oh dear! I saw them and thought how pretty they would look on the top of a stick holding a wall hanging (or bottom) lol DORK!

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! :-) Pat |
My first thought was they would make a nice decoration on a quilter's keychain.
|
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.

They are for your scissors and they make great gift for Quilters. I have one and love it. I need more for my other scissors. rjwider if you make some PM me.

Ditto what they said, but I must thank you for your post. I absolutely cracked up when I read that you bought them and couldn't remember what they were! So glad I'm not the only one. Still laughing...

Slip on handles of anything you want, phone, scissors, snippers, compass, handle of coffee cup, etc. I used some on small change purses that I made.
|
I used similar gadgets for key rings :)

I have yellow ribbons tied on the handles of all my scissors. My family used to just grab scissors and cut and then my scissors would be ruined for sewing. 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.
