Happy purchases: My pretty customized bands from The Bead Shop!
Didn't take me long to figure out which two words I wanted!
The second word’s pretty self-explanatory (that’s been my label since my skinny schoolgirl days) while the first can be best explained by taking one look at me. Ha! If you don’t get what I mean, let’s just pretend the word describes my totally mischievous personality. =P
Back view: Gotta love these snaps!
I love that they come with automatic snaps which make them super easy to wear and remove (read: no buckles!).
There were a lot of different styles with all sorts of words available but I wanted my own labels so I had to wait for three days for customized versions. For these, I paid around P295 a piece—that includes the additional charge for having the metal plate personalized (around P50, if I remember correctly). You can also choose the colors of the bands, the font (only two choices though: all caps or small letters) and even the size of the band and the metal plate.
My friend Ade got the thicker versions (click here), which are cute, too! I think hers are among the ready-made styles.
I think I need one more. Or MORE! =)
Now I’m hooked and I want to get some more, in all sorts of fun words and colors! I’m thinking these would make pretty awesome gifts, too, yes? If only there’s a cheaper supplier. Heehee. I have a pretty good idea about where I can get the bands, the problem is finding someone who does engraved plates like these.
If you have any ideas, please do share!
Very nice. Those would really make cool gifts. My teenage nieces would love those. Thanks for the idea.
