Czech Glass Button Bracelets

A few years ago I found my first Czech glass button, I wasn't sure what I would do with it.  Maybe I would use it on one of my bags, or maybe a piece of jewelry. Well I decided on making bracelets that I would use the buttons as the centerpiece to each bracelet.  Each of these beautiful bracelets is a one of a kind piece of jewelry.  Each piece of jewelry I sell comes in a handmade fabric or crochet drawstring bag, perfect for gift giving or storing your jewelry. I hope you enjoy these lovely bracelets as much as I enjoyed making them.

Handmade Reverseable Drawstring Bags

Drawstring Bags
Here are some reversible drawstring bags I made.  I have one of these in my purse with my cell phone in it. It protects my phone in my purse from all the stuff that is in it.  Another use that I have found is when I need to take my hair brush with me I put the bristle part of the brush into the bag pull the drawstrings and I can keep it clean in my purse this way.  These bags would make a great gift bag also.
 Measurements: 7 inches by 4 inches
pink camo and girly skull & crossbones
Colorful flowers
Dusty rose

Would you like one in a different size or different prints or colors, Contact me and let me know you would like a custom drawstring bag.

One of a Kind Handmade Purse

I made this beautiful turquoise and brown clutch purse with cotton fabrics and a magnetic clasp.  This purse is very soft and flexible.  You can carry this bag like a clutch or with the little handle built into the top of the purse.  It can be machine washed and dried and use a medium heat iron if needed.  The exterior fabric is turquoise with little brown, yellow and white flowers all over, the outer edge and handle  was made with the turquoise cotton wrapped with brown satin ribbon.  It has a light interfacing to help hold its shape. The edging / handle was hand sewn on with several rows of stitching for strength.

     


Measurements:
       10 inches across
       6 1/2 inches high
       5 inches deep
       1 3/4 inch wide
       Care:
      Hand wash and dry flat. Use medium heat iron if needed.

You will find handmade mousepads, tote bags, jewelry, and so much more.

Pin Cushions

 Dress Form Pin Cushions
These pretty pincushions are made with cotton fabric and a ribbon around the waist. I have added a large bead with a long pin to hold it in place at the top.  They are stuffed with cotton fabric strips and poly fill stuffing.
Use them for a pin cushion near where you sew, if you don't sew, set her on your desk with some straight pins you can pin notes to her, in your bedroom use straight pins to pin jewelry to her.  What would you use it for.


She is approx. 8-1/2 inches tall by 4 inches wide.
