No, I just folded it and put it in a side pocket. I’m not really much for patterns :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Hello all :slight_smile: I shared these with @Magpie and she wanted me to share them with the greater community :sweat_smile: so here goes!

Once upon a time I was desperate to practice making wrap bracelets but I didn’t have the leather cord or beads to make any… so I improvised with beads made after @Magpie’s class and fabric “twine” made extra thin. These are the only pictures I snapped because after I was done it felt too ridiculously chunky for my taste, but it was a fun experiment! And since @Magpie asked me to share, here it is :laughing:

I love this for a lot of reasons!

You used what you had…improvised…it is scrappy…it is definitely handmade…it is colorful…

These kind of projects are a reminder to me that people around the world make things in resourceful ways…to adorn their lives with pretty things!

Thanks for sharing…

We decided it would be perfect for holding pencils or somesuch. A crafty bandolier, it’s the literal BEST! I’m pretty sure my scrappy sisters @Abbeeroad & @MightyMitochondria will agree :scissors: :sewing_needle:

Revelations:
Scraps beget scraps.
Trying to use up scraps ends up with more scraps.
This is a perpetual cycle.
I may need an intervention.

Youtube suggested this video to me this morning. Thought you scrap-lovers might enjoy it. It’s for bigger-small-pieces. I believe it’s 4 strips of 4"x14". She make each ornament with 2 of the same strip, but notes that you can easily do it with 4 different fabrics.
