Falkor Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Yesterday i went over to Cookie Monsters to have a bit of a crafty day I made (witht the guidance of CM ) a friendship braclet for my nine year old niece who lives in New Zeland. I am really happy with it I used pink cord plaited with cerise ribbon rather than silver chain as I felt it was more suited to her age. I am currently scouring Ebay for beads etc as I want to make one or seven for myself Cookie made a bracket and keyring, they are SO pretty and she also made them much quicker than i made mine We also cut the fabric for her new cushions.....I wonder if she has sewn them yet **Sorry about size of pic.....working on it!

ubereglu Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Pretty, if you're looking for beads it's always worth trying the local new look in the sale/broken bits-usually with the jewellery as you can get some quite cheap bits and if you cut them up you can use the beads!

Cooks Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 No I am not having that!!!! I didn't do anything to help, this was all Emma's work, I might have just bent a few bars for her, thats it! but I didn't choose, design or plait it, that is all her work and it's wonderful! plastic beads are very cheap Emma, I only use glass myself but if I see some I will point ya in the right direction as always. no the cushions are still sitting here fancy another craft day??

Jules. Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Beautiful bracelet, BTW. I love to wear bracelets, & do so nearly every day. I have loads! I also have a lovely plain 9ct gold bangle which was made for me for my 21st birthday that always draws comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Lyns.......I took a load of pics and that was the best one....I will be reading my camera manual later to see what I am doing wrong as I though 9MP was meant to be good!

Snowy Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 When doing close ups, and to get lots of detail, use the macro setting, don't use flash and use as much daylight as possible Very pretty bracelet - I love dangly bracelets too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
