What a pretty way to use up remnants, snippets, and miscellaneous “this and that” 🙂

In reply to Suzanne Urbano. Suzanne, welcome! We're so glad to meet you and hear about your projects. Great idea for the book cords!

I just found this site while I was looking for ideas. I can hardly wait to try it. I do have left over beads and such. I Recently received hand-me-down jewelry and bought some at a thrift shop. Some have shells. I used some of them to make book cords at Christmas to give to ones in our church. I use hemp, knot a bead or how many you want in place, leave a section clear in the middle and do the same on the other end. I glue the knots and the ends. This is easier to hold the place in the book and easier to find the book cord.

I love these! My daughter sent me some hand painted seeds from Hawaii with drilled holes in top and the bottom. They are beautiful but I have no idea what to do with them. But these are beautiful. I wish I was creative like this. Any suggestions?

I love making wrap bracelet/necklaces. That clasp size is great for those who can’t managed a smaller clasp due to problems with their hands. The muted colors are great for the summer and spring. And would be great for little girls who are so into mermaid type jewelry. Thanks for sharing your idea with us all!

Thank you for your kind feedback! Tamara, thanks for noticing the colors – I wanted a soft, muted tropical color feeling instead of the neons and brights that often accompany island-themed things, and I really like the effect.

Bev, I bet your wrap bracelet will be fantastic with the earrings!

Rena, This is just the idea I’ve been looking for. I have a friend who gave me about 10-15 shells she has collected with holes in them. I’ve been trying to come up with something to do with them. Voila! She also loves wrapped bracelets as does her daughter. I did make a pair of earring for her from 2 shells that matched and she loves them. This will help find a home for some of the other ones. Thanks!!!

Thank you for sharing this, Rena! That is a neat way to do a tropical, boho style piece, a style which I love, as well as a way to use up bits. And I really love the colours of the cords you put together!
