Fobs

Today was a fob kind of day, I just made a few.  You can use them on zippers, purses, jackets, and more.  Mine have gone through the wash many times without incident so don't worry about the beads breaking there tougher than you think. The skulls are carved stone, the larger ones were white but when I tumbled them they turned this tan color and to tell you the truth I like them even better.  I'm not sure what made them change from the cream color and I may not be able to reproduce it so I haven't thrown out the water from this batch and am going to throw the rest of them in before I change it. Don't you just love happy accidents.

  1. These are awesome. Did you also make the clasp? That is a great use of beads and I like the bone color better as well! Enjoy the day. Erin

    1. I do make the clasp, in my jewelry n other stuff you'll notice that I try to make all the components and have as little purchased items involved unless I am repurposing or using something old. It's a personal goal and challenge every day.

      These are made out of recycled 14 gauge wire and after they have been tumbled the strength of the clasp is really good. They are a pain to make and get just right so that they have good spring.
