Another DIY we cannot take credit for but was so worth sharing!  Here is a DIY bracelet tutorial that we found posted on Pinterest…but it was originally posted on a cute blog called “Henry Happened.” (http://www.henryhappened.com/diy-braided-t-shirt-bracelets.html).  Click the link to read more!

Not that we are encouraging people to cut up our beautiful hand-dyed BATIK TEES…but they would make some really beautiful bracelets!!!!

This jewelry group features coins from around the world that are no longer in circulation. Artisans hand knot the necklace and bracelet cords with a durable waxy thread, and the earrings come with a card to explain the coins’ country and year of issue. Wear as a happy reminder of adventures-past or adventures-to-come!

burkina bangleUnique Batik sells Burkina Bangles that are crafted in Ghana from grass reeds and recycled plastic cord. Lightweight and cheery, they look great in a stack on your arm.

The image at the top is from the Unique Batik wholesale website. It shows a suggested retail price of $5 for one Burkina Bangle. The bottom image from a major online retailer shows the same bangle for $48.

Striking difference? Yes. Does it matter? Maybe not. What do you think?
