They're stitch markers. I was inspired by McCall's stitch markers that she has on Etsy. I was thinking of buying stitch markers anyways. And I already have the materials. So why not use 'em. Currently their drying up so I don't know how well they take to use. I just made the jump rings, added beads, and closed them up. Then I added Tacky Glue. I hope that glue will work well. It was the only glue I could find around home. These stitch markers will be used for my Clapotis project. I need a ton of stitch markers for this project and I've been borrowing from others and finding whatever I can use as stitch markers at home. I tried to make stitch markers out of yarn but I don't like the fraying it leaves and the tails that I need to move out of the way whenever I pass by them.

love them! cute cute cute!
wow! good idea. i just ran out of markers, so am gonna try this out. why'd u need the glue?
I just tried doing this, but I need larger jump rings. grr! pieces of string for me then...
The glue is for:
(1)the beads to stay in place,
(2)to also to hide the split on the jump rings and
(3) so your yarn won't snag on the jump rings.
