Thanks so much for all of your kind words and encouragement about my new line of Katiedids™ Creative Components! Here are some ideas...
This is an easy, elegant necklace using the
Katiedids donut,
Bead Ready™ wire and 4mm round crystals. Pass the wire through an outside hole and 15 crystals, then pass it through the first 7 crystals to form a beaded circle. Place the circle inside the component, then pass the wire end through the opposite hole. Adjust it so the component is at the center of the necklace, then attach the clasp.
The pendant is really dramatic! String 4mm crystals onto beading wire to form a circle and place it in one of the channels. Repeat for the other channel. Pass a head pin through a 8mm crystal and through the drilled holes on the component, then make a wrapped loop for a bail.
The long stick components make great earrings or you can incorporate them into necklace designs. For the earrings pictured here, I passed a head pin through 4mm crystals and the upper drilled hole to add extra movement.

Your Katiedids are beautiful! How exciting for you!
These are soo cool! Are they available to purchase at Beadalon suppliers?
Oooo Katie, I didn't realize you had your own line of components. I like what you did with them. I can also see a lot of potential in them for filling with polymer clay!
Thank you, Alice!
Leslie, this is a sneak peek. They'll be available in late March. Please ask your favorite Beadalon supplier to carry them!
Cindy, I think polymer clay would be great, too. You might have to put eye pins in place first, then bake the clay.
FABULOUS!! Maybe you need a another new term for your new "Katiedid" line, "Katieliscious"! :)
Just Beautiful!
