I've been busy the past few weeks getting ready for a 2 day holiday show here in town. I was challenged to come up with some designs that would allow the local children to buy for family and friends, without spending too much. The challenge was low cost, quick to make in quantity and yet absolutely COOL!
Here's a sneak preview (show is on Thursday and Friday this week)of some of the handmade products. I like them so well that I plan on adding some similar items to the website!
Just click the thumbnails to see a bigger picture!
As you can see there's pirate skull crossbones, mermaids, snowflakes, recycled soda pop can charm pendants, guitar pick earrings and more!
