Colour Mix & Match

Not all of us have the colour combining abilities that Sarah (our mixologist) demonstrates with her fabric bundle and lucky dip creations.  But, as mentioned in a previous newsletter, if you are looking to be a tad more adventurous with your bag fabrics & accessories then grab yourself a colour wheel from any good arts and crafts shop (the best ones are those that easily identify matching colours, like this one) and follow some of our favourite colour wheel matching tips below:

ANALOGOUS - Using any three colours adjacent to each other, for example: red-violet, red and orange

COMPLEMENTARY - Combining one colour with the one opposite on the wheel, for example: blue and orange

TRIAD - Using three colours equally spaced from each other, for example: orange, purple and green

Give it a go and see just how much more fun you can have with your creations, giving them more zing, pop and whizz.  Don’t be shy, remember to share your creations with us, we can’t wait to see what you come up with!
