Trash to treasure

I need more stuff as much as I need a hole in my head but I keep on adding to my stashes anyway. This entangled pile of stuff was purchased at the local thrift shop and looked like a pile of rubbish,

but look at all the hidden treasures uncovered by careful use of scissors and a little patience; neatly sorted for upcoming Make a Boob workshops
and with a few beads too large and heavy for embellishment. I do love glass beads though, so into the bead stash they go...
