Embroidery Floss or Cotton Crochet Thread

So I have been searching the net and found these really cool looking peruvian bracelets like below:

and it looks waaaaaaaaaaaay better than mine (because I use yarn).


Therefore I am heading out today to try out the embroidery floss first (not sure where I can get the cotton crochet thread and if its more expensive...) and will redo or try out newer patterns with it... If it does work better (which I think it will) I might have to start charging peruvian bracelets at $3 each... Hmmm. Anyway, if it does give out better results, why not?

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! 

God bless (=

Packaging!

Yes, even though it's not a business as such... I still would like to pass to "customers" their bracelets in a professional way. Instead of hand to hand or in a cheap looking plastic kind... Presentation. Is the key. LOL. (Currently recollecting what my MGM lecturer taught us...)

Anyway, here are the pictures.

I found some rainbow coloured popsicle sticks from this 80cent store or something of the sorts. I bought it thinking it would be a nice and different way to put my bracelets on...


Bought this plastic bag from somewhere else and it really appealed to me not only because of the colour, but it had butterflies on it! OK call me lame. But that right there, screams HANCPD. LOL


So this is how one sleeve? Sheet? of plastic looks like. The printed words were quite lame, but I was willing to over look that for the design. It says "Welcome, Thank You." Goes to show I'm polite as well?


So this is how I presented my bracelets. I would wrap them around the popsicle stick according to colour  like shown below and...


Behind I have written down this blogsite and email would be readily located at my profile details (=


This is just to show you how it all would look like when I put the bracelet in. The effect is quite nice actually. Note, one bag per customer. So those below, are for two separate people (= In case you all think I waste resources or something...


Tadah! With the string ribbon to tie it all up. Again, colour coded. For now. Though I might think of changing it by randomizing the colours I would use for the future strings

Wore It


Today.

I like the colour combo (= Makes me feel happy whenever I look at it. Don't mind the expression though! Wanted to "show off" the bracelets and not my horrible teeth =E

LOL

Not just bracelets~

So!

I've had ppl come and ask me, and yes. I can make the bracelets into necklaces... And into anklets as well. I can also accommodate special colour changes to the samples I've posted or add in more colours that I don't already have. Like brown/earth tones, sea greens... Whatever else there is (=

Looking forward to Christmas this year! I haven't been excited for Christmas for the past few years... I just feel like it's gonna be great this year!

Merry Christmas everyone! God bless you all =D
