I have always liked
to come up with a variety of things that I could make with beads …and I did believe it or not.
I had this idea of taking bright color thread and stringing
beads to them along with cute charms and making what I call (and have seen
others call them also) keypers. Cute
name.
I have also used leftover chains that I truly can’t make
anything else with them, because they aren’t long enough to make a necklace or bracelet, and attach beads to
them with charms. I would get the large lobster claws and round split rings (sometimes I would even find them at the Dollar Store in a packet of I think 10) from AC Moore or Michaels and the chains as well. The buttons I would get from Joanns or AC Moore or Michaels
My mother has also made these adorable little shoes (shown below) with
buttons on them. I also have made my crochet
key chains into little purses (shown above) of which they actually do open
believe it or not. And of course this is
by me making these from leftover yarn and buttons that I do not have a matching
button to go with it and the yarn well you know how that it for you yarn lovers out there...I have a hard time throwing away a small ball of yarn that I know I can make into something small eventually.
