How to Turn your Reptile's Shed Skin into Jewelry!

[@SnakeDiscovery]

Please excuse my gross index finger 😭 It's still healing from the poison ivy I encountered over the summer... Edit to add: Thanks for the interest in buying these, guys! Sadly, due to my hectic schedule, I no longer sell these online. They're only available at local reptile shows. That's why I made this video- so now you can make one of your own! ❤ Maybe we can sell them again in the future :)

[@lunaithink]

Oh that sucks :/

[@avery6691]

Rest in peace finger

[@madlass2.012]

Hope you're finger feels better

[@Lilly_watermelonsugar]

Didnt notice any grossness dear

[@chaoschaos5085]

I thought it was just skin coming off Edit: Maybe you can make some necklaces, bracelets,ECT with this on patreon, Twitter, ECT for some subscribers! Edit two:for some reason I'm thinking of a app/game to where you can design your own necklace, bracelet,ECT with shed skin on the as the design of pendant :/

I don’t understand the people acting soooo weirded out by this. How is this any different than wearing cow leather or snake skin boots? Other than you actually can’t touch the skin because it’s behind glass...and no animals are killed.😂 This is about as gross as a preserved flower in a glass paperweight.

I just lost my 16-year-old corn snake last month. I'd had him since he was a baby, and it never occurred to me that I might want to save his shed for some reason. This is such a cool idea, and I wish I'd known about it sooner. Thank you for this lovely video.

[@shilobrocklesby4346]

Got all the stuff! Making bookmarks with my iguana's skin tonight! Edit: A couple tips I found while making these...pick out larger scales vs small scales as they show the colored paper better. Also, rub a thin coat of the glaze on the skin before you cut it. It stiffens it a bit and makes it much easier to cut, otherwise it rips pretty easily! It also adds a nice shine to it before you put it in the cabochon! One more tip, my iguana's skin (other reptiles might be different) required a precision sharpie when marking on it, a pencil just wasn't working. Have fun to those who are trying this!

[@mclonernolife]

Im pleasantly surprised to find this comment, it's very helpful!

[@lcoq19]

Wait...ik this is an old comment, but what did you mark on it?

[@suran396]

Thank-you!!! How did you manage to let the glaze on the skin dry without gluing it to some surface? Or did you glaze a larger piece directly on the paper and then cut them as one entitly?

Some things I can suggest: -use a scalpel to cut the shed (and possibly also the paper) to shape, it's easier to be more precise. -you can paint the background paper with acrylic paints or iridescent nail polish or use a colourful cut-out from a magazine or something to create backgrounds that are shiny, have colour gradients or cool patterns.

Me: “This looks so cool! I want one!” Also me: *doesnt own a snake* Still me: *goes outside and starts looking for snake skin*

[@copper3184]

I got hecka lucky cause I found some black racer shed a week after finding this video.

[@lesbitch]

@@copper3184 oh niiiiiiiiice

[@AuthorR271]

Where can u find this is at the village xD

[@normalhuman9878]

You never know, you might get lucky I went camping and found a snake that was actively shedding so I collected the shed afterward

[@mbtt7420]

Me: Yes! My lizards shedding! I can't wait to make this! Also me: Realizes I have a leopard gecko:shoot

[@khloecarver]

Any reptile is eligible (:

[@Cami-ux9he]

K C leopard geckos eat their shed. I have a leopard gecko but I can’t get her shed because she eats it.

[@evalucia9192]

I was thinking of this with my beardie but he sheds in tiny pieces so that would be one small pendent lol

[@sparklepupfaeri7069]

Theres been once or twice my leo gecko didnt eat a bit. You gotta watch and YOINK while its not looking!

[@charlotteharris6951]

I came to the comments because my boyfriends sister has a gecko and thought she'd get a kick out of this video but now I'm sad knowing geckos eat their skin. Shoot.

[@allisonbarry720]

Just a little heads up. The o rings are also called jump rings. That said... Omgosh this is an amazing idea

[@thejollydwarf2275]

I can’t wait to have my own reptile!! I think I’ll cry when I finally get one. I’ve only been a snake lover for 4 years after having a High school teacher who loved to catch wild snakes for lessons. He had caught a baby rat snake named Bubbles and it somehow ended up in the art room where I was. Despite my fear I held it and immediately fell in love. (I realize now that the snake likely shouldn’t have been taken around the school so much but kids were irresponsible when they kidnapped it from the teachers room.) since then I’ve been doing research on snakes, Beardie, and so much more! Hopefully I’ll be financially stable enough after college so that I can own one.

[@shadowgoldador7461]

Me: **getting exited when she says snails** Emily: No we dont need snails.... >:) Me: **cries holding my pet snails**

[@mastergatcha3121]

Piggy Player 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@raazberri3636]

Emily: you can buy all these things in your local craft store Me: sooooo I can buy snake shed in my local craft store?

[@hypnotherapy69]

if you don't have a reptile you can alwas ask in a fb group or forum for reptiles if someone can send you some shed; maby for shipping cost or a small sum of money (I did this in a group for bird owners when I needed parrot feathers for a diy project; the lady who sent it to me was super nice and sent me like a whole parrot worth of feathers,I asked for 10 haha XD)

[@Stop_Infanticide]

I have TONS of sheds I don't use... so yeah find a local reptile group on fb... I would give them to you if you were local lol

[@geraldinelewis8314]

Nah. Gotta go to the pet store or nature for that

[@Aquarimax]

I usually feed my snake sheds to the thousands of isopods I keep. They chow down....but now they are going to have to leave me some to make some cool jewelry!

[@FangirlKatydid]

Aquarimax Pets you could make your pendants and then give them the parts you cut off! Perfect recycling

[@hannahwhite7227]

I’ve been watching your channel for a while, and I never knew you made jewelry. How cool! Great work Emily! I personally don’t wear jewelry, but another great way to keep reptile shed is to buy glass jars with a lid (either from your local dollar store or a craft store) and keep it in that. Looks really good as a display piece in any room.

[@rancorsden470]

Darn it, I was gonna sleep for once but I guess I’ll just watch this even though I don’t own a reptile.

[@everythingunleashed679]

Same my dude....same❤

[@giabarrone7422]

I don't even know how I found this channel, but now it is on my regular rotation. Don't own a reptile and never will. Emily is just an amazing human with a gift for sharing her passion.

[@blackmidgy43]

Your not the only one without a reptile.

[@chloeellis1246]

I’m 100% gonna make one of these for my friend who had to rehome their snake to me, that’s awesome! I’ve ordered all the things for it!

[@thebarbieverse5541]

Me:how do I make that? Her: you need a snake Me: oh I bought a fish

[@lizzmeows]

I have a cheese grater for you 🤗😥🙄

[@tagreedibrahim9978]

Goldfish is best

[@semak4206]

Reptile

[@laurelh1975]

My snake had his first shed with me today, and it came off very nicely! Got a really good head piece too, so I am definitely going to be trying this out! Thanks for such a clear, easy-to-understand tutorial for how to make these :)

[@daretheclaw]

I'm DEFINITELY trying this once my corn starts having bigger sheds!

[@RINGOTHEMAN]

tried doing this today! made two bracelets and a set of earrings. super fun, super simple, super cute and cool!! I've never had an impulse to buy construction paper before this, lol. highly recommended!

[@riodavie]

That O ring we call a jump ring in the UK also love this idea and going to see if I can get some scales from the local pet store so I can make these as I do a necklace stall and these are awesome!

[@mrfishman2u]

That's so creative. When I first started keeping reptiles I kept all the sheds. Now, they get tossed, though I always feel kinda guilty doing it. So now I Have a great way to recycle the sheds. Thanks!

[@kskollections2142]

That is so totally cool! I am not a reptile person but I love the pendants!

[@taylorn2574]

No one: Me: *doesn’t own a reptile* going herping in the creek that’s only an inch deep in my neighborhood to steel some snakes skin

[@killerred31]

Taylor N shed*

[@kailynnhowington1873]

Steal* but same tho

[@tenyaiida7721]

don't be suspicious don't be suspicious

[@lumbagle9836]

ewww

[@lumbagle9836]

I don’t even like touching my snakes skin

[@abbeytech4146]

This makes me wonder what a pendant with a scaleless snake shed would look like

[@svetlanaherhorses6526]

After watching this I decided to make a set of snake shed jewelry for my lovely environmental science teacher with my corn snake's old shed! Thank you for sharing!

[@Taylor-kd9ld]

Wait wait She has several different sheds on hand within a second So... Does she just have like a box of sheds?

[@lilg0thy482]

i think so, because in her tutorial on how to brumate snakes, she said afterwards in the mating season, she uses the snake sheds to help the males show breeding behaviour, because they think that the shed is another male

[@sprklyhanse5729]

probably,, they use sheds in bioactive enclosures

[@olivegreenstorm8988]

In one of her recent videos, I saw a pile of sheds under the false chameleon table

[@paularobles5441]

"you can find most of the supplies at your local craft store" Me arriving at Michael's: where do you keep the snake bits?

[@chivixta]

“I don’t exactly know if this is a corn snake shed..” “Waiteaiteaitwait,, you had that shed for so long you don’t even remember?” ------------- *brings up a pendant with head shed* “OWAHOWHAMSGSMVDWOAHWOAHSNSNJSBSKDG” ------------- “Just take a paperclip!” “That’s a binder clip.”

[@anon1955]

I watched this video a long time ago and I’m making necklaces for all my friends! I’ve got two done so far! They all love them

[@reensthedragonrider]

ah my heart when you said the necklace you were wearing was made with Janet's shed just aaaaa u.u rip Janet you were a good licky boy

[@fading3chos648]

One of my friends gave me their dead snakes shed, so I followed this tutorial to make a pendant. Thank you! 😊

[@liamtuneblom7123]

That is the first I’ve heard of anything like that. Super cool.

[@ScarlettWitch82]

Thank you for this! New corn snake mom (and new reptile keeper in general) here and of course I want to preserve every special moment with my little guy. I put the first (and perfect!) shed he had under my care into a shadow box and I look forward to future sheds to make these! I appreciate the simple and easy to follow instructions ❤
