New Bracelets and our Etsy Store!
Yes! Our Etsy store is finally open!! Please check it out B and D Novelties and Gifts Etsy Store . We only have 4 items in our store at the moment but I've got a lot more to list this week so bookmark it and keep checking back!
First thing I wanted to share is that my 8 year old had a book fair at school last week. He used money that he earned mowing grass for B for the book fair. He bought a few books for himself and also came home with this:
Yep, he was thinking of his mommy and he was just so proud that he got it for me! It's actually pretty cool. It has some different methods of making bracelets that I've not seen before and has given me some new ideas! Plus I like the charms that were included and will definitely use them.
I wanted to share a couple new bracelets that I have recently made. These two are up on our Etsy store right now.

Cute Magnets
Another one of our new projects is magnets. I love making these, they are so easy and fun. All you need is some glass gems, some decoupage, magnets, and some pretty paper or pictures. I'm going to try making some of these with my kids' school photos to see about possibly making custom magnets for people. Here are a few of the designs that we have made so far. I've had a difficult time getting good photos of these because everything reflects off of the gems.
Hugs, Love, and Smile magnets |
Various Designs |
I've spent a big part of this week taking photos of of the merchandise we have so far and editing the photos so that they are ready to go up on Etsy. Pretty soon, hopefully within a few days, our Etsy shop will be up and running and ready for business!!

Pony Bead Bracelets and Charms
Once I got the hang of friendship bracelets, I worked my way up the ladder to bead bracelets with basic pony beads. I made a few of these when I was younger; I even made an awesome necklace for my husband before we got married and he still has it! My second grader made one in school so these are not difficult to make obviously, but it's fun to play around with designs and add other beads or charms into the mix. These are a few basic pony bead bracelets that I started out with
They were kind of difficult at first. I would make some that ended up being too long and then some that ended up being too short. I think the short ones would work for kids. Again, if you are interested in any of the products posted on the blog, email us!
