DIY Ombre Bangle {with a Secret Valentine Message!}

 Like it?  I sure do!  I can see me wearing this everywhere!  Here’s the lowdown on how I made it and you can too!  You can replicate it exactly or do your own thing.  Not a fan of pink?  No problem, just substitute your favorite colors instead!

MATERIALS:
– unfinished wooden bangle
– acrylic paint in three colors {I used a dark pink, light pink, and red}
– Mod Podge Outdoor Finish and Super Glossy Finish
– paintbrushes
– painter’s tape

FYI:
My bracelet is from Banglewood Craft Supplies; this is a size small slender bangle.  I love that they come in different diameters because I have super-small wrists and when I try buying bangles in the store, they sometimes want to fall off, especially when I’m dancing.  Once I had a bracelet fly off in the middle of giving a lesson on arm-styling.  Not good.  But that’s another story…
Anyway, stay tuned for a giveaway from Banglewood later this month and to see how I decorated the other two bracelets Tiff sent me!

The word beloved was an instant choice for me because it means a lot in my life.  First of all, my name, Amy, comes from the French ami, which means…you guessed it, beloved!  It also reminds me that I’m loved by my parents, who chose the name, my husband, who chose me as his partner in life, my son, who says he loves me to the moon and back a hundred million times, and by God who has known and loved me since before my birth.  I like having a secret little reminder of that on my arm; I think it’ll come in handy if I’m having a tough day or get down on myself.
