Let's Promote!

Please read entire description for details! 
Needed when bracelet is ordered:
► Bracelet size in inches
► Color preference: antique copper, gold or silver
► At least 6 U.S. towns/cities. More would be great in case I need to substitute.
You can choose from gold, silver or antiqued copper for the accent beads. Let me know you want a customized bracelet, give me at least 6 citites or towns from the state or states of your choice, what color you'd like for accent beads and clasp, then I'll work up the bracelet and set you up a custom listing.

Made with paper beads and customized just for you! Want a unique gift for a friend? These are definitely one of a kind items. Can do where you were born, where you live, where you like to visit etc. If it's on a map, I'll find it! Please use cities and towns from the United States!

The photos of finished bracelets are all customized bracelets I have made. There's even one for a James Dean fan with points of interest of his life!

Please allow at least one week for shipping. Each bead is cut, rolled, glued and coated by me!  Feel free to contact me at ThePokey1@aol.com with any questions you may have!

This is for finished bracelet only, nothing used in photographing the bracelet is included.  Clasps may vary.

Price for one customized bracelet = $20.00 plus $2.50 shipping.



I think today I will promote my Zibbet shop, and since it seems to be a sort of  "promote paper" day I will show you my books!  I love books, new or old so here is a group of 3 (remember 3 makes a collection) that I have for sale.
3 is a collection

Recycle those toothbrushes!


 Make these:
Into These!

  Bracelets!  So easy and fun to make.

Here is how you do it:
  1. Remove all the bristles from the toothbrush with tweezers or pliers.
  2. Boil water.
  3. Keep water boiling, put toothbrush in water for five minutes.
  4. Remove toothbrush with tongs, bend to desired shape.
  5. If toothbrush doesn't bend enough, submerge again in water.
  6. Remove toothbrush and bend as much as possible.
Make sure you use potholders or oven mitts to bend the plastic!  Let cool.  If bracelet is too small, it will break, so make sure it's not to hard to put on wrist.  Not all toothbrushes will work, so you might have to try a few.  I found the cheap ones at the dollar stores do NOT work!   The ones used here are Reach and Gum toothbrushes.


Have fun!
