I just love getting things in the mail, don't you?! I mean real, fun things {not bills}. Letters, postcards, and best of all...presents! Which is why I jumped at the chance to be a part of a friendship bracelet swap organized by Tia over at Sew Cal Mama.
I was matched up with a gal named Shannon, who told me that her favorite colors are fall colors and pink, and that she prefers chunky style jewelry.
So, I took Little Crafter to Michaels with me and we chose a strand of really fun pink beads that varied in shape, size, and shade. All I did was string them on a piece of elastic and tie it off {tightly!}. That's the entire tutorial...really. It was super duper easy to make; no tools or jewelry-making skills required. Anyone can do it! I absolutely looooove it...so, Shannon, if it's not your thing, feel free to mail it back!
Otherwise, we're off to Michaels to buy another strand of beads...Mama needs herself a pink bracelet too!
Meanwhile, it got me to thinking, would any of you all be interested in some kind of a swap organized here at One Artsy Mama? Maybe holiday ornaments? Or we could do bracelets too? Leave a comment and let me know what you think!
Happy Crafting!
Ornament swaps are fun. A bracelet swap would be fun, too. I'd be game for either one or something entirely different, too.
ReplyDeleteI think either of those would be fun....love ornaments, love bracelets.....a fun gift swap I did at a job once was a sock swap---of course that's not something I could make, but it sure was fun to get a pair of goofy socks and a pair of regular ole socks. :) This is coming from a sock-a-holic though.

ReplyDeleteSounds like fun...love the pink one you made...
ReplyDeleteI love that idea! Especially an ornament swap!
ReplyDeleteI suggest a bracelet swap first to see how it goes. Then, if it works for you, you could do an ornament swap in November for example. Sounds like a lot of fun. I would participate.
ReplyDeleteTotally fun
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of either, as both sound like a lot of FUN!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I would love to join in on either a bracelet or ornament swap! Sounds really fun!
