I just haven't been feelin' crafty. But I saw something about the Shashi bracelets, along with the simple, woven/beaded look of these bracelets, I thought, "I could make that..."
We'll see how it goes. I've not done much jewelrymaking in a long time and I'm not sure I've done bracelets anytime recently. I'm excited! Why spend $20 on something you could make?
I had some time this afternoon and worked on my Altoid tin a little. I'm pretty satisfied with how it's coming along so far. I'm working off the premise that my partner loves fairies. It's going to be whimsical and somehow love-y too. Lots of pink as you can tell!!
Inside the tin. I made little glitter letters that say, "believe". That is what's running diagonal. Those two magnets are a purple beaded heart and a red LOVE. The bottom of the tin has paper and some die cuts and fabric stuff. There's a ton more to go in the tin.
The outside. It's a Pan's Labyrinth-esque tree. It says, "believe in fairies" and there is a bunch of beaded stuff, grass, a purple flower/balloon, button fruits on the tree, etc etc. There's ribbon along the edge. I'm pretty proud that I thought to cut the ribbon shorter in height so that the tin will still close with ease. I'm going to draw a fairy of some sort on the tin somewhere.
Also! I received two bookmarks so far! One has a giraffe and birds (love both of those) and the other has all sweets with a pastel plaid background. The one on the bottom is a Blackberry inspired Dilbert comic from quite awhile ago that I made with packing tape and lots of love!
