Victoria by Jenna Rostigue


Wow.
I'm always looking forward to the projects of our design team and when I received this, I was totally out of words. I don't know how one can come up with a project like this using products from Bee Happy Crafts. Of course, not everything used here came from our store. To learn more about this project, check out Jenna's blog post.

Loom Bands

Our staff at Bee Happy have gone loom bands crazy ever since we started offering the popular product.

Fishtail Variants

Five Row Name Bracelet

Here's the link on how to make the Five Row Name Bracelet.

There's a reason why we didn't offer loom bands products until recently. I didn't think I have the patience and talent to make them. I was right. I made a total of 1 bracelet ever since we got the products and it's a single chain bracelet (the kind that 90s kids used to make with ordinary rubber bands), not even a fish tail. But it made my daughter very happy. Ha!
