I have found that the way to feel good about my ombre hair is to dress in the right colours. I think green is one of them.

Also, let me use this opportunity to show some bracelets that I have made many months ago but haven't got around to blogging. Ok, I will write a post on the full range of bracelets I've made... soooooon.

DIY: Friendship Bracelet

I'm sorry that I haven't been posting a lot for the past few weeks. It's officially the summer break but I'm still on a clinical placement for Uni. There's this dress that I made which needs a little alteration and another dress that I made which was destroyed in the washing machine. I shall tell these stories about my 2 dresses another time. Oh, and there's this shawl/scarf thing that I knitted for my friend which has yet to reach Germany!!! Oh bugger. So right now, I'll just show you guys this really simple friendship bracelet that I made a while ago...


This is really really simple and everyone can make it! I made this using a pack of $1 embroidery threads and a silver bracelet that I never wore. 


I didn't take pictures of the steps to tying the embroidery threads because you can easily find really good tutorials on the Internet. What I thought was more important for me to show was how to start and  finish the bracelet. So.... here it goes!

Starting

Finishing

All right, that's all for now! I'm going to work on my dresses!! xx

EDIT: Yikes... I think I forgot to mention that I used some fabric glue at the ends before cutting the strings. The fabric glue prevents the strings from becoming loose after cutting!!

I posted this link on my Tumblr craft blog and people are crazy over it. So I thought maybe I should put it here too. You can actually make this friendship bracelet look-alike using various different materials like fabric scraps, leather strands and even ... embroidery threads?


I'm totally gonna try this sometime. 


What about you?

From the streets of Bangkok - 6

This is the last post of the series, "From the streets of Bangkok"! It's been great sharing all these neat stuff that I saw during my trip to Bangkok earlier this year. I hope all of you have been inspired! (^_^)

I think this is easy to make! 

Step 1: Just grab one of your fabric belts and sew the sides together, with the right side facing each other. 

Step 2: Then turn it inside out so that the right side of the fabric is facing you.

Step 3: Tie a knot at one end, leaving a short length of tail (as see at the back of the necklace in the picture).

Step 4: Alternate between putting a wooden bead into the sewn fabric and threading the fabric through the wooden bead.

Step 5: Continue until you are satisfied with the length, then tie a knot again!

Step 6: Don't forget to finish off by sewing the two open ends of the fabric strip for a neat finish!

She's so lucky, she's a star

Everyone stand up and do a cheer! FINALLY!!! My very own lucky charm bracelet with charms made from Shrinky Dinks and others sweet trinkets that I have collected over the years.

I've made this almost immediately after I took those shrink plastics out of the oven the other day, but have only got the chance to blog about it now.

You have no idea how much I ADORE this new lucky charm bracelet of mine. (^_^)
