Crown Bracelet Bar Class

Okay so I had my first "Bar" style class---- no kit I just bring my portable bead shop and you make your piece however you want. I have to say, it worked and with great success! Not only did not one Crown Bracelet come out the same, I saw some new ideas and color combos from these talented ladies. I have another class in September and will also be holding one at Crafted at the Port of Los Angeles, thanks to Jennifer Priest from Hydrangea Hippo. Please contact me at Inmyblueroom if you are interested in attending! Here are the pics. Thank you to Andrea Villareal for being the amazing hostess she always is!

Hey you stole my idea- But you did it first! LOL!

Okay, so we have this little tradition, when we get together to celebrate girlfriends birthdays - the Birthday Girl(s) always bring a little thank you gift. Usually something inexpensive and handmade (you know how WE do it..ha ha ha!) Well since June is my birthday I was wracking my brain as to what I was going to make for the girls, especially keeping in budget- so I went to Dollar Tree, I always find inspiration there! So I found these little resin birds- the colors were not to my liking but I can do something with them! So I bedazzled them with cream paint, crowns and sparkly iridescent glitter. But ALAS I forgot to take a picture of them for my BEFORE shot- So I started googling and low and behold I run across The Dollar Diva blog. She has an amazing blog filled with ideas from Dollar stores so please check it out. While I found a picture of my birdies before- her "after" looked amazingly like mine! Just goes to show you creative people can come up with the same ideas, it's not impossible! But DIVA you did it first! Here is the link to see her little birdies HERE, and here are mine! So glad I stumbled upon her blog-super creative and fun ideas!
