Beads or Snack Cakes?

Yes, these ceramic beads from Michael's are giving me a real snack cake craving!! :)

When I saw these at the craft store over the weekend and wrapped the strands around my wrist, my first thought was what a cool art-deco bracelet I could make with them.

It wasn't until I was photographing them to share with you that I realized they look VERY much like a chocolate snack cake. It almost looks like the cream filling is sort of spilling out of the hole and around the edges too!

I used one of these beads on either end of my recently posted wired-up bracelet, but I believe they are meant to be used together for the impact.

Please share any ideas you have and in the mean time, I'm thinking about a cool art deco bracelet. Have a good one!

Can't beat your art deco idea! Those beads will look great with that style.

Yum! The ones I picked up have more of a caramel coating but yummy nonetheless! Thanks for sharing! Enjoy the day! Erin

Hello darling, I am here to apologize for not being able to visit your lovely blog this week… life was very hectic at Rose Tea Cottage!!! Hopefully things will calm down this coming week.

Have a sweet and lovely weekend.

Mmmm...you've made me hungry just reading your post...haven't had breakfast yet!! :0)

These are great beads...I like the art deco style...you could also use 5/6 wire wrapped as a focal of a necklace with a couple of different chains, maybe add a bright different shaped beads along with it?

It will be fun regardless...
Cheers
