Rosettes

Here's the third style I have designed. These little rosettes are so much fun to make. Materials I used are: fabric scraps, felt, metal findings, and hot glue gun! That's it!

Now that I have three different styles down, I think I will start making some sets for Etsy to see how they do, I've been getting a lot of positive feedback from people. It might be a cute gift for Christmas too! Click twice to zoom in all the way.

A Continued Adventure

I tried out a different approach on the fabric train I've been riding lately. This one was made from some scraps of fabric in my bin. I cut various sizes of circles, and then glued them onto some felt & added some embellishments & chain. Click To Zoom & Enjoy!

Blossoms From The Bosom

Etsy has been my inspiration for many projects, and this one I'm sharing today is no exception. I've done different styles of jewelry making, and got the bug to work with some lovely fabric scraps. The first image is my inspiration. The second is my version.

Awesome Right! I just love how this came out and I can't wait to make more. They are indeed time consuming so don't even think about asking for one unless you show me the money! Haha They would
make great Christmas gifts perhaps?

Want to try it out for yourself? Here's a tutorial I found to make mine: http://createanddelegate.blogspot.com/2010/04/tutorial-shabby-fabric-roses.html

Her blog is great if you're a crafty nut like me. Very inspiring!

Fabric Frenzy

I saw a sweet tutorial online about how to wrap beads in fabric for necklaces, so I thought I might give it a go. I bought a few patterns 1/4 yard, and all I used was...cloth, scissors, cheap wood beads, needle and thread! My sewing machine decided to commit suicide so it is out of order for the time being. It took much longer, but I had to hand-sew the tube before filling it with beads. Click on the photo for a larger view.

Oh, and I have also included my other newest necklace creations....wire bending.

Enjoy!

Inspired By Beer

Who wants to hold a cool bottle of beer in a plain ol' koozie? Not me! I made these koozies today simply with some fabric, scissors, and a hot glue gun. (my best friend).
