Hello All! Now that the 2015 exchange has been announced, could we please have a review of basic criteria/info for bangle style ornaments? When I checked the archives, I found advice for coating metal bangles with clear nail polish (to prevent tarnishing) before making the lace. Recently I found two types of bangles at WalMart. Unfortunately the 2.75" ones that fit the pattern were hot pink. Others were 3" but I'm reluctant to increase the pattern size as it might change the thread size and/or proportions. Should I wait for the inventory to change at WM or look elsewhere? I'm also unsure of how to connect the lace to the bangle, i.e. Larks head knot (both bobbins thru loop) or as if making a sewing (one bobbin thru loop). Is this lacemaker's choice or is one way preferred? All advice is welcome as I have never made one before & I have no clue how to get started. Our charter chapter will have an exhibit in the library showcase during December so it would be great t! o make an ornament for our display as well as for the exchange. Many thanks. Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Erie, PA USA
