I'm Late! I'm late! For a very important date...

Well I will be if I don't get a wriggle on. The NCT group are meeting at the Wacky Warehouse soft play at 10:00 and I'm not even dressed yet!

I just couldn't wait to share with you a couple of accessories I made yesterday evening.

I've been loving the "Alice" inspired clothing and jewellery that's around at the moment but they all seem to come with a shocking price tag.

I decided to have a rummage through my craft box and see what I could come up with.

The buttons, lace and the blue, green and gold cord are Hobbycraft and were pretty cheap. The beads have been in my box for years. The tiny beads are threaded on elastic so the bracelet can just be stretched on and off.

Second up is a rework of a bracelet that I bought as part of a bundle in Topshop for £1. I love the antiquey gold colour of the beads but it was too big for my wrist and kept falling off. I tied sellotape around one end of the ribbon so it was easy to thread and put all of the beads on. I tied a knot in the middle of the ribbon and then knotted in between each bead. I tied the two ends together and used a lace bow to cover the join, the ribbon was folded over the centre of the bow and then stitched in place. Ribbon and lace both Hobbycraft.

I'm really thrilled with both pieces and can't wait to wear them.

What do you have lurking in your craft box?
