What I do with scraps




I make a lot of clay pattern sheets for beads and veneers and sometimes there are scraps left that are to nice to mush up so I like to figure out ways to use them.

I used the left overs the other day to make these cute little flip flop beads. They are tiny only about 3/4 th inch and the straps are made with tiny seed beads. The bottoms even have treads like real flip flops.

They are so fun to make and I think they will make so really cute summer earrings. I think I will make a pair for myself one pair for my shop and list the rest for other people to make things with.

These were so fun to make I think I will make some more scrap flip flops....

Cranes how cool are they on your blog?
The little shoes are a fun little project. I am so glad you like them.

Thanks a bunch Helen. I made some really cute little earrings out of a couple of them.
They are a fun little whimsy...Ginger
