Great Finds: packaging on Etsy

Sometimes I'm thinking about packaging: how to package the jewelry that is safety, unbroken and beautiful on a shipping. I love the square boxes, but sometimes they are a little bit expensive for any 10 dollars earrings. So I pack some inexpensive item in a gift organza bag or made a pillow box, hang a tag, attach my business card and wrap all of them into bubble bag. This package I put into a bubble mailer envelope. I think this way is most safety for any jewelry :)

I would like to share these lovely collections at Etsy made in August. Thank you ladies!

green and silver necklace

This summer green color necklace is a custom work. My customer wished that necklace should contain 30 malachite green beads. I have added some emerald green Swarovski beads and Toho seed beads (galvanised silver and emerald green). The necklcae is 45 cm long + 4 cm extension chain. I love the combination of cold and warm shades of green.

crocheted doilies as coasters

Some of little doilies look like lacy pancakes :) I have crocheted them using white 100% cotton yarn. Pattern is available for free on my favorite web: MyPicot.com. I have modified last two rows a little bit. So this doily measures about 13 cm (5").

The crocheted doily can be used as a coaster or a jam-jar cover. It's pretty, isn't it?

One crocheted doily more:

This one measures 10 cm (about 4"), used the same 100% cotton yarn. I think that coasters can be multi-colored, so joyfully change the look on any kitchen.

Dancing Fan Necklace

Cute necklace completes the set with these earrings. Center pieces are so small and delicate as the pieces in the earrings. St.Petersburg chain is also gentle. Clear and golden beads give to the set a bridal kind.

Great Finds: coasters on Etsy

This is a new heading with the name Great Finds in my blog. I hope to update it monthly. And first items are coasters. Just tiny and cute pieces in houseware. These can be crocheted, sewed, made of paper and wood. I think the coasters will add a little celebratory spirit. I'm very inspired with and have started crochet some coasters for my home.

re-used

There was an old crocheted cover for a pillow, I crocheted it at school many times ago. It was very big one, about 60x60 cm. Unuseable. But my mom has diplomatically told me that the crocheted cover is beautiful and I get the "A" in a school. I renewed the cover to the doily, just attached a crocheted red lace around. I think the new item is more practical.

Dancing Fan Earrings

Cute small earrings measure aprox. 2.5 cm (about 1") including ear wire. I used golden and transparent seed beads, czech drop beads and vermeil gold findings. Design by Gwen Fisher.

Instead of drop beads I wished to use tourmaline rondelles. Unfortunately rondelles had very small hole. I tried to use a thin needle size 15, but unsuccessfully. I don't know what to do with these tourmaline rondelles now..
