Readers of this blog will know by now that I like to make jewelry and art out of rather unconventional things, and this tute is no different. This will show you how to make a cool and kitschy bracelet out of a comb.
You will need a clean comb that measures 7 inches (17.8cm) (preferably unused, but if you're the only one who will be wearing it, feel free to ransack your own comb collection. I guess I am weird about that, although you will be boiling it. I went to cosmetology school, so I am all about sanitation!) I used basic black because for one that's all I had, but it also goes with everything. Look for brightly colored ones if you wish. There are really awesome fluorescent ones that would be great for this project. Anyways, you will also need a saucepan of boiling water, a paper towel or two, and a pair of tongs.

yeah i don't think theres a project for the silverwear ones i just kinda startes throwing things in after making a toothbrush one. but you do it just the same. the only thing i do differently is that i shape them in the pot with tongs by pressing it against the sides of the pot rather then shaping it by hand outside of the pot
