Lanyards





Maybe it's schizophrenic to attempt to make a bizillion different types of things via beading, but here's a little something for those who need to wear ID badges, whistles, pens, someplace to hang reading glasses, whatever...

Each lanyard is approximately 30 inches long, which should be more than long enough to swipe badges while still being short enough to keep whatever you're hanging on the lanyard above waist level. The beadwire used to string these lanyards is tested to 44lbs, so you could hang keys on the swivel and still be okay. I tried to get my fiance to test one out with a whistle while refereeing a soccer game, but he wouldn't be caught dead with one of these! :) However, I'm sure a female ref could appreciate the artistry. The swivels are silver plated, to keep the "jewelry" look. Each lanyard is crimped twice, for extra durability. After all, what's the point of having something like this if you can't take it out year after year?
