The mega list below should give you all sorts of ideas on what to do with odd beads, leather, cord and even beading wire scraps.

You got me thinking about left-over pieces Pearl. Looking at this I wondered about my memory wire but I don't think I've ever had any left overs so far.
ReplyDeleteHowever - once you see what can be done with it - it's an ahah! moment.
I then had to click on your links for left-over beads and leather etc.
I like to use everything as inspiration and the boost that's sometimes needed to get into the studio.
That's a good comment about not having memory wire leftovers. Regular users will find that they will often have less than enough at the end of the memory wire coil supply so this tutorial inspires the use of leftover! Or as you say, it doesn't have to be leftover. Enjoy the inspirations!
