Hi Gypsy I have sent you an email with the instructions,but just incase you don't receive them I will reply here. The make up instructions are pretty basic.but I always place the two pieces so they lay on top of one another,start a running thread a little ways in from the edge and weave the cotton back and forth to secure it. For the first one that you do,weave your way to the bottom working up one side at a time. Weave the cotton through on the outer beads on the edge(Panel 1)and then across to the bead on the opposite panel(panel 2),then through another bead on the same panel,weave to the next bead,coming out through to the next bead on the edge of same side(panel 2) and then weave across to the other panel(panel 1). I always go through two beads on the same panel side before going to the other panel as this strengthens and stops pressure being put onto just one bead on the edge of the panel. Don't join the edges right to the top,leave ending off one side and weave the other side of the panels together,when you nearly to the top.Take your scissors and place them into the case you will then be able to see how far you will need to take the weaving,weave a couple of times back and forth through the top beads to help give the side strength, fasten off your cotton by weaving back and forth through the panel. When you become confident about where the top of the panels should be started when joining them,you can then begin joinning of the two panels at the top and work your way around the whole scissor case. Hope this helps Kind regards Margie T
This is going to be my first scissor case - I've only done even peyote before now... are there any written instructions or tutorials you can recommend for me? I've already ordered the Jennie Might Beaded Needlecases book...
