Kristin, who does the Craft Leftovers blog, has just posted a new project: stitch markers for knitters, made with straight pins, polymer clay, jump rings, and beading pliers. In this project, the straight pins are used the way that wire or head-pins would otherwise be used in a similar project, and the polymer clay is used to make the "beads" that often dangle from stitch markers.
Since the polymer clay is just swirled together, these are easy to make with things that you may have around the house. The aim of Craft Leftovers is to provide you with projects that help use up small amounts of supplies, and this certainly fits the bill.
This style of stitch marker is not appropriate for crochet, which requires split markers.
