Dimensions of each individual block:
6.5″ tall
4″ deep
1.5″ thick
Together, they will easily support pieces up to 12″ tall and any length!

Finished with a light coat of polyurethane.

Sold in pairs of two blocks to make one complete stand.

I take pride in producing beautiful, well crafted items from salvaged wood. Because these stands are made by hand in small batches, each one will be unique and slightly different, and there will be some natural variation of hue and grain patterns in the wood.

Flotsam is a one-person operation. I cut each small batch individually from carefully selected scrap wood, which I collect locally. Because I make everything by hand in small batches, each item will be unique and slightly different, and there will be some natural variation of hue and grain patterns in the wood.

I started making these as hair pins, but have learned that they are useful tool in sewing and ebroidery as well. They can double as a wooden awl (for enlarging holes), a stiletto (for holding fabric in place and pushing close to sewing machine feet), or a seam turner (for pushing out corners and pressing seams).

I finish these with a thin protective coat of polyurethane, followed by a beeswax and mineral oil rub, which leaves them feeling silky smooth.

Are you a crafter with specific needs? I love making one-of-a-kind craft tools for other makers! Contact me with your custom request.

Roughly, these are the dimensions of the boxes pictured:

3 ¾” wide
The inside of each row is about 1″ wide, 1″ deep, and 13″ long

If you would like something with similar wood hues, choose the “Cedar & Oak” variation. Or, choose a mystery combination and I’ll use whatever I have lying around, plus I’ll tell you the story of where I got the wood.

Feel free to contact me if you’d like to tweak the design a bit. I’m interested in figuring out what it is that people will find most useful. Also, let me know if you have other beading or crafting needs, I love making things for people who make things!

If you haven’t seen Grace’s video, it’s about making money as an artist. And beading! Watch the video here.

Tough, water-resistant finish: Nautical charts are printed on tough material, and these paper beads are finished with an exterior grade, non-yellowing polyurethane that makes them very water resstant. They can be submerged in water for a few minutes and will not be affected. However, they are paper at the core, so they are not fully water proof.

I use hypoallergenic, stainless steel earring hooks for sensitive skin.

The large option weighs 3 oz. The tin is just over 3″ in diameter and about 1″ deep. It includes a sponge for ease of use. This is the ideal size for anyone with cutting boards and/or a large number of wooden utensils.

The small option weighs 0.5 oz. The tin is about 1.5″ in diameter and about 0.75″ deep. I suggest this to anyone who is buying wooden utensils for the first time. It also makes a great gift addition.

Both large and small containers have labels with ingredients as well as instructions – simply apply with a sponge or rag and wipe off! For those who want to learn more, I have a detailed explanation of different finishing and conditioning options here. And of course, don’t hesitate to message me and ask any questions!
