My friend and I play ukulele and we are constantly losing our picks. My friend suggested we make them into a necklace or bracelet. So I bought a bunch of colorful picks, used some wire from my stash, and used some glass beads I had lying around.

Description

My friend and I play ukulele and we are constantly losing our picks. My friend suggested we make them into a necklace or bracelet. So I bought a bunch of colorful picks, used some wire from my stash, and used some glass beads I had lying around.

Instructions

  1. Small 2021 02 09 004907 16334048 f5af 41b1 a95d f71a9ae8cf20

    Poke a hole in the top of a guitar pick. I used a hook from my knitting loom. Be careful. You don’t want to split the pick and/or your finger.

  2. Small 2021 02 09 005146 3c42357b c5b1 4e83 90c5 a6f65b4bd2ce

    Thread a piece of wire through the hole you made and twist it a couple of times.

  3. Small 2021 02 09 005245 1bd59536 b8e8 4ee4 85c3 d7ac1ae86941

    Thread the beads through the wire, and then wrap the wire around a pen, or in my case, the hook I used for poking the hole in the pick.

  4. Small 2021 02 09 005549 58e95376 ed3c 4314 8b5b f62a897ec622

    Trim the wire if necessary. I kept the loop up top large so you can slide it on and off the necklace (or bracelet).
