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!

ReplyDeletePS. Hello, hope you're well!! :-)
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.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful, I saw these the other day and now have been ever so much more inspired by your beauties you have made xox Ta for sharing all those glorious photos!
ReplyDeleteWow! They really are amazingly gorgeous! Really wish I could crochet!

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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
