Hair Ties in a Jar





Craft fair stuff has kind of taken over my life, at least my crafting life.  I have been saving (hoarding) these baby food jars for about three years, so it was about time to put them to use.  These FOE (Fold Over Elastic) hair ties are super popular right now, so I bought some of the elastic and made a bunch of the hair ties myself.  I made the hair ties, painted the lids to the baby food jars and voila!... a great little craft fair item.  I am still trying to decide if the jar needs a tag, not sure it does.  Each jar has a variety of 10 hair ties.  I am planning on selling the jar with the 10 hair ties for $7.  What do you think?  Would you pay that?  I hope some people will.

Have a great day!

July Club 3D Item


This is the project that my Stamp Club members did for their 3D item in July.  It is a cello bag that has been decorated and then filled with decorated clothespins.  You can either leave the clips as just clips or add a small magnet to the back to make them clips for the fridge.  I ordered some really inexpensive magnets from China, and all of my club members opted to add magnets to theirs.  It was a big hit with my group.

I am looking for one more member of my club, so if you are local to the Ventura County area and want to join, please contact me!  Stamp Club is a great way to make some free projects just for ordering your minimum ($25).  My club meets once every other month, so it's only a $150 commitment for the year.  Plus, you get the hostess benefits on the month that you host, which will be at least $25 in free merchandise.  Again, just contact me if you'd like to join or if you have any questions.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! except for the bag and magnets:

Stamp Sets: Postage Due and Gossamer Lace
Papers: Naturals White Cardstock and Natural Composition Specialty DSP
Ink: Island Indigo and Riding Hood Red
Accessories:
Stampin' Dimensionals, Linen Thread, Crumb Cake 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon, Postage Stamp Punch and Labels Collection Framelits

Have a great day!
