hi yawl.. wow i havent used this site in years. i have a bunch of beads left over that i havent used up, regular pony beads, misc charms, letters & numbers, etcetera. what ideas do yall have to use them up?? other than singles. i dont wear jewlery like Ever because its a sensory nightmare but i love making things. i dont really have enough beads of a single color to make large cuffs (atleast that are majority of one color) any ideas how to use them up?? i only have elastic fabric covered string, idunno what happened to my fishing line.

A rotator or a giant 3d cuff maybe? rainbowsmileblush

Random cuffs are always a good idea. You could make a mini rotator and use the shaped beads for the single in the rotator. Btw I love the biggie perler beads but can’t find them in stores where did you get themmm

perhaps you could group them by color and then follow a pattern, so you end up with a variegated sort of look, that might be pretty cool. Or you could make gradients, things like that.
