Today I am Loving...

... this awesome wrap bracelet found here...
It is bright, colorful, and the elephant is a symbol of good luck!
(however, the $250 price tag is a bit hefty so I am making my own with these beads:)

and this little guy
Isn't it adorable?!

I have been making practice wrap bracelets and
I must say that it is a pretty time consuming project but a lot of fun 
and the end results are worth it. 

Here is the original design by Chan Luu, which are over $200 each:
and here is my bracelet that I made using this tutorial:

It cost about $6 to make and took about 2 hours all said and done...

There are tons of these tutorials flying about Pinterest and many that you can buy on Etsy,
 but I am a DIY sort of gal and love that I can customize my own to fit my teeny wrists.
What do you think about this trend going around?

Love the bracelet! I'm going to have to check out the tutorial when I get the chance. I'm not able to wear things like bangle bracelets or really any other kinds since I have freakishly small elf wrists so I've always been drawn to this type of bracelet.

I have a feeling that my 2 year old will end up with it because she always wants to wear my watch even though I finally got the hummingbird her own. Maybe if I start wearing her butterfly watch, she'll want to start wearing hers instead of mine. ;)

I can't wait to see the first bracelet you're making. The colors are beautiful! I'll be honest, I'm not very crafty, well not crafty at all, but I can't wait to give this a try.
I have very small wrists as well so I love making my own jewelry. I ordered all the supplies for my elephant bracelet from Etsy so by the weekend everything should be here hopefully. Give it a try and let me know how you do!!
