Awareness items

I am very big on awareness's and helping others. It first started with me being a person who has Alopecia Areata. I was born with it and it's actually a skin disorder that makes one loose their hair. Those who know me wouldn't know that because I just loose some hair but I have little to no body hair. I became a member of the foundation and then I started donating what I could to that foundation. Then I started helping with the American Cancer society to raise money for all cancers, then breast cancer and now I've started with Autism and Supporting the troops. I always look for people to offer new awareness's to support because I make items to show support. I have hair clips, broaches, candles purses and I want to make more because each item that sales I give sales to that given awareness. If you don't shop with me normally at least look at these items and spread the word. I really want to help find a cure for these awareness's and help those less fortunate out.

Alopecia is blue ribbon- I don't have an item made yet.
All cancers is violet- I don't have an item made yet.

 

(BREAST CANCER HAIR CLIPS 2 FOR $1)

   (BREAST CANCER BROACH PEN $2)

(BREAST CANCER "HOPE" CANDLE $8)

 (AUTISM BROACH PIN $2)

(MEDIUM AUTISM HAIR CLIP $2)

(SUPPORT OUR TROOPS MEDIUM HAND BAG $5)

New handmade hair clips

When you are a crafting you will start to evolve over time and fine new crafts that you are able to pick up. I sew, make jewelry, decorate home decor and now I've started making hair clips. It's fun an easy and another way to express myself. I have made large, small and mini clips. I only have a few done so I can see what people think about them. Check out our section on our fanpage

Another contraption to make jewelry making fun and original.

I have this fun new toy that I have to thank my mom for getting. She found the coiling gizmo at our local goodwill, just like she found my first beading set and that got me into my beading frenzy. THANKS MOM!! : )

Anyways. As you can see my new toy is called the coiling gizmo and what this does , it takes traditional hand wrapping and coiling and makes it so much easier. Easier on the hands and it shortens time in hand wrapping. I hand coiled ring and it took me an hour !! I made one then with the coiling gizmo.... Not even a min to get the band coiled!! I love this contraption.
I have found some through amazon and eBay the newer gizmos come with many more attachments but mine just came with two different size mandrels to wrap your wire, and a metal U shaped bar to assit in coiling. The yellow C clamp I got at walmart for $3

As you can see on the front of the box you can become very creative with this coiling gizmo and it takes atleast half the time down from doing it by hand. I have demonstrated on how you can even make your own beads by using beads!!! How AMAZING!!

I'm doing a patriotic line right now , hence the red, white and blue. GOD BLESS AMERICA. any who, I first count out the beads I want to coil, you don't have to but I'm OCD. : ) I leave my wire on my spool. Then I take the end of the wire and wrap it around the size of mandrel I want to use. I chose the smaller mandrel for these beads. You can either wrap towards you or away from you, which ever you like more.
I then just started to wrap. Depending on the length of the bead will determine how much coil you want to show before you start pushing up your beads.

Then I started to coil my seed beads into the coil bead I'm making making sure not to hold it too taught because the beads will break. After the seed beads are all coiled I coil the same amount on the end as I started with. Snip, tuck and smooth out and ....
Tada you have just coiled your own personal bead !!

My rating for the coiling gizmo is a very good one. I really like so far what I am able to do and I've Seen some great videos of what people have done and I am defiantly going to expand in making beads and coils with the gizmo and I will be offering them for supplies to others so keep a look out for that too.

Let's get patriotic. Show your support

($8 HAND PAINTED FLOWER ACCENT/CENTERPIECE)

($3 HAND COIL BEADED EARRINGS)

($4 HAND COIL BEADED BRACELET)

I am through this week and June to July pushing patriotic items. I have a few made and only have tons more to make. 

Patriotic accent pieces for your table when you have your memorial day or 4th of July parties.

Earrings with a matching bracelet. I personally hand coiled/wrapped the individual "beads" you see on the earrings and then on the bracelet. So it has even more extra love.

Stay tuned for more patriotic items I will be making to celebrate our independence and support our veterans and those in service still protecting us all.

God Bless America

Zibbet vs. Etsy

So finally I looked into this semi new handmade craft selling page similar to Etsy and I'm giving it a try.
Zibbet is the site (www.zibbet.com) just like anywhere you sell it takes time to get a customer base and it takes self promotion and interacting in the groups and forums. This goes for Etsy and Zibbet.
For Zibbet, the good I found, free posting of items to sell, you can link your Etsy account to you Zibbet. That's very nice of them : )
For Zibbet, the not so good I found, if you want to have unlimited amount of items you can post to sell you have to pay for a account. Like a monthly fee, you still get 50 spots to post under a free account but many of us have way more than 50 items. Zibbet isn't as well known but it's in the rising if more of us let the world know about it. If you have more than one item of that one product you can't type in more than one quantity unless you have a paid account. I have just typed in the bottom of the description if I have more.
Now many of us know Etsy and how it works but I'll still go over it.
The good, it has great groups to meet people, learn new tips, self promote and to walk you through dos and don'ts and good etsy selling. Many people have turned etsy into their full time job so you can become successful.
There are a lot of jewelry selling so it can be difficult to gain jewelry sales , you have to pay 20cents per posting wich is not bad but if you are already hard on money that can become difficult. That starts to add up.

As a whole both places have great potential of anyone being successful. It just takes time, patience and you have to work at it just like anything else. I've had my first sell on Etsy after 1 month so I'm okay with that. I'll keep you posted on how Zibbet turns out.

Centerpieces anyone?

So I've been really going crazy with crafts... in a good sense. I love creating new things and offering them to a lovely home. So I started making some home decor items, vases/centerpieces. I have a few made up on the website so check those out. These can really be used for table centerpieces, accent pieces around the house and they can hold just about anything from pens and pencils, craft supplies, potpourri and the list can go on and on...

I would love to be able to do some center pieces maybe for a wedding or some type of celebration. I think they could be great pieces for guests to really enjoy looking at. I just wanted to share my craft that I was doing last night and like I said more are up on the website and are ready to go to new homes.
