Zip-ties part IV: best of the rest.

Just wanted to wrap up this zip-tie series with a few more designs.  I hope you have had fun, I sure have!  (To see the rest, go here, here and here.)  Okay, let's see the final four that made the cut.

A two-tone leaf.  Just join two zip-ties front-to-back, and snip off one of the tails.



Not sure what to call these next ones, but they are cute little critters.  The ends are joined with a deeliebob called a coil end, available anyplace that has jewelry findings.


A knot!  These were a happy accident and I can't quite explain how I did them.  I know it involves a fourth dimension...good luck.


There were a few permutations...gulp.


By the way, time is an illusion and the Eloi are real.

A chain bracelet.  Just link your basic leaves.  On each end, include half the clasp as you zip the leaf closed.



Okay, let me stop now.  Thanks for continuing to come back, my loved, appreciated and really, really, really good-looking readers!  Even when I kind of go too far.  I promise, my next idea will not involve anything made of plastic.

Erm.  I might be lying.

  7. Well you're just zipping along!

    Yeah. I know. I'm sorry.

    The red and white knots are my favorite. I may have to tell Savannah they're impossible to make. That way I'll have a pair in no time.

  10. Great job in making them look like jewelry! Do you know in most major cities they now use these instead of handcuffs for the innocent until proven guilty? Your crafts make me want to hang around outside of the police station looking for freebies.
