Techie Tada!

Hey, hey, hooray...it's finally Friday!

For the past two weeks, it was all about this bag of scrap -- a cool find from a New York City flea market. I think it's a purchase that just keeps on giving and I did my darn best to milk it dry.

The first thing I did was to segregate
the contents by color.

These, paired with other materials that I bought or already had in my possession, were then turned into accessories like a belt, hair clip, shoe clips, necklaces, necklaces and more necklaces!

Well, there are a lot more beads left so I'm making another accessory.

Something for our everyday technology.

I made a pouch from a piece of felt and decorated the flap
with these black beads.

Tada! A cool case for any MP3 player,
digital camera or mobile phone.

As for the rest of the beads, I'll use them in future blah to Tada! projects. Meanwhile, I wish you an awesome weekend!
