Spring snail mails and a little give-away

I love spring. :) So I created little snail mails to send out some spring happiness. To some blogger friends and bloggers I admire!

I prepared 10 spring snail mails. :)

Purple snail mail and doily stamps

Finally I had the time to create a little snail mail for Blanca. I chose the color theme purple, as I know Blanca likes this color. :)



I carved two doily stamps with a simple design. But still a nice way to embellish a gift or a mail. :)




Different papers in the color scheme, flowery sticky notes, a bracelet, washi tape samples and stickers.



Everything wrapped up and ready to be sent out!




I like creating mails with a certain color scheme. In this way the entire mail looks as a whole. ♥

Thank you, Mum!

Working on a purple-colored snail mail, soon to be sent out. A little bracelet I made for it.



Hopefully the weather will be good the next days! Don't forget saying thanks on Sunday, by the way! ♥

Macrame bracelet tutorial

A while ago I made this bracelet. And as promised I finally made a little tutorial for the macrame pattern.

You need an even number of colors, 2 threads each. I used the colors white, yellow, light blue and mint.



I sorted the color in this order: white (2x), light blue (2x), mint (2x) and yellow (2x). This results into yellow-light blue and white-mint rows. Keep that in mind when deciding the order!

You only need two sorts of knots (I unfortunatelly don't know the actual names of the knots):
- 2 right knots in sequence with the same threads...



...make this final "right double knot".



- 2 left knots in sequence with the same threads...



...make this final "left double knot".



So, the bracelet pattern works like this:

1. row: Make 3 right double knots with the first color (white) showing.



Make two left double knots with the 3rd color (mint) showing.



Make 2 right double knots with the first color (white) showing.

So this is the final row:



2. row: Make 2 right double knots with the first color (white) showing. Make two left double knots with the 3rd color (mint) showing. Make 3 right double knots with the first color (white) showing.

Repeat this pattern until the bracelet is as long as you like.
Just add as many colors as you want, but it should be an even number of colors, if its uneven the same color will be side by side.



Pretty easy, right? :D
Wish you all a wonderful week! ♥
