Vintage Knitting Needle Jewelry!
I first saw this idea maybe a year ago, and I'm sure it's been around way longer than that, but I finally got around to trying it out yesterday and it's superrad!
It's the same concept as the classic toothbrush bracelet, so the directions are basically the same: put vintage plastic knitting needles in boiling water till they're pliable, then bend them as you choose.
Here is a blog post on diylife about the bracelets, and another on Elliphantom Knits with a basic how-to and some great looking bracelets! Like these:
So, in my experimenting, I tried making necklaces too and I love them! Kinda weird, but I think they rock!
If you want to try this, just be careful. The plastic will be super hot, so wear heavy oven mitts. And have fun!!
