Broken Scraps, Butterflies, and Arm Candy

I have been cleaning up lately.  I threw away so many old notes.  I have so much junk.  I just went through a drawer with old jewelry.  My god, old times.  I haven't seen some of this stuff since middle school and high school.

Anyone remember these butterflies.

I have so many ribbons. LOL!  I have more not shown.

I have an old cheap charm bracelet.  And a broken chain of rhinestones.  Look!  I re-purposed it.  I think it looks very fashionable, and very cute on me.  New arm candy for free.   Yay.

Of course this drove me into googling arm candy.  Lots of DIY.  So beautiful, and then I remember para-cord bracelets.  They are so nice.  They remind of of macrame or tatting.  Found some rope like string and did a cobra braid on a piece of ribbon.  I think this makes a cute bracelet.  I just need to finish the ends.

I think you may enjoy this.  My sweet mother got me this.  We went to this jewelry store that does DIY bracelets.  I picked the string color, crystals, and design.  The gentlemen tied everything together.  It is beautiful.
