Corina- they turned out great! I bought supplies this weekend but have not even begun to attempt this.

I'm reviving this thread because I am bored out of my mind!!! (currently unemployed) so I am going to get the supplies I need & try to make some of these bad boys!!

I just received mine. I found this lady on ebay who does custom foot jewelry. She was so good to work with. Each pair was $30, which is a little cheaper than what I was finding. Her name is Pamelia and her website is Beaded Foot Jewelry | designed & beaded by Pamelia. I'd post pics but I don't know how.

Good luck! Corona should make it interesting!

Okay so I only had 1 Corona in the last 2 hours & I've mangled 2 barefoot sandals already! LOL The first one I started was like the one from the other forum, but I really didn't like the shape it was taking (I think the wire was too thin & didn't hold shape very well) so I stopped right before I actually finished it. Then I started making a simple one with 2 strands going up to the ankle & having a shell flower attached before the anklet part & I was attaching the 2nd part of the clasp when I was talking to Mat on the phone (he called from work - nightshift_) & I DROPPED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every bead but 3 fell off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Needless to say I packed up the supplies & cracked my 2nd, well-deserved Corona!! I'll try these again tomorrow night because he's nightshft again, but I'll tell him not to call this time!
