New beading supplies and a new find

A few weeks ago, I went to a Joann Fabric and Craft store for the first time in years, and I found these two items:


On the left are some connectors for making eyeglass lanyards, which have recently made my to-do list. One of my aunts used to make them, and back then, I used to think, "I just don't see why anyone would want that." However, now that I need reading glasses myself and realize how often a person has to put them on and take them off, I can see just how practical eyeglass lanyards can be.

On the right are some clasps I found on clearance. I'm not sure how they work, or even if they work, since I haven't opened the package yet, but hey, they were on sale.

On my to-try list is this item I found while flipping through a Fire Mountain Gems catalog that came in the mail, Tuesday:



I am intrigued by this. I can't wear earrings for more than a day because they always irritate my ear lobes. But if this works as promised, I could wear my own earring creations. Or, even better, some my sister and mom have made. A review on Amazon says it works only for a few months, so it would need to be reapplied every now and then, but I'm willing to try it.

Anyone out there try it? What did you think?
