escape to ⟡ magical unicorn land ⟡



In the land of lore and lollipops lives two tiny unicorns; high above in the atmosphere, sprinkled with delicate sparkles and bright marshmallow white clouds, in a faraway place only the mystic are privy to. Gilded with the glitziest of Swarovski crystals and embellished with the swirliest of spiraled wire, these magical creatures are quite shy. Their pearlesque horn holds their magic, and they spend their days frolicking in cotton candy skies.

Unicorns made with 16g wire (from Cousin Corporation) and Swarovski crystals. 28g silver wire was used to attach swirls and beads to the wire frame. Of course, I just had to make a black one to offset that strawberry pink sweetness. Unicorns can be edgy too, no?

Easy Bangle Bracelets


This is just a quick post. After my Rainbowlicious Hoops post, I thought about what else I could cover with embroidery floss (I have a huge bag of it in my room!). Using the same technique, I made a bright bangle set, which turned out great!
If you want to make your own, just head over to my Rainbowlicious Earrings post. The technique is just the same, however there are some slight changes:
*For your wire core, use really thick wire (I got this at the hardware store). *Obviously, make your hoop large enough to fit over your wrist comfortably.
If you want to add beads, just string them on your floss BEFORE wrapping, hold tight next to your wire, wrap tightly around, and they should hold tight! 


Make one, or make a ton! Use tie-dye floss for a nice ombre look, or stripe the threads like in the Rainbowlicious hoops!
