Beaded Lanyard


Check this out. It's my new beaded lanyard for my school ID/key card. Isn't it nifty? I'd like to take the credit for making it, but that goes to my BFF, Janae, aka Girl Genius and Master of Toe Candy

Janae completely designed it, and then handed me beads to string, one at a time, just so I could feel like I was making a contribution.

She's so nice like that. Always thinking about my fragile ego.


Janae works at Robert's and, let me just say this, that's like being a junkie drug dealer, if you know what I mean. Girlfriend should not be around all things crafty because she has no self control.

Which is why she's my BFF.


I love her. And I love my new lanyard. Next she's going to "help" me make a lanyard for every holiday and then probably some that I make up too.

Janae says that I need a lanyard that will go with everything I wear, and I told her that I'm only wearing clothes that match my lanyard.


I hope that's not too limiting.

  3. you could have a morning on and an afternoon one and have "Lanyard" changes at lunch. kinda like at the oscars when they change outfits at each break. Tee-hee. do we need to make up reasons to craft?

  9. A good BFF is hard to find and it looks like you found a good one. How cute that she included you in the stringing process.

  10. Adorable! I hope your school year is going well.

    I work at a store that sells educational supplies and decoratives for teachers. Our lanyards are plain and nothing like that!! She could probably do well selling those to teachers!

  18. Wow that is really nice! That would be neat to making something like that but for a key or ring; something important you want to keep on an attractive necklace.
