I work in a middle school where we were told that we must wear our identification badges at all times this year. The badges are attached to a lanyard with the school colors and logo, etc. Frankly, this does not go with anything I own. 
So being the casual beader that I am, I made a beaded lanyard for myself. I suggested to others in my school (female, of course) that if they wanted one, I would gladly make them one with their choice of beads.
Well, my little business really took off! I have made probably 10 so far, and it seems like each week I get a new order. It has kept me very busy outside of work and brought in a little extra money.
Here are pictures of some of lanyards I have made. Frankly, the pictures don't do them justice, and in some instances the colors appear wrong, but you can get the general idea:
