Happy Halloween Bunting - DIY

Make some flag templates by using a diamond shape (I did this on pages on a mac, but you can do it it word/publisher etc), then fill them with different Halloween patterns, I just searched for 'Halloween patterns' on Google images! I then downloaded this font and spelled out 'Happy Halloween' with 1 letter per flag. (I'm sorry I tried to upload the flag documents but blogger won't let me :(, because then you could have all used the same ones, but if anybody wants me to email it to them just let me know and tell me whether you would like it in a format for mac or pc))
You will need scissors, double sided sticky tape or pritt stick, and some string ( I used black for Halloween)
Cut out all of the flag shapes and lay them down in order.
 Take a length of string ( I didn't cut mine until I finished as I wasn't sure how long it would be) and fold your flags in half.
Place strips of double-sided sticky tape onto the inside of the flag and peel away the non-sticky paper.
Place your flag under the string and fold the flag in half, keeping the string at the top!
 They your flag should look like this, keep going and don't forget to leave a bigger gap between the end of 'Happy' and the start 'Halloween'
 You now have your very own handmade Halloween bunting! I hope you like it!

New Bracelet

This morning I went to a craft fair with my Mum, I had a great time and we looked around all the lovely little stalls selling card, jewellery making items and more! I bought this bracelet, which I think is a copy of the Links London friendship bracelets, for £4. There were loads of different colours and I was stuck between this one, a multicolored neon one or a black one, but I decided on this mixed pink bracelet in the end.
 I have also been having a play around with my blogs HTML and finally found out how to get a smaller space between my photos, I have been trying to find out how to do that for SO long! I have also tried to change the font, but I'm not so keen on many of the choices blogger gives you, so I I copied and paster some text into my new post box, and when I deleted it the font stays the same, even though it's not available on blogger. I did a bit of research and apparently if you use a font thats not available on blogger without embedding it then the font will automatically change. So I was wondering if you could all let me know whether the font is the same as in this screen shot?
