So for two months now, I've been trying to get the ball rolling on my next diy project - I really wanted to make little purse charms. Not that my accessories need accessories, but seriously I need as much glitter rainbows and cuteness as possible in my day to day. After fruitlessly searching for supplies for several weeks now (would you believe that no craft supply stores have restocked peacock feathers?!), I'm almost at my wit's end. I'm hesitant to order supplies online because honestly, how do you package feathers to send in the mail? I want pretty undamaged plumes.
And then I was happily clicking through listings on etsy and stumbled upon leatherprince. Cuteness galore in lots of colors! None of the designs seem childish but remain whimsical and look so well made! Beon and Candy, husband and wife team, make these in their leather shop in Singapore.
I want them all. If you have been following my blog for a while, you know about my sickening handbag acquisition... They need accessories! Now only which ones to choose from... Ahhh I can't get over the colossal cuteness!

Maybe this is what I need as inspiration to search a little bit harder. I want to make bohemian clip ons with bright feathers and suede string and little trinkets like compass charms. Argh, does anyone have any hints on where to look other than Pearl Paint, Michael's, Jo-Ann's, and Hobby Lobby? I'm at a loss.
the turtle is my fav. i'd suggest looking online, ebay for vintage stuff and downtown if you have a fashion district.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Ebay. Search "vintage lot" and look at the items that are about to end (within 10 minutes). That way you can snag some great deals that everyone else has overlooked. Some cool things to look for are vintage copper-coated cracker jack charms (cheap), broken necklaces and bone, brass, copper beads (also really cheap), and all sorts of tiny charms.
