Practical Scrappers/Paper Secrets Blog Hop

Welcome to the Practical Scrappers/Paper Secrets Blog Hop! We are so excited to have you here today! For this blog hop we are featuring the Ten Things Team from Practical Scrappers and members from the Design Team at Paper Secrets. Our topic for this hop is a fun, trendy one that will definitely catch your attention: wood! We have a grab bag of yummy products to give away and you can get all the details on that below.

But first, here's a look at my wood project.

(Supplies:---Twine:Queen and Co.---Buttons:Stash)

For my project I choose wooden buttons and twine. I pulled out my trusty crochet hook and got busy! I wanted to show how sturdy wooden embellishments can be. These pieces together make a sweet bracelet that was easy to assemble.
