Miss Pretty Thing's Birthday!

So today is the wonderful birthday of Michelle from Pretty Things blog, she is a very good friend of mine and we met whilst working together in Soho way back in 2008

For her birthday as I haven't got much money I thought I would be creative,
I saw this amazing tutorial on how to make these awesome bracelets on HonestlyWTF website and gave it a go! I was in Brighton this weekend for a birthday party so attempted to make these in the car on the way down, made it that little bit more exciting and fiddly. But, I think they came out well and am definitely going to try making more in the future.

I found this little jar in Velvet and thought buttons would look perfect sitting inside, and Michelle would be the girl who would appreciate it them the most. So that I did, she seemed to like!

also drew this card to go with the homemade presents

let me know what you think!

  1. Aww... I know it is a cliché but I really do think that effort and enthusiasm is more important than money when it comes to gifts. These are lovely.
