This comes up from time to time and I feel like I’ve answered it in one or two of these (see links below). I use the extra bits of string I cut when changing string and the old ones that are being replaced as…string. Just goes in a compartment in the junk drawer and we use it to hang decorations, fix/make stuff for the kids or whatever other uses come up where we’d otherwise be looking for the kite string or something. And to be totally transparent, the compartments in our junk drawer are buried under more junk in said drawer. Organization is a skill I don’t try too hard on.
What does everybody do with all their used string. I hate throwing away string so much I cut it sometimes just to make sure I dont pick it back up and get some gnarly knot Ill spend 30 min digging out. I squirrel away some in my backpacks survival kit but its not much. Does anyone here do anything with their old string?
Like any yoyoer, ive got a wad of used string just sitting around. Are there any cool things i could do with them?
I’d like to have you guys send me you old broken strings. My wife and I will braid or knot them into a friendship bracelets I am willing to ship the completed bracelets to Purple yo-yo for them to give away for a donation at events, promotions or if someone wants to make an online donation.
I’m not asking any money in return. The reason I am doing this can be found in the mental health thread.
I think it’s a great way to give back to the community and be able to get some more use out of your b…
I love using my old string. It seems like a waste to just throw usable strings away, so I make stuff with it.

Made a friendship bracelet from old strings back in the late 90’s. No idea where it is now…
