Amazing DIY Rope Bracelet from a SHOPPING BAG

A few months ago, I had a conversation with myself while cleaning the apartment. It went like this.

“Take a deep breath because today is the day you are finally going to start throwing away stuff you don’t need and don’t use. Steel your heart, woman!”. I went in confident, armed with a feather duster and garbage bags.

Hours later, I found myself sitting in a circle of old essay papers, pebbles I found at the beach, pretty but worn-out wrapping paper, and tons of shopping bags.

Before you either condemn me severely or want to hug me out of self-identification, you should know that besides this completely valid reason why one should keep beautiful paper bags, some crafty people have even invented a way for you to use their handles to make conversation-starting jewelry.

Isn’t that beautiful? Isn’t that conversation-starting? I would talk to the person whose wrist this was attached to. Wouldn’t you talk to me if this was on my wrist?

So you see, hoarders are just people who won’t quit on things. They’re just taking some time to figure out a thing’s full potential.
