Wrap Bracelets ADDICTIVE!

Ok so by now you have probably noticed i have a slight addictive personality.

I am totally and completely addicted to making wrap bracelets inspired by the Chan luu bracelets!

They are relatively easy to make and just look totally B-E-A-U-tiful lol.

Here are a few i have made so far......

This is the 1st one i made with thicker cord on the outside and contrasting thread

This one and the one below are made with the same colour thread to the cord and slightly thinner cord


Simple button fastenings

sorry this picture quality sucks a little

I need more beads and thread so i can crack on making more i love them!

Also i am not sure if i like the thicker or thinner cord bracelets best what are your thoughts???

Thanks

Katie

Trip to the charity shop

Well i thought i better get my room underway with me having a day off work. I didn't get far lol but i am pretty happy with what i got done today =) With me being so skint i wanted to keep everything as cheap as possible. Also with my LOVE for my jewellery i wanted to display it in a cool way even though i haven't even got it all at this new house yet. So i set that as my challenge today. So i decided to hit the charity shop to see what i could find. I found these.....


I remembered being on a craft website and reading a tutorial on how to make a vinyl record into a earring holder. So because i am easily excitable i got excited and each record was only 50p!!!! Bloody BARGAIN or what! Mind i had to sift through until i found ones with pretty coloured middles. Now i know this could probably upset people who love and collect them but i have never heard of the people i bought so i figured they would let me off =)

Here are the two finished products ....
I used the smaller one for my stud earring cant wait to get them all from mother ducks house to fill it up.

The bigger is going to be used for my dangly earrings
I am pretty excited to get all my jewellery up here so i can put them in =D (See i did say easily excitable hehe) Yeah so i made these and then i got kindly given this mirror too to go with the whole dressing table style corner =)
So slowly but surely it is coming together nicely i just now need to think of ideas to show off my rings, bracelets and necklaces hehe so any welcome =)

Anyhoo this was just a quickly so i could share my excitedness with yous lol.

Moving House

Ok so I'm thinking i may suck a little at this whole blogging thing hehe...Hopefully i will get better SOON for the benefit for anyone who stumbles across my page haha.

Right well i have moved house and its quite a nice little house that i am sharing with 4 of my friends which is lush I'm in a little predicament on how to decorate my room though because it is a attic room its a little bit bizarre shape so am pretty stuck. I'm thinking maybe black and white with random colouring through out...i just seem to have a hell of a lot of white wall at the moment and don't really want to keep it this way! Yet i don't think we are allowed to paint the walls so? hmmmmm lol

ANY ideas will be totally welcome as i seem to be having such a creative block at the moment its unreal eeeeekkk!

Here is some pics of the room =D

I have some space behind my door too and was maybe thinking of getting some small rectangular black photo frames and putting my favourite pictures in and placing them to make a heart shape =)?

I am going to get rid of this mirror and get a big black one so its effectively looks like a dressing table. Also may chuck the tv lol and use my laptop.

This cupboard is my wardrobe but i was maybe thinking of putting a few small black shelves down beside my bed

I have no idea what to do on this slanted wall and beam?


 Sorry about all of the random stuff placed but i still have a lot of stuff in bin bags etc because i have no idea  where to put stuff i want the design of the room sorted before i start properly unpacking lol. With me being a bit of a perfectionist with the way stuff looks it could take me a while haha. I just need some INSPIRATION lol gah.
