PAINTING BEAD CHAIN EYES

Recommended Posts

You'll wonder how you get different bead chain eyes. Here it is.I seen this somewhere a while back and thought I would share it with everyone.

 

I use large bead chain eyes.

Use a piece of fine wire and make a couple wraps around the eyes.

Use a lighter and wave the eyes over the lighter one quick time.(don't over heat them, it takes a few times to get the hang of) Dip them in the powder paint. Then wave them over the lighter again. (don't touch the flame with the eyes, they will turn black) You will see the paint liquify. Let cool for a few seconds.
