There is a ringing bell inside the ball. Ball size is 2 cm. Black nylon strap can be attached to cell phone, camera, bag, zipper, etc..

6 different colors are available now at TinyShiny.com.

When I was kid in Japan, I had a key holder with ringing bell for my bicycle key. That way I could here the bell ringing whenever I dropped the key.
Today, I like to attach little charms to my bag and jacket, so that I can hear the little jingling bell sound everywhere I go.

Origami Cube Earrings

I just created some new origami cube earrings.

I used to make multicolored Origami cubes (little boxes) as ornaments.

They are made of 6 different pieces of paper.

Because my cube earrings are so tiny, it takes little bit longer to make each one.
These Tiny Cubes are only 8mm square.
