Word of mouth....

I ~♥LOVE♥ ~finding new tutorials to inspire. My manic colour burst at the weekend was because of one. I gave a teaser in the last post.

It was this lovely lady's blog post and link to this lovely lady's blog tutorial which has probably inspired quite a lot of people now! 

Completely addictive and very quick and easy to do. A gorgeous burst of colour  that really brightens up my week!

All you need are some spare bangles (which I seemed to have in abundance. And, if you live near a primark you can get bunches of 10 bangles for £1 which are a perfect size!) and some odds and ends of yarn. 



I think I might need to start streamlining my accessories.


One was made.....

then two......

then three.....

then four......

then I got completely carrried away!

Complete yumminess.....


Ahhhhh, gorgeous colour  to get the ♥ pumping



Like a rainbow

Ahhhhh big smiles on my face right now!

So, just need to back them with some coloured felt and make a little hanging thingy, and voila!

The pics given on both blogs are so so pretty and inspirational. I think I may end up having a few hanging in every room!!!!!!!

Are you inspired? Go on....give it a go!

  4. Yes, I'd seen those and thought they looked great! Yours are so wonderfully colourful - just lovely. I haven't had a go yet as I don't have any spare bangles....BUT, bad mother that I am, I'm planning to spirit away a few of my daughters plastic bangles so that I can make a few...I think they look fantastic as little picture frames.

  15. Hee hee, your post just made me smile because I have spent the past few days doing exactly the same thing. They are great aren't they? Totally addictive. Yours look great.
    I haven't been able to do as many as you because of a lack of bangles. I tried pound shops and charity shops but only got a few. Thanks for the Primark tip, 10 for a £1 is a bargain.

  27. Hi there! You have a beautiful beautiful blog! the photos are so inspiring and lovely; I'm going to add you to my sidebar under places I visit :) I was first attracted to visit because your profile photo (the vintage rose) is exactly the same image I unknowingly used for my blog header! I hope that's ok with you ;)
