Hi everyone, I know it's been a while, but at least I have a nice cross stitched scissor fob tutorial for you!
In this tutorial I show you how to stitch this halloween scissor fob with beads attached.
<br>
<span style="color: red;"></span><br>
I initially forgot to take photo's showing how to attach the tassel but I have since found the Christmas Scissor fob photos that show more detail of how to do this, I will put them in the next post and I will also be doing a tutorial showing how to make the tassel and the cord soon.<br>
<br>
There are a lot of photographs in this post. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I actually took these photographs in November 2011 but forgot to put them on this blog! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can see detailed pictures of my scissor fobs on my cross stitch blog<span style="color: red;"> </span><a href="http://happinessiscrossstitching.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/scissor-fob-exchange-arrived-at.html"><span style="color: red;">here</span></a> details of the pattern can also be found on that post.</div>
