Express yourself



If you have to wear a badge reel at work, you can still express yourself by using the interchangeable buttons that velcro on the front of it.  Maybe there is an inner beach bum in you or you like to garden or enjoy nature or have a "thing" for shoes.  Maybe you are a pet mom or want to express a hobby.  All of the designs can be made with any color of thread or fabric.

New designs are here!


Cute pacifier clips.  Designs can be made with any color thread, fabric or ribbon.

Key ring

Key ring can be initials or a small saying or design (coming soon).

Badge reel


Badge reels can be used as a holder for small sewing scissors also.  Button is attached with velcro so you can change looks for different occasions and holidays. 

Pacifier clip


Pacifier clips can be made with plain fabric or monogrammed.  Coordinating ribbon has a snap to attach pacifier.   There is a bulldog clip on the back. (Do not leave baby unattended or put them to bed with anything that could wrap around their neck.)

Eyeglass holder


Eyeglass holders have a chain to hang your glasses on and have a magnetic back.  Not suitable for people with pacemakers.  I could construct it differently without a magnet if needed.

Necklace

Made with tough black rubber tube lacing and lobster clasp.  Specify desired length.   New designs are coming soon. 

Zipper pulls

Zipper pulls for tote bags, purses or scriptures.

Ponytail holders

Here are a few examples of the different fabrics, thread and initials on some of the ponytail holders.  They can also be used as napkin holders for place settings.

Magnets anyone?


My first project was making cute magnets, since it was the simplest of the ideas I am working on.  They sell for $1 each and are very strong.  I also have them in the local shop called ETC on Main Street in McMinnville.    Good for refrigerators or file cabinets.  Our chalkboards at church are magnetic for holding visual aids and pictures.
