This reminds me of my life about 35 years ago -- I had a friend who created necklaces by making beads out of tiny squares cut from glossy colored magazine and rolled up. It also reminds me of Family Circle Magazine -- I remember when pop-top soda cans were new, and Family Circle showed on its cover a necklace made out of pop-tops. Andrea Martin of SCTV (what a great show -- John Candy, Rick Moranis, Katherine O'Hara) used to do a spoof called Crazy Crafts where she made lampshades out of milk cartons and it was hilarious especially because she was so intent and serious about it.
