In need of a gift

I am in need of a gift to give a friend for her birthday tomorrow. I like to give handmade gifts to my friends(whether they like it or not), but I like for the gifts to suit them. I end up giving a lot of jewelry because I usually have something that is just right for the recipient. However, in this case, I don't. So, I happened to remember a little bag I made a few years ago that I thought would work. A few minor alterations later and here is what I came up with...

I really hope she likes it! Good thing I am sure she doesn't read this blog.

Any body who knows me well, knows I am obsessed with any kind of wrap bracelet or leather.

Here are my versions...

Also , can be worn as a necklace..

Pretty fun! And very versatile because they are made from cut up tshirts, go figure.

I don't know about you, but I think my pictures are getting better?.

On to the next project. I have some wristlets in the works...

hello again!

Now that I am at home a lot due to my two new puppies, I have been inspired to start up again!

And it will be Christmas before we know it. So, I have been making a lot of jewelry because I was planning on doing many Christmas shows this year. Unfortunately, that fell through and now i have a lot of new stuff so I might as well share.

I have always enjoyed finding new designs and making them for less. Using inexpensive materials and adding a little twist, you can have something super fun that can make an outfit.

Here are some of my latest:

I saw this at J.Crew, of course. The second one is my version.

This one is from Sundance. I think it is about $400. My pendant, significantly less.

I'm sure I will be trying a version of these soon...
