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!!!!
Unique 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?
Our stockroom shelves look a bit like a garden in springtime… there are bright colors and floral patterns all around. Highlighted above are some of our “Chichi” bags: all made of recycled huipiles (hand-woven and embroidered ladies’ blouses) from Chichicastenango, Guatemala. No two are the same!
Flower E-Readers $22 – Made from recycled fabrics from Guatemala
Little Pear – Made from recycled blouses that women wear in Guatemala…and handmade in Guatemala.
Large Huipile Tote – $44 and made from recycled blouses “huipiles”. The neckline of the blouse is where the handles on these bags are.

They come in all different colors and patterns, but all are made from recycled handwoven fabric from Guatemala. Both styles measure 9.5″ x 12.5″ and zip close at the top. All have a surprise pop of colorful lining inside! www.uniquebatik.us
