Hi, I'm Jen from
School admin person by day, clothes and accessories designer by night (and weekends). I'm originally from Sweden, but decided to marry an Aussie to escape the cold, dark Swedish winters :-) We now have two wonderful children (a 10 year-old son, and a soon to be 7 year-old daughter).
My handmade career started a few years ago making cards, personalised with peoples' photos. I then tried my hand at making a couple of outfits for my daughter, and after receiving several compliments, decided to make for the masses (at small local markets, lol). I've since expanded my range to include bracelets and other accessories. Hope you'll pop by and visit me here. After a few very successful weeks, the stock in my shop is a bit low. However, make sure to keep checking in as Christmas approaches as I'll be stocking up with lots of fab Christmas goodies.
Button bracelet tutorial
Say it with buttons! I understand that not everyone has these things laying around the house. If you check out www.ebay.com.au (or .com) and www.etsy.com and search for button blanks (I used size 24) and link bracelet blanks, you too will be able to make these fab button bracelets at home. After trying a few different glues I have found that hot glue works best (in my opinion).
I realise that I should have had a manicure before my hubby took these photos, so sorry about the monster fingers…
But the fun doesn't stop there! If you enter a comment on either my blog or on this post at Shabby Art Boutique, you'll be entered into the draw to win a fabulous mystery prize that will be revealed next Wednesday (27th Oct) when the winner will also be announced.
A BIG thank you to Kathryn from Our Shabby Cottage for her wonderful tutorial and guest post last Wednesday.
Congratulations to Lee of Artfulee Designed,
who is the winner of Kathryn’s Brooch Cushion Kit giveaway.
