Hand Painted Kashmiri Bangles

Love the color, and the pattern and everything about them. They are from Smithsonian store and way too expensive (for me anyway, National Geographic has something similar but they don't look as good ). BUT! read the discription:

These wooden bracelets are sheathed in hand painted papier-mâché adorned with nature-inspired motifs rendered by artisans using native pigments. Color assortments are pre-selected and will vary. 8"; Set of 6.

GOSH! how cool would it be to make personalized ones?! Then I can have whatever I want on mine. Plus it'd make an awesome gift. Now I just need to find the bracelets for the base (for cheap). I could even paint the paper myself if I couldn't find what I wanted. Neat huh?
