I laminate the small shapes to act as medallions when my pre K kids string beads to make necklaces. I center the shapes on the yarn, and they add beads to each side. Creative Shapes is the only source I can find that still offers seasonal shapes (not succulents or other random shapes), and I very much appreciate the quality and service they provide. The kids always look forward to finding out what the next shape on the next necklace will be. Thank You!
