That's cute! If anyone is trying to make these and doesn't have a calculator laying around...Walgreens has a 2 pack of calculators for $1 in their dollar bins. Cute colors like Pink and Green and Orange too.

I had an old calculator that I felt bad throwing away, so I took out the buttons and decided to use them as beads. I was going to make earrings too!

I'm executive director at a youth center where I also teach art and I'm definitely going to make these with the kids! Reminds me of the old typewriter key bracelets we were all making a couple of years back. Thanks for sharing this great idea!
