    I've blogged my Alice in Wonderland makes. I ended up doing a bracelet, pin cushion, tissue holder and an altered duckie (of course)

    I have to say a special thank you to Pink poppy for all your good advice on getting started with bracelet making. I'm so impressed with it and will be making many more as pressies methinks :P

    whoopi - just had a look at your blog.............love the tissue holder..........any chance of instructions ?

    Not done much today except start another button necklace then realise I hadn't got enough thread...............had another attempt at button bracelet - think I need thicker elastic cotton but then I'll need bigger needle and it won't go through holes in the button:( Least not the buttons I'd picked out..........maybe I'll have to have complete re-think;)
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

    Thank you - you and Susan have made my day!! :D I used these instructions. It was SO easy to do and I hand sewed mine as have done something to my sewing machine, I dunno what. Even with hand sewing VERY slowly it only took half hour.

    Susan thank you! :o It again was very easy. Pink Poppy got me started by recommending this site where I got the memory wire bracelets (I bought 10 so am well set up now!), stopper beads for each end of the wire and some of the smaller and great big beads. The rest I got on eBay. It really is a case of just deciding where you want the beads and threading them on. So easy and so effective. The only bit I had trouble with was making the stopper beads stay on so I must admit the superglue came out after much cursing and I did superglue my fingers together at one point! :rotfl:But those stopper beads are never coming off! :rotfl:

    This is stunning! Absolutely gorgeous - may have to have a go at this! Can I ask how you've attached them in the pot?
