Custom order for Tizy

Aren't they lovely?

She sent me this great photo as of course I forgot to take it before I shipped them and even if they have been used and used, they still look great! She chose this combination and it looks so cool despite the fact I had to adjust because they weren't PINK. :-)
Thank you again for challenging me! I love it.

House keys revamp tutorial: 10 mins including a manicure

How many times did you spend time looking for the right key? Well, with this veeeeeery quick tutorial this problem will be long gone.

All you need is paper tape, nail polish (I used KIKO ones than are cheap but have great colours) and 10 mins of your time.

 I recommend to varnish with transparent nail polish at the end for a long lasting effect but it's not necessary at all.

and while you wait for them to dry....you have plenty of time for a manicure to spoil yourself a little bit. Crafty hands can be chic too...( even if covered with craft glue :-) )

I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. (WE because those little hands painting are my son's...so easy that a 6 years old could do it)

Happy Sunday!

Customized Bracelets - so lovely!

Hello,
just a quick post to show you some more bracelets requested by Deby but this is also a chance to make you think about the meaning of working with other people. Well, I've realized that working on a commission based work is so gratifying. Most of the time you learn from them more than creating yourself. In this case, I would have never thought to add so many details to my bracelets and now I love the look. The beauty in this world is that we are all different with ideas, opinion and style. And yes, we are all inspiration to each other.
Thank you for inspiring me so much!

Rubber band bracelets tutorial

Good morning,

I don't know where you live but here in Italy rubber bands bracelets are everywhere. TV ads are marketing them every hour and my son Nicky likes them too. His grandparents gave him some fluorescent rubber bands but he doesn't know what to do with them as they show how to do them using a machine. So here I am, a crafty mummy searching the net to find an easy tutorial to impress her son :-).
Here what I found simply using 2 pencil. Yuppie!

thank you craft & creativity for this great tutorial and a lot more.
Enjoy!
