I went to Michael's yesterday to get some little really round beads for my billiard balls. Here is what I bought. I just can't go into that place and only buy one thing! If you poke the photo you can see all of my goodies better.
I had a coupon plus some things were on sale. Love the textured felt. It will make a great rug.
I did get my little beads. They are the perfect size for billiard balls. :D
I had to cut my triangle down to fit the smaller beads. Now it is very close to 1:12 scale (below). I needed two brown and two orange beads, plus one black 8 ball. I painted those.
Then I realized that the ends of my sewing pins (the six at the front) are almost the same size as the beads I bought! I could have saved myself a lot of trouble if I had noticed that first! LOL
I'm not sure I will take the time to add the stripes and numbers? Maybe the 8 ball will get one? Writing numbers on 1/8" circles may cause blindness.
Hope you have a wonderful day!

I did stripes on the balls for the first pool table I made. They aren't too difficult but I didn't even attempt numbers!
Lo de las bolas de billar del tamaño de los alfileres es genial! (Sirvió de excusa para ir de compras) ;)
Entiendo que hiciste OTRO triángulo?
Un abrazo
GRACIAS por no tener palabra de verificación!
Hello Kathi,
True, you might of saved time and energy had you realized the pin tips worked as balls...but just think, you would of missed out on all the opther greats tuff you found...everything happens for a reason.
