Hi! I’ve been knotting bracelets since the American election to keep my hands from doom scrolling. I’m not wearing them and I haven’t really been paying attention to their lengths, some are very long. I have a really nice collection of long knotted bracelets now, mostly straight lines and chevrons. They’re really beautiful! I’ve been trying to think of ways to use them. Put them together in a mosaic or weave them together. Maybe they could line pictures frames? Anyone have put their beautiful bracelets to other uses? Thank you! 🎉

You could use the long bracelets as bookmarks! I think there’s plenty of other uses but I can’t think of more right know. 😅

If you own a dog, I’ve seen some people attach bracelets to use as dog leashes. I also use crimp ends to make my longer bracelets into choker necklaces. Hope that’s helpful!

Love these ideas! Thanks so much! Maybe a cat collar? I’ve also thought about making a big garland for a Christmas tree. I want to work up to wall hangings but the appeal to me is the mindless tying, I’ve done some diamonds and pyramids and it’s too much concentration lol. If anyone else has ideas for long straight ones keep them coming!

Too long for anklets and too short for necklaces or choker-necklaces? They could be phone straps / lanyards. Or for other things like umbrella strap / earbud lanyard / keys strap. Reading glasses cord. Ceiling fan pull-cord. Boot decorations. Book-bag decorations. I suppose it depends on their thickness and the ties situation. Fold them over and stitch them together to make lanyards / wrist-item cords. Suppose you could combine 2 or three together to make wrap-bracelets? Hope these spark some interest.

I have a few ideas: 1. Watch band: If you have a watch, you can make some watch bands (I am doing this and it's fun and nice to do. 2. Make some money: You can sell them and make some money (I know this one is not for everyone. Just a suggestion ) That was all i could think of on this moment. hope i helped you! |
