I have something like that on my rotary cutter, there are several of us that sew in a group and there is usually more than one of the same item, ruler, cutters, scissor & mats. I use lettered beads for mine.
That ribbon idea is great! I could embroider names on them, add a velcro or button closure. what a great stocking stuffer!

When the kids left for school and I got into their rooms for a deep clean, I found almost a dozen pairs of scissors weaseled away. (A friend regularly gave me scissors for Christmas/birthday - knew my kids; hence the collection.) Wish I had some of these or thought about the ribbon trick. At the time I guess I was too busy hunting glasses, iced tea spoons, etc.
They're long on their own and I am still finding things. Gotten to kinda like it. Oooooh, I am sick!

They are scissor fobs, but I also use something similar on my rotary cutters. I actually used the bookmarks they used to sell at Borders or B&N that had a decorative piece at one end and beads at the other. I would split them and tie the threads.

Rule around the house now is if you want to live don't touch anything with a yellow ribbon on it. It works. I can see the fobs you bought would be a prettier solution.
