I really like these large bone mala beads.  Mala beads means prayer beads and they are strung on a strand of 108 beads.  I like these because they are very large and you can use 2-3 on our smaller items like knives, forks, spoon and get a really substantial and fun piece!  I recommend getting many pewter spacers, so you can have a great tight fit on the items! You can have a  finished product for less than 8 dollars!!  You can sell these all day long for 20 dollars!!  Again, great investment and easy money!
