    I used a small jump ring, even a small split ring. They work quite nicely too. Making a few of these but having a hard time finding the large marbles. Thanks for the tutorial. You teach real good!

    THANK YOU!!! I have been searching for a Tutorial for this net out here for weeks. I found many but NONE had good lighting, audible and clarity on how to make the Net. Blessings to you.

    I don’t see or knot or anything so I thought ‘ I will get frustrated trying to do that!’ Nope- you explained and showed it so well it was easy to understand.Thanks!!!

    I have a 30 year collection of antic and newer marbles. Some really interesting ones out there.
    I have them on display for their beauty and antiquity. The problem is when children see them their eyes grow as big as marbles and they just cant help but run their hands through them and picking up hands full and listening to them rain down, which leaves me with chipped marbles.
    Your awesome idea has me thinking these could make great Christmas ornaments bulbs, they would be beautiful and protected.
    Thx 4 the great idea!

    Thank you Sharon that looks very doable. I can see why you used the two colors of thread for the demo. It was much easier to see. They do look very cute.

    Smaller marbles are called, "peewees" and the larger ones are called, "bolders"

    Hello sweetie I love those ..those are gorgeous but I was thinking maybe you can start off with a lanyard knot... it was a lot easier for me instead of using the ring..but overall I love your project thank you for sharing

      If you're near the ocean you can usually find them for sale pretty cheaply.
      Usually around $5.00.

    Hi! Thank you for sharing this tutorial & the clear instructions. Is there a "formula" to figure out how long the side strings should be, I want to make one like a christmas ball. Thank you for sharing 🌞

  • @caroleborden4012
    @caroleborden4012 Před 8 lety +3

    you can use a needle or a pin to move the knots to where you want them, just make the knot around the needle or pin, then pull the needle or pin out of the knot & make tight. I have used this for years

    Hmm wonder if a ring of tatting (which originated with fishing knits) would work then I could skip the wire and glue...

    How do you know how long your strings need to be? I have 14" floats?

    • @SharonOjala
      @SharonOjala  Před 7 lety

      sorry, I don't know. 14 inches is quite a bit bigger than these marble sized ones.
