Jellyfish Bead Charms

These charms are sooo easy to make!  There are only two components involved in creating a jellyfish.  I've had these beads since Christmas.  I received them as a Christmas gift.  I knew right away that they had to become jellyfish.  I just say jellyfish when I looked at them.  I've been waiting all this time to come up with an idea for the tentacles.  I originally thought I would make the tentacles from strands of fishing line strung with seed beads.  I had never carried that out because I just was not completely satisfied with the idea.  I was afraid the beaded strands would just be way too bulky in comparison to the bead by the time I created multiples.  But recently I was at Walmart, browsing in the fishing department, when I saw these fishing lures on sale.  I immediately knew these were my jellyfish tentacles! 😄  The colors of the ones there on sale even perfectly matched my jellyfish beads!  

The magic here is simply in finding the right components.  After that it goes together in a matter of seconds.  I love these!  I wish I'd found these fishing lures before Father's Day.  Wouldn't this be a perfect addition to Dad's fishing cap?  In addition to the Fish Bead Charms, the Fishing Bobber Bead Charm, and the Camping Lantern Bead Charm, Dad's fishing cap would be pretty decked out!  Maybe even an Arrow Bead Charm if he's into bowfishing. 😉
