Tips & Tricks: Hide Foam with Bead Caps

By Staci Ann Lowry | March 11, 2019 |

Ever have holes or gaps in the very center of an ornament, where some stubborn foam insists on showing itself?

(#NoShame - it happens to all of us!)

One cute way to hide this (and this is just ONE way... I'll send even more in future emails).. is to simply pin on a bead cap, like shown below.

You'll hide any extra large holes in the center of your ornament... plus totally class things up!

And, there are so many gazillions of different bead caps out there... You can see some of our favorites HERE (or check out the jewelry section in your local craft store). 

You can also have fun layering beads and pearls inside those bead caps for a totally unique look.

I hope you'll give this trick a try the next time you find yourself looking at foam where there shouldn't be any!

Happy Ornament-ing!
