Red Hot Ornament Thursday


Trendy, popular - red hot! Wrapped bracelets are hot on the craft scene and I'm hot off of Color Week so using tutorials from the internet, I've combined the two into this Punk Skully Kid Bangle Bracelet. Instead of using an actual Skully Kid, I created a flat version in Shrink plastic and attached it to the bangle using black safety pins for true Punk style. It's just perfect for The Teens who hang out at my house.



So as Emily the Strange would say, "Get lost!" and go see what the other Ornament Thursday Grllzzz are up to!

This is really fun. I see a lot of kids who would totally want to wear this!

Yes, the safety pins are so punk! I used to use them to pin things onto my semi-punk jean jacket :)

Cindy Gimbrone said...

Thanks, Alexa. Made with The Teens in mind I'm sure they'll argue over who gets to wear it - LOL!

Hi Katie,

Yeah, nothing like a safety pin to punk things up, huh? I love the different colors they come in now, have you seen them? Opens up alot of design possibilities.

Happy Ornament Thursday!

Very cool...My daughter likes it too! She's into school colors things so there's another way you could go with it...subtle school spirit!

Hi Lisa,

Yes, there are alot of ways you could go with the bracelet - school colors, preppy, funky, etc. That's what is so great about the design, it's flexible. Glad your daughter liked it - it's designed for the teen crowd! :-)

Happy Ornament Thursday!

I love this!! I especially love your use of the shrink plastic.

Cindy Gimbrone said...

Thanks, Melissa. I thought if painters do glicee prints of their work, why can't I do shrink plastic? Make a print of my beads into a wearable print. It works but isn't always less work LOL!
