Getting the beads

Bila kita nak mulakan projek, kita perlukan manik dalam bentuk dan warna yang dikehendaki. Kenelah cari kat kedai manik. Mau bocor beg duit. Most of time, kat kedai the beads comes in 10gm packets. Setakat simple edging untuk lengan baju kurung, 10 gms is more than enough. Satu hal pulak nak simpan lebih2 manik yang sikit ni.



So at Sulam Sayang -DIY kite pak kan lagi kecik ~5gms. Just enough for beginners to work on small do-it-yourself projects. By buying small packets you get more packets from your money. That means more choices - colors and types.

Mula ber "beading"

Hi peminat-peminat beading,

Saya adakan blog ni khas untuk related topics and reference for mine and your own beading projects. Yang penting, bila ada kemahuan di situ ada jalan. When self beading, kita perlu a lot of kemahuan untuk siapkan project. Kalau tidak selalunye terbengkalai. Plus, kita perlu contoh-contoh supaya kita dapat ilham tersendiri untuk projek kite. Kalau tidak pun, tiru aje lah..

So, blogroll yang saya list out kat tepi blog ni is for reference on pattern dan teknik. Hopefully, tuan/puan/cik punye pages don't mind the link. Kalau ade yang tak bagi, please let me know (e.mail: norazihan@yahoo.com) so I will remove. Kalau ade yang bagi, thank you, bagus. Bagi ke tak bagi, I harap bolehlah tinggalkan komen atau kata2 peransang bagi self beaders.

Happy beading.
