Smile Twisties

I just posted a free "how-to" on my blog showing how I make twisties- some of the pics are not the greatest (hubby was trying to help me by being my photog), but it might help someone out! Laura

I love the layering you did. Makes me rethink things. And using the scummy clear too. Great tutorial. I've bookmarked it. Thanks for the color ideas too. All around 5 stars!

Thanks so much for sharing your twistie method & your great recipes! I love the one with the little bits of black! That's gorgeous! I'm going to bookmark this as one of my Favorites and share it with some of my other "flamers!"
Happy creating,

You guys are all so welcome, I hoped it might help someone out- it took me ages to get my twisties to where I liked them

Thanks too, for the compliments on my website, it is definitely a work in progress! Laura

Thank you. I never thought of layering colours in a twistie before. The extra wow factor really shows up in the twisties.

Great tut. I've never really made twisties, but they seem less intimidating now. And your "messy" workstation looks like mine does on it's best day.
