Product of the Week: Jewelry!

Hello all!

I've debuted my new products today - earrings and matching bracelets, all in plastic canvas!

If you can recall on my last blog entry - where I talked about the creativity of making jewelry out of plastic canvas. From that inspiration, I've made some bracelets and earrings. Definitely what I would wear out myself.

Check them out:

Blue Diamond-Shaped Earrings

Rainbow Diamond-Shaped Earrings

Red Mini Diamond-Shaped Earrings

 Of course, I had to add some matching bangle-style bracelets with them.

Don't feel so blue...

Sexy in red

Over the rainbow...

*Sigh*

Love.  For the deets, check them out here.

Bling it with Plastic Canvas

Hello everyone,

Sorry for my slow progress with the blog, but I promise I will do better this time around. I had to take a mini break then I fell ill. *sigh* But it's all good. I've been working hard doing my projects, and I will reveal them soon enough.

I wanted to blog about this really cool blog I came across while "researching." This creative blogger makes necklace pendants out of plastic canvas! Sometimes even I forget that there are three basic types of plastic canvas, with the 7-count being the most popular version. Anyway, this sparked some creativity on my end so I'm creating some products and hope to reveal them soon enough (or whenever I get over these annoying migraines!).

Readers are encouraged to post their creation on the flickr website



Another creative mind created these cute cube earrings also out of plastic canvas. You can read the forum about it here.

 

Heck, even the color plastic canvas can creative with enough oomph in the jewelry department. Check these two out!









Feeling that creative juice flowing, eh? Make that two of us. I'm off to add my own touch to this idea.

Happy plastic canvasing!

Product of the Week - Rainbow iPhone Case

Welcome back!

Now presenting my new product of the week: Rainbow iPhone case!

Ta-da!

It comes with a flap that you insert in a slot on the front. I tested it with my iPhone and it doesn't slide out easily. Unless, of course, you plan on jerking it around and throwing it against the wall. I'm not responsible for that one.

Slide in your phone

Insert the flap in the slot and off you go!

This case is very simple. It stylishly holds the phone. You even can plug in your headphone without having to take your phone out.

Custom order on this case is available, just send a message and we'll work out the details.

Gotta have it? Buy it here!

Purses in Plastic Canvas, oh la la!

I used to have a thing for purses, but lately it has been all about the pockets. This was a sign that I was slowly losing my feminine touch, then I saw this projects:

 Awesomeness.

Projects like this brings out the accessory fashionista in me. I'll definitely be giving this project a try. Love the idea of using felt for the interior - I'll have to keeping it mind for future projects. For the tutorial, go here.

Some of you might not know that there are pre-cut plastic canvas sheets to buy. I bought mine from Joann's for $1.49. I actually found a seller on Etsy, selling the same thing for $1.50 plus shipping. Whichever rocks your boat.

Maybe I didn't start with a random  color, but I like to play it safe when I do new projects. That way it allows me to make all the mistakes possible and make note along the way. Trust me, if I wrote down all the mistakes I made, I would have an epic book on my hands.

So I may not be the sharpest dresser or a very fashion- forward person, but I do like my bling-bling and my accessories. They can either make or break the outfit. I decided on a red color and added some bling to it. It'll be perfect with a black or a white dress. 

However, I wouldn't know a thing or two about matching. I'm the one who goes out with jeans, gray flip-flops, green shirt, and a bright blue purse. At least I have color in my wardrobe.


Bottom line: have some patient, pick out your color, get the pre-cut purse sheet (can even make one out of a square sheet), and get stitching! 

Note: cutting out from a square sheet, might make your purse squarish. However, if that's the look you're going for, then by all means, go for it!

Happy plastic canvasing!

Keep Calm and...

Keep Calm and (fill in the blank)

I created a "Keep Calm and Bake On" sign stitched in plastic canvas with spray-painted picture frame. Why did I spray paint it, you may ask. Well, here's the thing - I hate to waste things. The frame has been laying around my house and I couldn't bring myself to toss it out. So I decided to create a "Keep Calm and..." product. I figured why not with a frame? I choose cream for the letters and pink for the background.

Keep Calm and Bake On, people!

Anyway, the frame was originally black, and I'm such a perfectionist that I couldn't leave it like that. I decided to spray paint it white. I like the spray paint because it easier than trying to paint on a non-porous surface. So a few coats of that and voila!

So cute, right? I just gotta find the right spot for it in my little kitchen...
