Craft 52 week 11: Hex Bracelet

Craft 52

week 11

Hex Bracelet

My friends and I whipped these up in the mountains this weekend.  I love a group craft.  One person might be lacking in skills and another masters it and will lend a hand.  These are pretty easy to make and I can't wait to make some more with leather instead of rope.  Here is the tutorial, and some tips.

The supplies.  Rope and brace nuts.

Hex wrap bracelet on my wrist. 

Here's all our creations!

Craft Lab: peace and butterflies

Everything is coming up butterflies around here. I had saved a couple of cabinet doors from this. Here's the run down:

• Sand board
• Paint board
• Cut out alot of butterflies in different colored paper with a paper punch
• Trace a circle on board with pencil
• Place butterflies around the circle, add the rest of peace sign, then glue butterflies on with Mod Podge
• After about 20 minutes, add a layer of Mod Podge all over the board
• Let it dry, and add another layer of Mod Podge
  

Down and out Chic before and after

I just wanted to give a shout out to one of my favorite bloggers Down and out Chic. Today, she posted this lovely before and after she just finished. Isn't it great? I'm amazed at what at little

paint and fabric and glue can do to an old piece of furniture. Check out more photos of this project right here.
