I had these buttons I wanted to do something with, though none of my ideas had been working out. Then TattingChic started her dicussion of the Single Shuttle Split Ring and its use for climbing out. Oooh, just what I needed! and a lanyard was born.
(Now, who knows why I need a lanyard with bugs on it? How many of you are making a buggy lanyard too?)
Now another discussion has started in TattingLand about adding joins to the SSSR. I can't wait to see where that will lead.
I suppose I could call this an "Excercise Your Stash" project, since otherwise those buttons would have languished in the drawer forever.

Thanks for visiting my blog just now and inviting me to come see this very cool photo! I have sent you an email and hope to find that thread soon! That lanyard is awesome. That is so fun that the technique you suggested has opened up so many possibilities with color! Awesome~ness!!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. That lanyard with bugs on it must be for some kind of tatting convention with a bug theme?!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fabulous project. The buttons were way too nice to leave in a drawer, it's a perfect way to show them off. Are you going to write out the pattern???????
ReplyDeleteNo way will you ever believe that I just started a purple, buggy lanyard.... so I'll just say purple is my favorite color! LOL I really do love it and I'm glad you found a use for those cute buttons!
