DIY Rag Bracelets


All you need are scraps of cloth and know how to braid/plait. You can vary the thickness, mix colours or do it in one colour.
Watch my short video how to:






The possibilities are endless.. you can use the same process to make belts, headbands.. etc :)

---------------

On a side note... I just realised.. I've been a full time blogger for 2 years now! :)
I really wasn't 100% sure when I resigned from my previous career whether I would be able to make this blogging thing work. But I am doing well... and my life has been mostly fabulous the past 2 years. Absolutely no regrets.

For new readers who don't know... I used to be a Seconday School English teacher. About my life choice and resignation here.

And read about my last day of the last school term for me... Good Golly, Miss Holly.
I do miss standing in my classroom and getting excited with my brood of 40... but I hope that I still inspire and teach them about life through my blog now, instead of from behind the textbook. *hugs*

and if you're young, love animation and have a story to tell, there's an N.E.Mation contest going on where you can win a trip to Dreamworks in USA ( see banner on top for more details).

  7. @ anon 11.49- thnx (mostly nails me thinks!)

    @anon1.21- stifling. attire. Not just in school but outside as well, in your personal day to day life. tattoos are bad. coloured tights under your (knee length) skirt is a no-no too... i was told one day tht it was too "trendy".. I mean not as if I was wearing a mini skirt... I am a reasonable person.

    then there's no real holidays.. always got all sorts of camp and duties during the hols. And if ur single.. even better, u get all the over night camp duties... and weekends too if ur lucky to be in charge of a uniform grp like I was... because single ppl are thought to have no life i guess.

    If ur efficient and finish tasks/ responsibilities fast and well.. then even better u get the honours of doing other people's tasks too.. while they get paid higher cos they been there longer.

    :) which is all good if u want to be married to ur job and you like the bragging rights of managing a large portfolio in school .. but for me, my life comes first.

  8. @anon3.17- thanks!

    @anon 8.32 - yeah cos hlaf way through while recording, people started to appear.. and they didnt know i was recording as I am just sitting there not talkin and doing my bracelets. So I was lookin to see if they almost gonna walk into the "scene" as some idiots like to walk between the coffee table and sofa even when I am seated there.


    No didn't tattoo or ebroider my eyebrows- but am using a "line color" (looks like eyeshadow but its darrrk brown) from ettusais.. instead of the eyebrow pencil like in the past.


    @yours truly-thanks!! :)

    @wondergirl- thanks! I feel healthier than before too.
    The cheap shorts i got from Target (aust).
