Back–
They were made for me by a reader who was inspired to improve my beaver trapping experience. This will all make much more sense if you know that story–well maybe not.
And so the contest was born.
And then your comments began.
And then I could be found on my floor rolling with laughter.
And then I thought maybe I should share some of your answers.
So here, in no particular order (except I am saving the winner(s) for last) are YOUR answers:
Should I use them as a shirt accessory to keep the buttons from gapping? I usually wear my shorty pajamas when trapping so I might not use the shirt…
Should they decorate my fruit bowl? No, it is too dark to fully appreciate how pretty they are…
Would they make a headband to keep the hair out of my eyes? I tried it, but then the beads were then in my eyes…
I could wrap them around trees to either distract the golfers from what I am wearing, mark a territory in which I could wear less clothes or mark trees that are appropriate for beaver felling. I am worried that I might get in trouble with the HOA…
Should they be used to decorate my purse organizer? Pretty, but overkill…
Could I use them to muzzle a beaver? Please note that this is not an actual beaver (no actual beavers were harmed and yes, that is Holly’s fruitbowl)…
I agree that it would best be used to muzzle the professional trapper. But that doesn’t seem very likely…
Would the best use be beaver collars? I could even tell what beavers were previously trapped. What a useful beaver sorting system…
It could be a whip for snakes and turtles. The rattle might even scare away rattle snakes! I am all for whipping and scaring, but would like them field tested before actual use…
Should I use them to caulk my bathroom sink? None of my bathrooms are pink…
I could apply them to the snakes so they would be cuter and less frightening. Please note that this is not an actual snake (no snakes were harmed) and an actual snake may be larger then it appears…
I could apply it to my forehead to protect it from my minivan. Or just put it on the corner of my minivan door to cushion my head against further injury. That might save me some pain…
Pasties?
Maxi pad decorations?To keep my boobs from falling out of my top?
Garters?
A waxing tool?
I am sparing you the photos on all of those (you can thank me very much)…
Should they be used to entice beavers into the trap? Please note this is not an actual beaver trap (no beaver traps were harmed)…
Wait!
Wait!
Wait!
THIS IS
So sweet! I am afraid the trim might not wear well on the pjs, so I have decided to do this…
I am using them to trim my snake fighting boots (Veronica was the first to guess this).
I think I will be the fashion envy of the beaver trapping world…
Thanks Julie for such a fun gift. And in true Nirvana style, I beat it like a dead horse.
So Jennifer H and Veronica will split the prize since no one got the two part question right.

PS–Please excuse me if I missed your link or I linked you to the wrong thing. I was suffering from link fatigue…
ha! perfect pajama accessories, and great ingenuity on your part, boot-decorating with them. You clearly have some crafter in your genes…
Duh…so obvious, but, of course, not something I came up with. Oy.
And how long did this take you? :0)
