Bangles

I am in this wood painting phase right now. I showed you some picts of my wooden dolls I painted in my previous post and now I will share with you a set of wooden bangles.

It was fun to paint and afterwards I sprayed them with a glossy sealant to make them somewhat waterproof.

I love crafts like this because they are easy and fun, but most of all can make great personalized gifts for friends and family. I have seen where people use pretty scrapbook paper and decoupage little bits of  the paper and printed out words onto these. You could even use wood stain for a more earthy natural look.

I bought these bangles at Hobby Lobby but I have seen them at all the craft stores. They also make plain wooden beads and different size/shape bangles. I think I might try a necklace next with chunky wooden painted beads.

Get your craft on! :)
