Chevron Craze

I have been working on painting ornaments.

They are glass ornaments that I have been painting with acrylics and then sealing with a gloss clear coat.

I decided to try a chevron pattern since it is so popular.

I used a green and white to make the chevron pattern.

On top of the chevron pattern I drew a silhouette of a reindeer and painted it in with red.

The result is a fun, modern Christmas ornament!

Stashing through the Snow

I know it is only September, but I have started working on Christmas presents!

Those of ya'll who are crafty and make your own gifts know that starting early is key!

This year I have decided to try my hand and painting glass ornaments.

Here is my first one:

This mustache inspired ornament is for my best friend.

I started with a clear glass ornament and painted it white.

I then painted a black mustache on it and painted the quote on.

Ta da, a cute ornament for her tree!

I can't wait to give this to her!!

Steampunk Inspired

I have had this gorgeous steampunk clock scrapbook paper for awhile now.

I wasn't sure exactly what to do with it, or what to accent it with.

I recently got a pack of tags that had some in it with a little stopwatch on it.

I knew they would match perfectly!

I started looking through my scrapbooking supplies, gathering materials to match.

I came up with some lace like ribbon, washi tape with old clocks on it, tan flowers, half back pearls, and clock hand charms.

The first card I put a Happy Birthday sentiment on and put it for sale in my Etsy shop.

The last two cards I left blank and put them in my stash for cards to have when I need them to give.

They will either be happy birthday cards or thank you cards.

Cards such as these and more are available in my Etsy shop

Star Necklace

Today I am sharing with you a project that I had made for my sister for her birthday.

She wears a lot of blacks, greys, and white when she goes out with her friends on the weekends.

She also likes when I make her jewelry.

So, I thought I would combine those two things and make her a necklace to wear on her nights out!

I found this star pendant awhile back with her in mind, so I new that it would fit with the theme I wanted to go with.

I then did a double strand necklace, one with mainly black seed beads, 

the other with a grey/silver color seed beads. 

I used several different accent beads in black, white, and grey to make the necklace "pop".

Springy Thank You ATCs

I made myself a set of Thank You ATCs awhile back to include with my customer orders.

I thought, why not make a set to sell on Etsy too?

So here is the fun Thank You set of ATCs that I made for Etsy!

There will definitely be more to come!

These are so fun and easy to make, yet they include enough time to let the person you are giving them to know that somebody cared enough to sit down and make them!

The project I am sharing with you is a gift I made for my boyfriend, Robert.

He loves penguins.

Last year I crocheted him one.

This year I decided to make him a unique one out of sequins!

This cute little guy started out as just a plain styrofoam ball.

I then took sequins pins, added white seed beads and white sequins.

I pinned them in an oval onto the ball to make the stomach area.

I covered the rest of the styrofoam ball with sequins pins with black seed beads and black sequins.

I then cut the feet and beak out of orange felt.

The wings I cut out of black felt.

I adhered them to the penguin with plain sequins pins.

I attached google eyes with glue dots.

I hope you enjoyed my project!

Slightly Fancy

I have these beautiful pearl like charms that I wanted to create earrings from.

I wanted something that was beautiful that could be dressy,

but yet would also look good with jeans.

I love being versatile.

I placed one larger white pearl like bead, one smaller pearl like bead, 

and then another larger pearl like bead on a headpin.

I twisted the top of the headpin and attached it to a fishhook earring back.

I then took the three pearl like charms and put them on jump rings.

I attached those jump rings to the bottom of the headpin.

More earrings like these available in my Etsy shop

More Mustaches Please!

Mustaches seem to be quite the rage lately.

It is easy to see why though, something so simple can look so cute on different objects!

I recently shared with you a heart with a mustache card that I made.

I have made a handful more!

I kept with a red and black theme for all of them.

The red heart really made the mustaches "pop" versus a pink heart.

I really had fun making these and coming up with different types of eyes to draw!

I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

These cards and more are available in my Etsy shop
