About
make your own wooden bracelet with lovely colours!
I really like wooden bracelets, especially when hand painted, but most of the time they are very expensive, so I decided to make them myself! It's very easy, the only difficult part can be drilling the holes (because the pins are very thin)
good luck!

another great idea is to make your own stamps (you can use an eraser or a potatoe, cut out a shape you like and use the stamp to design the bracelet) -
