needed a floor mat...

They did have another variegated or two and lots of solid colors.  It would probably work.  I think that I needed a smaller needle.  I was using a 6.  If I try again, I would use a 7 or smaller.

Anyway, I saved you some time and money if you don't like how it looks.  Or maybe I spent some of your money if you do like it.

I am going back to the serious stuff  now... 4 days until the big day.

Yes.  The party is still going strong.  I think it's Alfred Hitchcock today...

See you tomorrow.

Where did you find that thread? Was it in the needlework dept.? I really like the one you picked.

Kimberly, it was right next to all of the crochet thread at our Walmart. I think it was 2.97 a spool.
