Barefoot Sandals

Pinterest Challenge project for today: barefoot sandals. I used the tutorial from eHow. This is a project that I am trying out for the birthday party of my oldest. It was a fairly easy project, but kind of time consuming. The stretchy jewelry cord I got was too thick to fit 2 strands through a bead. So, I pulled out some 4lb fishing line to see if I could make it work.

I have decided that maybe a plain anklet would work better for the party. I could still use the stretchy cord, and they wouldn't take as much time. In the meantime I'd like to apologize for the foot picture :)

Eyeglass Chains

My grandmother loved her eyeglass chain that I made her last year. She wore it all the time. In fact, she wore it out. I had to replace the monofilament (I replaced it with metal wire) and the connector (replace the thread/fabric one with a plastic one). This year I made her a few more. Now she can change them out to match her outfits. I also made one for my oldest child, who recently became a full-time glasses wearer. Hers is the one on the right.
