What’s In My Shopping Bag Today …

I am really cutting down on my craft spending this year, but while out shopping yesterday couldn’t resist these Primark bracelets - £2 each, made up of 8 large rose beads.

I am thinking of using them as single embellishments on boxes and bags for Mother’s Day.

And this is for me, I have lot of ideas, but I’m not sure what to try. I wonder how it would cover with Decopatch …… or if I could stamp on it, or just ink it …… then whatever I do, I   am planning on covering it with several layers of Utee.  I may even have a gem that will fit the eye ….. hmmmmmmm!

    I love PRIMARK for embellishments - I always scour their reduced broken jewellery bit -and pick up right gems for just 50p or a £1 - they had some great key things at new year - with 5 keys and a rose on them for £1 - I scooped up a load! Love your idea for the swallow and you have got me thinking.... cheers Cx

    I bought those bracelets too! Am thinking of covering a cheap frame or mirror with the roses for a vintage look x

    I too have a box full of jewellery (mostly reduced items from Matalan), I really must try to use some of them up. Love the bird, if I were you I'd go back and get a few more!

    Oooooo.. I love those bracelets!! Can't wait for our Primark to open, only 20mins up the road, whereas at the moment our nearest is 1hr15 away and we don't go very often!
    Look forward to see what you create with your new goodies.

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
