I snipped each thread right by the knot so I could use the elastic in them again.
With adding a few of my own beads this is what I came up with.....
2 necklaces for both of my lads, with loads of beads left over
Here's Zack with his, I used the brown and cream beads, and added 2 larger beads to put either side of the surfboard charm I had.
& heres Kai with his. I used the black and cream beads, adding my own red beads. I need to get more elastic to make this one larger as though it fits perfectly at the moment Kai grows very quickly and I dont want gaps in the necklace. The elastic in the necklace is extremely stretchy, stretching to almost 3 times the size of the necklace so I have no worries with Kai wearing it.I also had the biggest compliment I could get from my OH, he's asked me to make him a couple of bracelets like them.
They look so cool! I bet the boys are very proud to wear your creations.
ReplyDeleteOh, these are lovely! :-) Great find, and you've turned them into something very special x

These are lovely K,your boys look proud to be wearing them. Its just the kind of thing my oldest son wears. Although the one he is wearing now says I love you daddy, made by Willow and her mummy. They made me one from a flat pebble we found on the beach in Wales, I absoloutely love it xx
