I was looking for a nice bracelet to go with what I was wearing the other day and found an blank wooden bangle that I can paint. It was one of the three wooden bangles that I bought back when I was in college. I got it at Divisoria — our country’s market district where people are always drawn to the low-priced goods and bargain shopping. If and when you come to Manila, please stop by at Divisoria (my family fondly calls it Divi :P ). Our Chinatown is situated there as well.

Here’s what my wooden bangle looked like before undergoing the make over:

I initially thought I liked it to be painted yellow but I changed my mind in the middle of painting the whole thing so I washed the paint off and replaced it with this:

And now, here’s my new and improved wooden bangle!

I wasn’t the only one in the house who was smitten with the festive colors of my new bangle.

Check out my kitten Muming who modeled the bangle as an over-sized crown:

Teehee.

She looks like an African kitty. LOL.

Oh and I just have to show you what I did with the other two when I was in college. As you can see, I loved swirls back then. Actually I still do.

And I still wear my old bangles.

This reminds me that this can be a great gift for a friend. I am actually going to save this for someone else because I promised her I would paint a bangle for her. :P

Hmmm…. maybe I should buy more wooden bangles. :)

Have a colorful week ahead!
