How to make scissor fobs

One of the things I did today was make some scissor fobs - finally. I had bought the charms for these back in February - planning on making them as gifts. But as usual, they got forgotten - out of sight, out of mind!. They sell these things in the shops for $10 and up but you can make them yourself for about $1.50 and a little time.

They're really easy to make. I have these everywhere - on my scissors, on all my hemostats. They're fun to make - it will take you more time deciding what beads to use than it will making them. Plus they make great gifts! Hey - just remembered something .. I saw these in the clothing store being sold as hip hugger jewelry - the kids clip them to their belt loops - and they were EXPENSIVE! So - lots of reasons to make them, eh?

Update: Feb 2006. I taught an on-line class on how to make these. The class isn't up anymore but if you would like to purchase the instructions I used it is only $5.00. I will email you the class file - it is an Adobe PDF file.

Your fobs are great and you can customize them for each particular person you will be giving them to.
Your instructions are clear and makes me want to create some fobs as well.
Very Motivating and a good opportunity to use those special focal beads and charms we all hord in our personal "stash"
Thanks for sharing

Stop Changing the math questions! I had all the other ones memorized....
I love the idea and with your permission would like to make some for the ladies in my embroidery quild. My term as President is up in June and that would be perfect as a passing out gift.
Thanks!!

I had an easy math problem today - yay! I have to do the problems too when I leave replies to you guys. But anyway - please make as many of these as you like. It's the reason I wrote the instructions! Heck - it's not even my idea - I bought one of these at the quilt shop then decided I could make my own and save money .
