Fun jewelry!

2010-08-05T20:07:00.001-07:00

I have been having fun making jewelry lately!

I bought these barbie shoes a while back with the intent to make some sort of jewlery with it. So here it is!

I love all the fun flower cabochons! Yeah cabochons, did I spell that right? A cabochon is that cute flower on this necklace I made.

I got these turquoise beads at the bead show foe $2! So I made this and a matching bracelet. The flower is a fabric flower.

Check outthis shop!!! It is darling! I also just won this cute hat shown in the picture! I am hoping to save it for a girl I hope to have someday. If no girl I will use it for a gift! Isn't it the cutest?

Booties!

2010-04-12T16:15:00.000-07:00

I bought this darling pattern from Ashley on Make it and Love it (her link is on the right) for these cute girlie booties! I made a bunch for my new niece! They turned out so cute! Her patterns are so cute! I also bought the tie one, I will post pics. of those soon too!

I tweeked the pattern a little and made some boy looking ones for Roman!

Boots!

2010-04-12T16:08:00.000-07:00

My sis-in-law just had a baby girl! So I was going all crazy making fun goodies for the little angel. I saw a picture of some boots similar to these and had to figure out how to make them. After 2 and a half tries I finally came up with this pattern. I thought they turned out pretty cute, and they were more my style than the picture I had originally seen.

2010-04-12T16:04:00.000-07:00

Last post on pendants....

2010-02-24T21:06:00.001-08:00

I promise this is my last post on all these crazy pendants...maybe. I thought it would be so fun to make vintage movie poster ones. Since I LOVE movies (especially old ones) and I love wearing what I love. I made loads of them. Some turned out good, some did not. Here are a few. I also put them in my etsy shop!

2010-02-09T15:13:00.000-08:00

Here are some more necklaces I made. I love making these and trying new things with them! I think I am going to sell them on my etsy site soon. I had a fun idea that I am working on at the moment for these necklaces too. I will post them when they are all done. Here are these fun ones!
BTW I really suck at taking good pictures, so these are kind of bad quality. They look much better in person.

I loved how this Audrey turned out! I made her necklace and tiara sparkle! I also love the red!

So this was an experiment. I wood burned this swan ( can you tell it is a swan) into this one inch disc. It turned out alright, I see some great potential in the future for some projects with that wood burner. I am excited!

Marilyn Monroe. She also has a sparkly necklace!

The Beethoven! For all you classic lovers. I am more of a Chopin lover.

The Hitchcock! Who doesn't love a Hitchcock? But who loves him enough to where him around their neck (that just sounded way more creepier than I meant it too)? I am one of those people.

The Bjork. This is another one of those necklaces that only me and a few others might like.

This Audrey is on a one inch circle, but instead of a bail, I used silver wire and made a loop with a bead.

Headbands!

2010-02-09T14:36:00.000-08:00

I just realized that I have not featured all my headbands on here. These are what prompted me to start my etsy shop. Whenever I wore one of these people asked where I got it, and all these people wanted one. So I opened up my shop. It is hard to sell on etsy though. It is more a word of mouth thing and takes awhile to get noticed. Anyways here are most of the styles of headbands I make.

Earrings

2010-02-02T16:52:00.001-08:00

I have really gotten into buying beads and making earrings and watchbands and such. More recently my friend Kristin has been teaching me how to wire wrap. Wire wrapping is much more detailed than the stuff I was making before and pretty much makes my old stuff look really lame. Anyways it is so much fun! I love it! It has been fun making new friends in the process too! Thanks Kristin!
Here are my first pair of earrings I made. I hope to make more fancy ones in the future, but these things took me a good 2 hours to make, and they are not exactly the same size, but who cares! I like them!

Spool dolls

2010-01-20T20:34:00.001-08:00

I love love love The Nanny Goat blog! Melissa did a tutorial on how to make these darling spool dolls, and I just had to make them! So go check out her tutorial here!

Meet Mr. and Mrs. Danny!!!

I just had to make some little Elders. Aren't they darling?

Necklaces

2010-01-20T20:12:00.000-08:00

So these are like those scrabble tile necklaces that are all the rage right now. I made some that were round with cool people on them. I have always adored Audrey Hepburn!

I have little thing for Vincent Price...but who doesn't? Ha ha.

Here is my, "Chopin" one. I know I know I am weird...

I made these out of washers and used a steel stamping set to stamp the letters. As you see it is the initials of everyone in my family as well as our birthstones.
I made these all for my sisters for Christmas with different sayings on them. I was most excited to give my one sister, Heidi hers because it said,"adoption" on it and her kids are all adopted!

Earring holder thingy dingys

2010-01-20T20:08:00.000-08:00

I made these out of old frames from thrift stores. I wish I would have taken a before picture, but trust me they look much better now!

Painted shirts!

2010-01-20T19:50:00.000-08:00

I made this really cute necklace shirt for my niece for her birthday! I liked this big pearl style. These were so easy to make, just t-shirt paint (like the puffy kind) and grab whatever round items you got and just play with it!

Here is another one I made for my other niece. I used the same technique with this one except I used freezer paper and paper punches to make the butterfly!

Here is a fun shirt I made for me! I used the same t-shirt paint, and then freezer paper. I drew the rose and traced the letters on the freezer paper. Then I used an exact o knife to cut them out, making a stencil. I then used an iron to iron on the freezer paper to the t-shirt. After that is the fun part! I painted everything black, let it dry, then put lace over it and lightly brushed silver paint over it. This is what gives it that cool look!
Next time I will do a tutorial.

Wooden Bowl!

2010-01-20T19:38:00.000-08:00

I got this wooden bowl at a thrift store for $1 and I had a vision...and here is the vision come to life!
I spray painted it, mod podged different fabrics to it and then put another coat of mod podge all over it and there you have it!
It is now our candy/fruit bowl, more so candy bowl.

Ribbons and Buttons!

2010-01-20T17:39:00.000-08:00

I Love love love, ribbon and BUTTONS... OH Buttons!!! That being said, I have TONS!!!! So I needed a cute way to display them in all there glorious beauty! I picked up both these beauties at a local thrift store (DI). I got the gumball machine for $3 bucks, and the cookie jar (is that what that is) for $5!

I thought these were a darling way to display my ribbons and buttons and they are also right there whenever I need them!

1st Post!

2010-01-20T08:01:00.000-08:00

I have decided that I wanted to create a craft blog! This way I can log all my fun projects as well as keep up with all the other super cute craft blogs out there! I recently just opened an etsy shop, as a fun hobby! This will also keep you in the loop with that. I hope you all enjoy!
