Gift wrap bows!

To go along with my hair bows, I will also be selling hand-made gift wrapping bows! (The kind you buy in big bags and stick on top of gifts :])

I can do various sizes, from tiny to about the size of a CD.

I can do different colors and patterns, as well as custom orders!

Best part is, THEY CAN BE RE-USED! Yep. I don't make them out of that plastic stuff. I make them out of fabric, gross grain ribbon, and materials like that.

Another plus to these, is the fact that I don't use staples what-so-ever. Every bow is hand sewn and/or hot glued, so if you have a curious toddler, who likes to chew, there are no choking/scratching hazards!

I can do custom amounts, colors, sizes, and mixes so let me know what you need!

Sample of Halloween Clip

So here is an example of one of the Halloween bows I have for sale.

Like I said, I'm sorry for the quality of the picture, hopefully I can get a new camera within a week.

I will post more examples as I create them tonight!

Want to buy before I open up shop?

I am making the hairbows available to people before I open up my website, or my Etsy shop.

The forms of payment I can accept before I set up shop, include postal money order, personal check, and cash.

I will have more examples up tonight, as I am still setting this all up.

My digital camera is broken, so sorry in advance for the lack of quality in the pictures!

Donating proceeds!




I have a few causes that are close to my heart.

I've decided to have a special section in my Etsy shop once I open it up. All of the money made from the bows in that section, will be donated to certain causes.

The first that I will be raising money for, is the fight against breast cancer. I don't personally have someone in my family who's been diagnosed, but I have friends who's family members have been. It's a scary and unsure situtation to be in. And I don't think anybody should have to ever endure such times.

When purchasing bows that are marked for donations, please feel secure in knowing you are helping to better lives, and that your money will go to the appropriate groups.

Pledge Handmade!

I am a big supporter of small and home-based businesses.
Not only do people put their hearts into what they create, but you are helping out those who want to create a living from doing something they love.

Also knowing you're getting a one-of-a-kind item is a cool feeling. Maybe the person you're buying from makes the same shirt for someone else, but you know there will always be the quirky little differences.

And if it's not the supporting of small businesses that will compell you to buy handmade, maybe it's the fact that you can literally find a way to buy what you want, the way you want it!

Opening up my online shop soon!

I was originally going to open up an Etsy shop to start out with. But when I read the rules, I noticed you couldn't collaborate with other people and put everything together in one shop.

So I decided to open up an online shop, and I can get everything I need done the way it was intended.

Wednesday, I will be opening up a shop on Etsy however, for the hairclips I make. Halloween of course, will play a big part in what will first be listed!

I expect my actual website to be up in about a month if not sooner. I can't wait! :]
