Beady Retainer or Jewelry Holder

Decorate a plastic box to store your retainer, or to hold jewelry. This is a great way to personalize your belongings if you're going to camp or on a trip. It just takes seconds!

Materials:

• Plastic box such as a dental retainer holder
• Treasure Tape circle sheet
• Diamond Beadlets
• Kreinik #32 Braid 127 Yellow-Orange and 2829 Seafoam
• A large flat-backed cabochon, button or bead
• Shallow pan or tray

Steps:

1. Remove a large circle from the Treasure Tape sheet and place it in the center of the top of your plastic box.
    
2. Remove the red liner to expose the sticky tape, and place the flat-backed cabochon in the center.
    
3. Lay the Seafoam braid around the cabochon.
    
4. Lay the Yellow-Orange braid in loops around the cabochon, to resemble flower petals.
    
5. Lay your container in a shallow pan and pour Diamond Beadlets over remaining sticky areas.
