Make-over for our Bracelet Display Stands

A few months ago I shared with you a tutorial on how to make some simple bracelet display stands out of cardstock which worked very nicely for our jewelry display at the Art Walk.  They worked really well for us so I decided to make more solid ones from polymer clay, using the original "cones" as a form for shaping and baking.  (Tip:  Use a release of some sort such as cornstarch to prevent the clay from sticking to the cardstock.)

We also decided they would be multifunctional if we could display some matching earrings.  Since all our ear wires and art beads are interchangeable, we only needed to display the beads by making a special holder with some heavy gauge wire and adding an alligator clip to hold a label or card.

These are now ready for our next show this Saturday at the Westwold Community Hall.

Westwold Christmas Craft Fair

We had a really nice time at the Christmas Craft Fair in the little town of Westwold yesterday.  We are in only three Christmas shows this year as our selling wholesale to the local stores has been keeping us rather busy.  It was really great seeing some familiar faces and regular customers.  Our scarf jewelry as well as our interchangeable earring system were both a big hit.  Some of our repeat customers were quite pleased that they could purchase more art beads to interchange on the ear wires they had bought from us previously  making it more affordable.

We will be adding more of our art beads for our interchangeable earring system to our website over the next week or so.
