I've been hard at crafting the past few days and here's what i've come up with!

In the past i've made my daily prophet earrings like this:


But this time around I added beads into the chain:





I think I like the beads in the chain a lot more. It adds a little something. I also used a post type earring in some of them vs. the usual hook. Which type of earring do you prefer? I'd like to know others opinions.

Hey all!

I've made some more Harry Potter inspired earrings. This time they're micro books post earrings.





And another mini daily prophet dangle set


And a bracelet with Daily Prophets


Please let me know what you think.

Does anyone know where to get these or what they're called exactly? They're like glass beads or something you put on the metal back piece. These would be easier to do than dealing with resin so if anyone can help me out by even telling me what they're called, that'd be great.



These were made by PrettyLittleCharmsU K on Etsy.

Her descriptions on Etsy just say that each book page is "sealed beneath glass"

I made these a while ago and never posted them here, oops.

Over the summer I made mini books out of all the Harry Potter books and made them into earrings.  It was a long process, but I was so proud of the way they turned out. Everything about the books was done from scratch. I printed out the covers, laminated them, and then cut many pages of paper to the same size. I folded the paper and smothered it in mod podge. I left it to dry overnight underneath a heavy object to stay closed. Also, the book size changes depending on the thickness of the actual book. Yes, I pay that much attention to detail.

Here are some pictures.






I also made a bracelet:

So I've been making a lot of stuff lately.

This first one took the longest time. & boy did my back hurt afterwards because I did the majority sitting on my floor instead of at a nice big table in a comfy chair. Ow. I used this great tutorial: http://www.jcarolinecreative.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=JC&Screen=HOBO_BAG

This is my 3rd capri sun bag. The first two I made about 3 years ago and were 1/2 a capri sun taller. This one came out MUCH better than those. And I upgraded it by lining it and adding a zippered pocket.

And the last thing is a small zippered pouch made from "collaging" starburst wrappers into a sort of fabric.



Please let me know what you think of everything!  

So, I've been making these cute little bows. I started out doing them like this:


But then I saw someone on Etsy doing it slightly different and at the time I thought it looked better, but the way I've done it looks like this:


So, in the second version the fabric goes over the bottom part of the alligator clip. It looks cleaner and might hold up better than the first version, but I don't really like the way the fabric looks on the bottom. You can see the end of the middle sections, where as in the first style you don't see where the middle section meets cuz it's hidden by the clip.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix the 2nd way? Or should I just continue with the first way I was doing?

I know they are so similar, but I'm so particular and especially because I plan to sell these I want them to be perfect. Any feedback is appreciated!!!

I saw this picture on Tumblr and would really like to learn how to make the 2nd, 5th, & far right bracelets.



Does anyone know a pattern online or a book that has the pattern in it? Thanks so much.

I have a list of different stencils i would like because i waqnt to make a bunch of shirts.  I'm having trouble making the stencils myself, or rather finding good pictures, so i was wondering if you guys could help.

Heres a list of subjects i'd like stencils of:
*Criss Angel
*Harry Potter (from the goblet of fire)
*Fred and George Weasly (from the goblet of fire)
*Ron Weasly (from the goblet of fire)
*Supernatural
*Saved by the bell/zack morris
*Boy Meets world (corey/shawn/or both)

If anyone can make any one of these i would be eternally gratefull.

If someone could make me a stencil from the TV show Supernatural (on the WB) i would really appreciate it.  I don't have a specific pic, but if you go to http://fan-sites.org/supernatural/gallery.php there are some good ones there.  Thanx.

Alright this is for the people that have seen the movie Grind.  If you haven't then you won't know what i'm talking about.  Any way you know how in the movie Eric made the Super Duper Skateboards t-shirts.  Well I wanted to make one for myself, so i need a good pictre of the image on the shirts.  If anyone finds one, please post it here.  Thanx.
