Mother of Dragons

Mother of Dragons... Closely watching and caring for the eggs until they are hatched or adopted. I carry one around my neck and another in my pocket. Some are placed on shelves and others in boxes. But all are uniquely special and loved.

I have a variety of Dragon Eggs and Mermaid Eggs that I will be listing in my shop.
Which one is your favorite?

Who doesn't love Star Wars in one way or another? It has played a part in everyone's lives at one time. I have been a fan since I was a small child, now my children are mini fans too.

So, to go along with all the mini fans out there I have come up with some new design twists from my Light Saber Magic Wands.

NEW Star Wars Light Sabers!!

Here are a few pics and links to the new Light Sabers available.

Harry Potter Mini Magic Wand Necklace

One day while working on Harry Potter Magic Wand orders I was daydreaming about how I could carry around a wand discretely but have it handy at the same time. Then I thought of my mini Harry Potter Magic Wand Keychain. I already carry one around on my purse ( It helps repel the muggles if they get too close). Why not use the same style but make it a necklace?! So, that's what I did.

Thrift Store Finds

Thrift Store finds of the day....

Bird cage, flower holder, old umbrella, misc tea cups, bracelets and tiny cauldron.

I love going to thrift stores. I have been to many and always have a favorite. Right now my favorite is one that I visit a couple times a month. Sometimes I pop in to look for specific items, other times I get lost for hours looking through every nook.

I want thrift stores to succeed but I tend to stay away from the big box stores that have prices that aren't so thrifty. When I first started thrifting here I found a little hole in the wall where everything was very cheap. .50 for a pair of jeans .25 and .50 for other clothing. It was more like yard sale prices and there was new stuff all the time. I could afford to clothe myself and my children through those stores and dress nice like I had shopped at the mall.

Eventually the stores that I frequented raised their prices and were comparable to Walmart prices- for used clothes- sorry NO. I had to find some new ones to scavenge. Then I found this one. It is ran by a church in our small town. It started out in a room attached to a construction business. They became so popular that they had to expand and ended up moving to a bigger store. The prices were raised a little because of the rent for the new store.

Now though, I guess like everything else, the prices are starting to get out of my range. Time to start hunting for a new one :) I will still shop there though until they are no longer reasonable. So lets hope they stay this way a little longer.

Here are a few great finds for today.

This is a lovely Sage Green metal bird cage with cute little metal birds on it. It has 2 hinges allowing it to open at the top.

Here is a metal wall sconce for flowers. It's not too old but it has seen some use. I will give it a nice coat of paint. I seem to be attracted to these for some reason but I don't hang flowers on my wall.

I always grab the metal bracelets or bangles. I wear them, give them to friends and upcycle them. I will do a post of the ways I upcycle them sometime.

Lately I have been making Mossy Terrariums and Jars. I have been wanting to do a tea cup Mossy Terrarium so when I saw these I thought they would be cute to start with.

To go along with the mossy Terrarium tea cups I thought this little cauldron would be a cute addition.

Last but not least the ugly stained old umbrella. I plan on removing the cover and turning it into a crocheted sun parasol to help keep the hot summer sun off my head. I have already had a sunburn once this year. No fun for my light skin!

Well, I hope you enjoyed viewing my finds today. I will post what the items are transformed into.

Check back for updates and pics of other finds!

DIY Jewelry Diplay

DIY Jewelry Display made from things you have around your house

I like reusing things that might have ended up in the landfill if it hadn't been saved. I like jewelry. I make jewelry there for I have lots of it. I needed a place to display my bracelets not only for when I am not wearing them but for when I do a craft show.

Here is a tutorial on how to make a jewelry display made from things around your house.

Materials:
Tube from wrapping paper, foil, plastic wrap, paper towel and toilet paper
*You will need 4 sizes -15", 12", 6" and 3"
Piece of sturdy cardboard - 9 1/2" x 5"
Exact o knife
Scissors
Pen
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Chop Sticks
Fabric

Start with a sturdy cardboard base, cover the top in your choice of fabric leaving just enough fabric to wrap around and hot glue to the bottom. Make sure you do not make it bulky.

Some supplies

Cut your tubes to make the following sizes: 15", 12", 6" and 3". The 15 and 12 will be used as the top and the 6 and 3 used as the base to hold them up.

Cut tubes and connect

Cut a slit in the center of the 15 and 12 tubes just long enough to slide the smaller ones in. The 15" will have the 6" as a base and the 12" will have the 3" as a base.

Ready for fabric

Cover the smaller base tubes with fabric first wrapping around then securing with hot glue. Then move on to the longer tube trimming where necessary. Leave about 1/4" extra on the ends so you can fold the fabric over and glue to the inside.

Fabric covered

Using a pen hold your tube end on the back of the fabric and trace around it making a circle to cover the end. Apply a small amount of glue around the tube and place it down on the table on the circle. Trim the extra bits.

Trace and cut circle for end cap

Glue end for cover

Cover ends

Using a measuring tape, line up where you would like to position your tubes, draw a circle around them and trim the fabric in the area just inside of the circle you made.

Trim area for attaching base

For sturdiness I added a wooden chopstick to the center of each post having it go through the bottom and trim so it is flat. Hot glue the chopstick and the tube and place on the spots you trimmed.

Add chopsticks for support

There it is! You have made your own jewelry display out of materials you had around your house! Way to go you! Re-purposing always makes me feel good :)

Finished Product

Now to show off your bangles and bracelets at home or in a craft show.

Thanks for stopping by. I will be adding many more repurposing and DIY craft tutorials. Follow me to keep up. Also, if you have any questions I will be happy to answer them.
