Bottle Cap Necklaces

I was looking for a gift to make some friends and I came across some great circular images.  I thought about trying to use them with my square tiles, but I wasn't sure I was going to like how that turned out so I looked into buying circle glass tiles.  While that was an option, it still wasn't exactly what I was looking for.  Then I found a bottle cap necklace kit and I decided to try it.  I haven't made the gifts for my friends yet, but I did make some baseball team and super hero necklaces.  I am super happy with how they turned out and looking forward to making more!  I ordered another kit today :)

Button Earrings

I recently opened a storenvy shop, so that I can sell some of my handmade products.  My goal isn't so much to make a profit as it is to be able to make enough money to keep buying supplies so I can make more items :)  I was trying to think of a new product to make when I remembered some cute earrings that my cousin had given me last Christmas.  They are cute, simple orange and pink button earrings.  I have a bunch of fabric, so I searched etsy for the rest of the supplies and found what I was looking for.  They were pretty simple to make and I am happy with how they turned out.  I adhered the buttons to silver post earrings and added them to my website yesterday.
