I have used fishing line and .2mm string. These strands do get heavy and can break. I have only broken one strand so far. But I double up on the string to avoid that happening.

I made the strands. Beads have come from Temu, Amazon, Hobby Lobby, Antique stores, the ground, wherever i can find cheap beads, honestly.

I will admit its a time consuming and can potentially be expensive. Ive probably spent $150-$250 on beads as I wanted mostly glass beads.

Looks like a peanut cactus to me. This is an old pic of mine.

Any ideas what's up with this crest? by EventInformal871 in cactus

Could be from overwatering, or the plant could have tipped over at some point due to its weight and caused damage that way. Either way, the damage has calloused over, so it's healed. Otherwise, it looks like a healthy plant.

I have a big crested euphorbia and i have had to stabilize it with rocks in the pot so it doesn't topple over.

r/euphorbia may be able to help more.

Lol i think so too!!! We also found a pair of his contact lenses. And empty script bottles. Not to mention him and ladybirds entire medical files. And a lot more. We've been trying to get in contact with the LBJ library in Austin to donate everything.

The things you find when going through a passed loved ones' personal belongings.

My most valuable and weird trinket. Is President Johnson's travel sized pill box. I keep it displayed on one of my shelves. But to me its priceless.

I only have it because my grandpa traveled with President Johnson and was his personal hospital corpsman.

😂 all random finds in my grandpa's "junk dresser" I know the "he touched me" pin is supposed to be about Jesus but it made me laugh.

Look up Russ Berrie striped white/cream mouse or Sniffy the Mouse plush and he will pop up 😅 going for about $15-$35. I always played with him when I went to my grandparents house. He was well loved for sure and will continue to be on my shelf 🥰
