Pots from wood beads?

[Bravo Six]

Another suggestion that helps improve their appearance is to add a rim.

Yes, that. Jump rings from the bead section at Michaels work well for this and there's a good variety of sizes. I made some bead pots years back and they turned out well. I even made some for Elk101.

You certainly did.

How do you add the necks?

@ MalcyBogaten and Cacique Caribe:

Thanks!

@ ancientsociety

I use a variety of flat or round headed sewing pins to stack/thread beads together. I then “glue” them together using Liquitex acrylic string gel (it dries clear).

I clip any excess/protruding length of pin, and super or hot glue to plates, dishes, or clear acetate bases.

those look fantastic - i'll have to do some work on mine, so thanks for the tips.

"plates" i assume are various types of buttons?

Thanks.

Anything and everything that could appear to be a tray, plate, platter, etc...

Mostly costume jewelry fixings sourced from craft/hobby stores.

[MalcyBogaten]

Now the costume jewelry as platters is a brilliant idea! I will go and kick myself for not seeing that one!
