► Recycled Embroidery Floss Scrap Necklace - Craft Tutorial 12

[BuddyClubRae]

Could you use those colored rings that come off of pill bottles???????

[BeyondBracelets]

@BuddyClubRae I think any ring would work for the most part so long as they don't have really big 'teeth' on the inner ring.

[gingerluck5]

Would I be able to make this into a dream catcher?

[BeyondBracelets]

@gingerluck5 Yeah, I'm pretty sure that would work.

[gingerluck5]

@BeyondBracelets okay, so if I turned it into a dream catcher, and i wanted to put a couple of rings together hanging from each other, do you have any idea how i could do that?

[BeyondBracelets]

@gingerluck5 I'd probably just use some of the same string I made them with in order to form a loop between them.

[gingerluck5]

@BeyondBracelets ok thanks i'll try that! :)

[YouCantEatSparkles]

@BeyondBracelets

Its amazing how you can do that

Take somthing ugly (like bottle rings) and make it beutiful

:) :)

[focusonme27]

now i have to start saving bottle rings:-)cool love this

[beginwithtoday]

such a neat idea! i love it

[texasyarnlover]

just a tip about how I take off the rings. I use a thumb tack. I place the point of the tack between the bottom of the ring and the lip where it sits and push up. Once you do that and the section your pushing on clears the lip that holds it in it just slips off. I struggle for a while trying to figure out what tool would make it easier and this is the one I use constantely.

[BeyondBracelets]

@texasyarnlover Sharp objects always are fun... thanks for the idea. lol.

[futurefreakz3000]

I just made one and it looks awesome!!!!

[BeyondBracelets]

@futurefreakz3000 I'm glad it came out well for you.

[futurefreakz3000]

At first this looked really hard but when you continue to watch its sooo easy

[Reemaew]

This is amazing, thanks, I have so much leftover strong that I don't throw away because I don't want to waste it, and know I get to make these awesome necklaces :)

[manndy1221]

Thank you so much.

[manndy1221]

Sorry for commenting again. But I'm on my phone and I can't comment on a comment lol. But I tried that and it looks a little odd. Your creative. Lol can you think of anything else?

[BeyondBracelets]

@manndy1221 I'll see what I can do... maybe I can figure something else out.

[peacelovedance001]

have u ever consitered cross stitching? U seem very interested in thread (not in a bad way) so cross stitching is making a pic out of thread u should try it :)

[BeyondBracelets]

@peacelovedance001 I've tried it before but I don't find it very fun. Maybe if I were to try out micro-stitching or something for jewelry... but as far as large pictures go it's not my thing.

[manndy1221]

I made 4 so far and I love them. But I was wondering if you could figure out how to do something with the caps themselves. I have alot and I can't figure out anything. Please? :D tanks

[BeyondBracelets]

@manndy1221 Maybe try wrapping them and making mini dream catchers... or do you want me to just think up other stuff to do with them besides wrapping?

[Jassy101Ms]

How do I make big ones

[BeyondBracelets]

@Jassy101Ms Bigger rings.

[Jassy101Ms]

@BeyondBracelets ok

[inspiredbymanythings]

I love it thanks for sharing! I'm gonna try some:) keep going I love the ideas you come up with=))

[90210Bracelets]

hey if u need a pic of the bracelet give me ur email and ill send it o u

[90210Bracelets]

can u make a video on how to make a chekared bracelet ? if u can that would be awesome ty

[TheBrianna981]

How*

[TheBrianna981]

Uhh another question..if you know his to make rings with the string can u please make a video on it?

[BeyondBracelets]

@TheBrianna981 Just look up "BeyondBracelets How To Make a Friendship Bracelet Ring"

[TheBrianna981]

What if u have alot more could u go around the ring again with string or would u just have to cut it? Just wonddering

[BeyondBracelets]

@TheBrianna981 You can tie it off and just cut it. You could continue to wrap around it if you wanted to give more tassels but it isn't necessary.

[nao2000mi]

Thanks for posting this tutorial. Very creative:)

[ThePlayer1117]

awsome thanks totally made it

[mariannegracious]

whooooooaa your new videos are so cool with the high quality of your tripod!it gets me more excited:)

[ginaXeatzXbrainz13]

Reduce Reuse Recycle!! I'm shook got this and love it very much. It's also a great way to keep the kids I take care of at bay. :) thanks so much for this. Very creative and useful.

[ebajercecullen]

Do you sell the items yo make? If not, you should cause I'll buy them!

[BeyondBracelets]

@ebajercecullen I do sell things on my store envy (link on my youtube channel) but I've been lazy lately and haven't really been updating my shop... haha. I am going to try working on it and adding new items soon, though.

[HayItsJ]

do you think you could turn this into a dream catcher somehow? If you know of a way let me know! I think it would look very cool! :D

[BeyondBracelets]

@HayItsJ Yeah. You would just do this and then make the dream catcher weaving.

I might do a tutorial on just the weaving... mainly because you can use any ring and turn it into a dream catcher... but if you know how already just feel free to go on and do it.

[HayItsJ]

@BeyondBracelets unfortunately no, I lack the knowledge of weaving :( I would greatly appreciate a tutorial! If I learned how I think it would be a nice gift since store dream catchers are way overpriced!

[BeyondBracelets]

@HayItsJ Okay, I'll keep a tutorial on that in mind. =3

[happypuppy1011]

i tried this last night, i did not have any super glue, so i used nail glue, and it worked pretty well, great idea.

[BeyondBracelets]

@happypuppy1011 Yeah, nail glue is pretty comparable to super glue when it comes to function.

[waterbottleyea]

wow lisa ur so clever!! luv it!!

[blondekittyg]

Do you know anything with soda can tabs, besides the earings, i have a bunch of soda can tabs that i sue to collect and have no idea what to do with them

[BeyondBracelets]

@blondekittyg Bracelets. I don't have a tutorial but you can use them for bracelets.

[blondekittyg]

@BeyondBracelets How so?



[BeyondBracelets]

@blondekittyg Just YT or Google search "Soda Tab Bracelets"

[Harleymama2381]

I am soooo going through my recycling now :) Love the video!!!!!!!!

[youcanbemydinosaur]

Youuu are REALLY!! godd and makeing stuff O: C:

[lzrd0113]

Wait. Doesn't this mean that you could also make a wrap bracelet made entirely from scrap pieces?

[BeyondBracelets]

@lzrd0113 Yep.

[Bracelet101bb]

I made one and it turned really good. Love the video

[lexymkhotmailcom]

I love this idea! Because even if you mess up you havent really wasted anything since it was all scraps to begin with! Thanks so much:)

[Anicea610]

@xstinkerbellx95 It's only done with one color.

[Anicea610]

@xstinkerbellx95 She just holds the bobby pin open and wraps the one side like in this video. The hard part is doing the knot at the end without it falling out. I've done a few too, but I prefer circles since I don't really wear bobby pins.

[jucykat642]

Mine came out like crap lmfao

[BeyondBracelets]

@jucykat642 Aw. You have to wrap it really tight... so maybe you wrapped too loose? 

[jucykat642]

@BeyondBracelets I used like gatorade thingy and the scratchy things in the inside kept geting in the way and i think my strings were too short bc there was alost of tasles and stuff and i cut them off and now it looks like crap :(

[BeyondBracelets]

@jucykat642 I put in the video description...

■ Tie the string onto the ring and start wrapping. If your ring has sharp points (like on a Gatorade ring) then feel free to cover it in a piece of duct tape or some other form of tape. Black works best.

[jucykat642]

@BeyondBracelets oooo thanks haha, i don't really read the description

[SilverMistAurora]

Thanks! This is awesome! :)

[Anicea610]

My friend has been doing this on bobby pins. It's so much easier with circles!

[xstinkerbellx95]

@Anicea610 how does she do it on bobby pins??

[jermee2001]

great idea!!! u could hang a pendant or charm in the middle and one way to make your looping easier flip that ring inside out and cut off the little "tab" things...

[twinkleofhopexx3]

this is so coooll!! hahah wait what ring did you use for the bigger ones in the background? please answer!! :)

[BeyondBracelets]

@twinkleofhopexx3 Those would be Gatorade rings. I had to wrap them in electrical tape to keep the spikes from poking through the wraps, though.

[Mag9z]

You are the best

[leighaisorange]

I love it wow. So amazing

[Hm00m00]

Awesome!

[3eternity3]

love it, sitting here making some already! :)

[fashiongurl37]

love this. do you ever watch other craft vids, like DIYS vids?

[BeyondBracelets]

@fashiongurl37 Not really. I like figuring out how to do things on my own. I pretty much just look at things that people wear, that is in stores or in photos to get inspiration. Sometimes I will see certain colors in a picture and just get an idea of how to use them in some crazy way like "Hm, that purple and green polka dot would look awesome as an earring." or something like that... I can't explain it. My brain is just wired to link all of the things I encounter and mash them into jewelry/art.

[fashiongurl37]

@BeyondBracelets i get it, I"m that way when i look at clothes

[jucykat642]

Can you show us how to make the coke can cap things bracelet?

[BeyondBracelets]

@jucykat642 Soda tab bracelet? I could just do a basic one with elastic I guess... mainly because the one I do is so hard to close/finish that it takes me 10 minutes just to get it right.

[jucykat642]

@BeyondBracelets thanks!!

[TashasCreations]

I'm making some earrings right now:)

[TheMilklover3]

is craft thread okay?

[BeyondBracelets]

@TheMilklover3 If you want to use it that's fine. I dislike craft thread but in the end it is pretty interchangeable with embroidery floss when it comes to wrapping things.

[swimmerfun1]

i've been waiting for this!! Yay! thanks for making videos ! You do such a great job! (:

[mysteryloser24]

That is just too cute! ^^

[MissingPuzzlePiece27]

U can use them to make little dream catchers

[xXLiveLaughLove479]

I'm not sure if it'll work, but I'm going to try doing this with thin, metal bangle bracelets. I have a ton that I don't even wear, so I might as well make something cool out of them. :3

[BeyondBracelets]

@xXLiveLaughLove479 That would be awesome. I'm sure it will work out. Good luck. ^_^

[K8e92]

@xXLiveLaughLove479 you should totally tell us how well that works out

[xXLiveLaughLove479]

@K8e92 Ok, I will! :]

[Mrs803]

very cute idea :)

[funeralbliss]

Cute idea. :)

[iluvthesums]

It will kinda look like those dream catchers if u put the net inside :)

[BeyondBracelets]

@iluvthesums Yeah, you could definitely use these as dream catcher decorations or earrings/necklaces. I thought about showing how to make them but I'd probably want to make it a lesson in and of itself. I'm trying my best to keep my videos shorter since most people flip if they go over the 15 minute mark... haha.

[SarahElizabethTV]

I really want to do this!!! I will try sometime! They are really cute

[horseynia]

Oh wow this is sooo pretty!! I now have a use for the scraps!! Thank youu!!! :D

[rexlacetutorialshpf]

could u do the same thing with rexlace/lanyard string please reply soon as possible

[BeyondBracelets]

@rexlacetutorialshpf You most likely could. I'm sure you could use a bunch of different stuff depending on the look you want. You'd probably want to super glue the ends of the rexlace down to the plastic ring really well, though. You could knot it but the knot might make it look really bulky. Good luck.

[rexlacetutorialshpf]

@BeyondBracelets thank u very much 4 replying!!!!!

[TheBombcraft]

That's bomb! Cant wait till next vid:)

[K8e92]

this is really cool. when you said "hair wraps" my gears started turning and I thought of a million possibilities of pendants I could make. Also, I figured you could use the water ones to make earrings :) super cute and funky earrings that no one else would have.

[BeyondBracelets]

@K8e92 I actually tried them on earring hooks but they just were too big looking (for my taste) so I just undid it. lol.

[K8e92]

@BeyondBracelets even with water bottles? wow, oh well.

[BeyondBracelets]

@K8e92 Nah, they might be fine for some people but I just hate big 'hoopy' earrings... They just seem to bother me. You are welcome to try it, though. =3

[K8e92]

@BeyondBracelets i might, i dunno yet... i like the pendant idea

[DeeaWoops]

Wow, you have awesome ideas! I wish I was as creative as you; I have tons of scraps (ever since I started watching your videos I've been keeping them) and I don't really know what to do with them, so thank you ^.^

[TheCutiepie1975]

wow I love it how creative you are thanks for sharing I just love all the things you come up with.

[mybraceletsify]

what brand floss do you get

[BeyondBracelets]

@mybraceletsify DMC usually.

[tmgabzzz]

amazing :)

[MyEndlessSummer1]

I made a pair of earings by wrapping those in rafia a while ago . I'll definitely be makes some of these . (:

[lashyon]

@beyondbracelets actually You're really gonna like tonights tutorial I think!

[lashyon]

cute idea when you see today's tutorial that I post later tonight maybe it will give you another idea on how to make this - Im doing the tutorial I told You I was going to do tonight... what to do with empty toilet paper, paper towel and wrapping paper rolls.... So hopefully you'll like it! It's anything wearable... but I'm sure you could do something with it lol :P *off to school*

[braceletboi01]

pritty useful cool

[catzeye510]

Pretty cool!

[Kassasix3]

That is so cool!
