Huge Black Friday - Cyber Monday Etsy Sale

Image
I'll be joining the big Etsy promotion this holiday weekend, including these three Christmas themed Dream Star dolls. Starting Friday 27th through Monday 30th I will be offering half price shipping, with a second item in the same order shipping free. Mention that your item is intended as a gift to receive a free handmade mini gift tag. See my recent listings of full size gift tags to get something of an idea.

ADO Ornament Trade

I'm not going to show the whole doll ornament until after the trade has been accomplished. But here is a delicious assortment of gleaming wavy edged paper bead charms, along with some simpler pearl and bead charms that will be part of her embellishments. The paper is some scrapbook paper that I have, nice and thick. The beads are made with Mod Podge following the suggestion of one of my Instructables readers, and sealed with my favorite acrylic sealer, Future Floor Wax . I wrapped them with brass craft wire strung with an assortment of glass seed beads. The pearls and faceted glass beads are repurposed from vintage necklaces I won in a raffle. The largest beads are about 2 inches long - quite large for a paper bead. The larger ones are flashy enough to be ornaments in themselves I think. I'll be making more for my next set of gift tags. I'm thinking of doing some Victorian style silhouette shapes. Here's a mermaid figurine modelling one of my beads.
