charmschool - I am in total awe of what you can pull off with what you have on hand! It seems like all my projects require buying new crafty doodads at 900 different places. Finding stuff seems to take much longer for me than actually doing projects. :(

Your lanyard and tank are just fabulous. I love how everything you did looks so beautifully pulled together.

Stormy1960 - Mister Jester is so adorable—just the right small touch of whimsy to the girly look. Your filigree tank is spectacular.

zero7starz - I'm not much help as I like both looks. The first is more sophisticated and the second is more fun.

A big thanks to everyone who pitched in with ideas for covering the ugly o-rings on my AMP tank. I loved the design of some brass Dresden foil filigree edging but I need silver and don't think paper anything will cut it for durability. :( The filigree edging idea is sort of stuck in my head so I need to get it unstuck before I can sort out what might work best.

I LOVE this thread and check it continually to see what creative ideas Fellow Vapers have come up with, not to be outdone, I had to enter my creation that was inspired buy this thread!

I just had to throw my hat in the ring with this lovely seed beaded cover I made to transform my Protank into a Royal Scepter!

It is a bit over the top, but I really wanted something that looked like it came out of a treasure box.

The covers are snug but can be slipped off to refill eLiquids and change batteries.

The battery used for this set up is the Kanger 650 battery which has a recessed firing button to I just beaded over it and you press on the beads to fire it up.

I think I may extend the beadwork to make it fit my twist, but for now, I love it just the way it is!

Whenever I find metal in about the size of my tanks, which are 19mm, I bend it to shape (and that don't ring my fun bell!) then sauder (not sure I spelled that right..lol) it tight around tank

This is gorgeous! You really need to start selling your creations. They are all beautiful and so original. I would love to have a tank like this!!

Oh, that is SO CUTE!! I'm working on a beaded holster/lanyard for my Provari, but it's not nearly this intricate. I've seen bead looms for flat work, but how do you form the cylinder?

You guys have ruined me. There I was, all happy with my plain black twists with standard black drip tips and then I stumbled on this thread. Now I have pink twists and purple spinners and pink and purple drip tips and brass lotus blossom drip tips and brown marbleized drip tips and . . .

You ladies are costing me a fortune!

But it's so fun!
