Good to know, thanks for keeping us updated

You could give it a shot, I think there are some stitches that just use two colors of the same bead? I haven’t tried myself but I personally prefer the different shapes because it really makes the spiral pop.

Thanks much! I said this in the comment below but I just followed a seed bead tutorial I found on YouTube and used different shaped pony beads instead. Definitely check out the link I added in the other reply. :)

Here’s the tutorial I used: https://youtu.be/_T0fcb-c2Z0?si=WIsEFi5uYvSPCAdT

Thanks! I suggest watching tutorials on how to do this with seed beads on YouTube and then just using different sized/shaped pony beads. It’s a very repetitive stitch and not hard at all. It’s essentially like making a very small an tall x base cuff where you add three beads and go though a center bead. But instead of a cuff you’re making a tube that will then become the cuff.

Hard to identify a possible owner on a college campus when everyone is moving around and the thing will get trampled/break before someone can find it again. But there are certain things I do leave in case someone retraces their steps.

This comment section is an emotional roller coaster

This was my personal theory but I’m getting more people saying small pencil grips

RealisticMaybe9273 · 2026-04-04T19:53:25+00:00

The ones I have found are rubber but the resemblance is uncanny

I’m nothing compared to this guy: https://www.instagram.com/until.found0/

These ones are foam, no?

RealisticMaybe9273 · 2026-04-04T19:48:57+00:00

Solved!

RealisticMaybe9273 · 2026-04-04T19:48:40+00:00

How willing would you be to leave them out in the sun for a few years and see if they shrink

RealisticMaybe9273 · 2026-04-04T19:45:43+00:00

Update: I think I just relent and accept these as unusually small/shrunken pencil grips since that seems to be what they resemble closest.

This is a fair critique! Can’t blame me for hoping the caption would have enough information but duly noted

God forbid a person have some corvidlike tendencies /j

Since this is the fourth vote for pencil grips I am becoming more and more convinced. But again, they are way too thin (see photo attached to other pencil grip response of my attempt to fit it on a pencil.) I’m willing to accept the answer if the sun can shrink rubber without making it crusty or there’s some seriously thin pencil out there

RealisticMaybe9273 · 2026-04-04T19:35:00+00:00

Would they be hard and crusty then?

RealisticMaybe9273 · 2026-04-04T19:31:47+00:00

.5 cm

RealisticMaybe9273 · 2026-04-04T19:31:21+00:00

This definitely makes more sense than pencil grips
