safety pin bracelet

[samcore.livejournal.com]

i made this a few weeks ago for a family friend...i made one for myself after visiting england halfway through last year using red and black beads. i saw something like it in a catalogue that came in the uk version of kerrang! magazine...i vaguely recall it saying that it was a south african idea *shrug* but i haven't found it again since. i think the store was joe brown? or something. anyway. on with the picture...







i made up all the pins first with the beads and stuff, crushed the ends so they can't come open and spill everywhere then threaded them alternating the end on to two pieces of elastic. pretty simple but it took me all of finding nemo to do >_<
