Daisy chain bracelet. Happy Birthday Unikko!

As a kid growing up in England, I spent a lot of time on the side of the rounders field making daisy chains. So meditative! Carefully splitting the stem of one daisy with a fingernail, and pushing the stem of another through until we had endless pretty chains of tiny white flowers. 

This sewing project shouldn't take you much longer to do. But if you're really in a hurry, I had a couple of teenagers who used a hot glue gun this morning and the results were just as lovely!

Did you know that Marimekko has just celebrated the 50th anniversary of their iconic design Unikko? So this little daisy is tiny nod to that too! Happy Birthday Unikko!

Put a Spring in your step!

We made these cute shoes in a matter of minutes. Acrylic paint is widely available, inexpensive and very quick drying. If you like your craft projects quick, easy and pretty, then this is for you!

We've done a little daisy chain but you could do any design. Maybe a chevron design on a teenagers canvas slip-ons or some skulls?
