Thanks so much for this. I've been thinking about trying my hands at this but didn't want to waste money if it turned out I didn't like it. What a great option.

Thanks youuu! I live somewhere you can't find bobbins, so this was really helpful!

[@teresamatheson4259]

Thank you. I made some. They are great. I made my own pillow from polystyrene packaging layered up to give it a rounded shape, with some wadding fabric over the top to round it all off.

hi there, thanks for the idea. What´s the size of those beads?

[@JennyBrandisLace]

I took a skewer with me to the cheap $2 shop and bought beads that fit.
