ShillyShally Posted January 29, 2008 #26 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Last year I saw something called a wrist bracelet on QVC. I think the only place to get it now is from the manufacturer which is Canale Originals. I used it on my last cruise and got a lot of inquiries about it. It held my seapass card, driver's license, and money. At home I use it to run errands around town such as grocery shopping etc. This is what it looks like. What an interesting idea - How was it to wear? I like the idea but am worried it would be irritating although it looks fun and functional! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunCruiser56 Posted January 29, 2008 #27 Share Posted January 29, 2008 You can also find some pretty beaded ones on ebay, just do a search. Bev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerysmom Posted January 29, 2008 #28 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I bought my beaded lanyard on the AOS in the general store. I acutally wore it around my waist instead of my neck. Very cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babysangel Posted January 30, 2008 #31 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I love the idea about the eyeglass chain or even the bracelet purse! Maybe I'll even look into a clip that I can use... but I don't know if I will be always able to hook it somewhere. I think I'll look around in a few stores first to find things close or just like the wrist things so I can see how they feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady_cruiser Posted January 31, 2008 #34 Share Posted January 31, 2008 What an interesting idea - How was it to wear? I like the idea but am worried it would be irritating although it looks fun and functional! :) Actually I forgot I had it on. The beads are worn on the outside so it looks like a bracelet and the wallet is soft against your skin so it isn't irritating at all. I have several in different colors. What is interesting is that store owners in Cozumel usually asks my sister or I if we made them ourselves because they would love to buy them from us.

ayiticherie Posted January 31, 2008 #35 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I am planning to use my retractable as well and also purchase one for my husband and each of the kids (they love playing with my one from work) but I was wondering if the "whole" that they punch in the sea pass card is simple a small round cirlce, or if they can punch the kind that will fit with my retractable, which is about 1/4" to 1/2" rectangle. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience, they have simply used a hand-held hole puncher like you can buy in any office-supply store, which leaves a round hole. Be careful where you put the hole so it doesn't damage the magnetic strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertbelle Posted January 31, 2008 #37 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I have broken two hole punchers, those cards are really thick plastic. I would suggest you buy an heavy duty puncher. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinaB Posted February 3, 2008 #41 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I've been purchasing some beads to try jewelry making. I haven't bought any tools yet. I have some bright colored beads and letter beads. I made a stretch bracelet with "I (heart) cruising" for our last cruise. It would be neat to make a fun daytime lanyard with the name of the ship, group name if there is one, date of cruise, etc in brights. I will have to try that for my next cruise. Of course you'd want a more elegant beading for the evenings. Each one could be color co-ordinated to outfits, which is what every woman wants - along with other things.

Lady Chew Posted February 3, 2008 #42 Share Posted February 3, 2008 and bought one of the beaded lanyards in one of the shops for $8.95. I took off the badge holder and used the clip to hold my glasses. My SIL and her SIL also bought them. MY SIL is a teacher and liked it because she could also attach her keys to it. (and of course we all think they're cute!) I love the idea of wearing it around your waist, but I'd probably need 2 or 3 to make it all 'round!! :p If you don't want to wear a lanyard around your waist you can attach it through belt loops or a button hole.

womanrare Posted February 6, 2008 #43 Share Posted February 6, 2008 If you're like me, I already have too much stuffed into my suitcases! Just go down to the bursar's office (front desk), they'll punch the card for you. I have broken two hole punchers, those cards are really thick plastic. I would suggest you buy an heavy duty puncher. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kceasnick Posted February 7, 2008 #44 Share Posted February 7, 2008 It's not exactly a pretty lanyard, but you can buy fishing license holders at Wal-Mart for $0.75 that attach with a safety pin. Just another option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixie54 Posted February 7, 2008 Author #45 Share Posted February 7, 2008 It was on an end cap by cosmetics. They are beaded and long. They had several different colors of beads to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
