What are these things???
 

I bought these at a quilt show in West Palm Beach, Florida, a few months ago, and the display had a sign of what they are and what they can be used for. I bought three as gifts, but now I don't remember what they are for? Does anyone know. I hate to give them as gifts if I don't even know what they are :D.

Maybe whoever made them is on this board and will chime in.

Thanks for your help!

I believe they are scissor fobs. You loop them on your scissor handle so you know they are yours when you go to a class, etc. Very cute.

she is right, you can use these on scissors or other items so you know they belong to you. Love em when at a retreat or when sewing with others

looks like scissors fobs

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...

Very pretty! They are scissor fobs but can be used to identify other objects as well as long as they have a spot to loop the string through. I think one would look pretty attached to my Singer treadle machine key. :)

I would use them as Zipper pulls!?

I had the same thought, MK. Was just sure I had the answer.

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.

I have ribbon tied to my scissors also. Everyone knows I'll break their arm if they even look like they are going to touch them. I have some beads and cording from my days of thinking I need another hobby like jewelry making. Maybe, just maybe I could make some of those cute fobs.
