One of my little projects I got into over the last few months has been making bracelets from little elastic bands. I originally saw these on a YouTube video and really wanted to give it a go. So I looked through Ebay and manged to find some bands quite cheaply, and I was off! I got about 1000 in yellow, red, blue and green and then I got a little addicted and ended up buying a lot more in all different colours.
I got a little addicted to making them...I then realised that we were having a school disco at my youngest's school just before Christmas, and got the OK from the chair to sell my bracelets at them. They went down a storm! I was even taking orders from kids that wanted certain colour combinations. I also bought some little charms from Ebay, which the kids also really liked.
We had another disco last week. this time it was a Valentine's disco, so I ordered some red, pink and white bands from Ebay and some love/heart related charms and I kept making, and making and making.... And this was a little table at the disco :)
The other hearts in the picture were salt dough hearts I had made as a trial, coloured with sharpies and either decorated with stamps, or stuck little foam hearts onto. They went down really well too. But, as you can see from the pictures, I managed to do well selling the bracelets, and I actually sold out of them. And soon after, sold out of the salt dough hearts too! Was a good day for me, and I'm so glad the kids like them.
