Hello, having a hard time deciding whether to buy some premade white beaded fringes off ebay or to make my own? I wanted a mix white rocaille AB /with 3 cm pearls and white bugle beads, but don't know if I could even follow through in stringing up my beads. I have more want to = than to doing it. I thought if I buy the white prestrung beads, I can add in between pearls, and deck out the bra and the belt and it would not take as long to make. Whereas, when one has 47 inches - it will take forever and ever to string.
Please help me decide whether to buy the premade kind or try and string my own?!!!

Fri, May 2, 2008 - 5:21 AMThere's nothing wrong with buying premade fringe - it's not **cheating**. ;-) ;-)
So, buy the premade...go with your idea of adding between...and enjoy the creation of your new costume!!

Fri, May 2, 2008 - 6:53 AMHaving made fringe for one costume, I can honestly say NEVER AGAIN! It wasn't that difficult, it was just time consuming and tedious. I'll definately buy it next time!!

Fri, May 2, 2008 - 7:09 AMOops. Didn't mean to hit submit.
I was saying I agree with the "time consuming and tedious" statement for sure! The only time I do my own beaded fringe is when there is only a small amount. Otherwise just buy it, It will make life so much easier. -

Fri, May 2, 2008 - 10:40 AMThanks so much everyone! U helped make my decision! I have such a hard time making decisions, even take 40 mgs of paxil. I 'll go ahead and submit 2 bids since I need 40 inches of 9 inch and 40 inches of 4 inch together, and then have to buy another batch for these big girly hips! Thank you , thank you -

Re: Should I buy premade beaded fringes?
Fri, May 2, 2008 - 4:58 PMThanks for all your great advice! The bidding starts at 7.95 on ebay for 9 and 4 inch 40 inches - totalling 80 inches, and great advice! Angelia, I loved the gypsy skirt, but counting my dollars it will be over 120.00 by the time we get through with labor and shipping. I was talking about the skirts in class and I'm hoping my ladies will break down and b uy a real 25 or even 10 yard skirt!
I never ever saw cheaptrim, until tonight. Thanks for the infor and looked through the store. Lots of good buy but going to take it easy for right now. I did buy a white bra from Lane Bryant and made make some large rounded jewel medallions like Sarah Skinner and put on the bra.
