\"Stroppel<\/a><\/p>\n

I was cleaning up my work space after covering the hand in the last post and made this Stroppel Cane Jelly roll Cane.<\/p>\n

From my pattern business years ago I still have hundreds of brass button covers that for some reason I still have. Okay I admit, it’s because I’m a keeper of “things I might be able to use in my art projects” kind of person. I also have lots of rubber cording. I decide to combine the two making these “beads” removable and interchangeable.<\/p>\n

Of course your cording has to be thin enough and flexible enough for the clasp to close.<\/p>\n

The second thing I have a few of are brass button on a shank. I pushed one through each slice of my cane and baked them<\/p>\n

All I had to do is run the cord through the button shank and tada. The cord was just tight enough to keep everything in place and keep them from sliding. Both of these necklaces lay well and look very interesting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There’s a discussion on FaceBook about Buna Cord or Rubber cording. Several people say that years later the cord gets brittle and falls apart. I’ve heard this before, but I haven’t had it happen to me.<\/p>\n

You might want to consider a different cording material if you are going to make anything like this and offer it for sale. These are just for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
