Hello my dear virtual friends,
I have just a quick post today to say I did in fact shave my head on Friday March 13th. Our team raised over 6,000 dollars for the St Baldrick's Foundation. There are events all over the country but the event in Denver at Fado Irish Pub is one of the biggest. This event raised $466,229 and had almost 600 participants. It was a great experience and a fun day with laughing, hanging out with good friends, beer drinking and yep a little crying.
I must tell you, when this all started, I was the last female on our team to sign up and I would never have had the nerve if two of my dear friends weren't also involved in this semi-craziness.
I can't really speak for my friends but I am pretty sure that this was a one time thing for me and I thought that it would be nice to make something to commemorate the event. Being me. of course I had to make that something out of junk. :-)
I used some watch parts, leftover from my other bracelet project, old buttons and even some metal washers to string together these commemorative bracelets.
To stamp the date I used a 5/32" letter stamp set like this one. I am not very good at using it but I did manage to get a legible date.
Happy Upcycling
P.S.
For those of you who are curious. Some before and after pics.
