My Spring inspiration was this delicious flower bouquet from Costco!
Here are all the things I made while getting ready:
My newest project has been handmade jewelry-- I got a kit to make these adorable tile necklaces here. When you buy the kit with all supplies necessary, you get full instructions on how to make them.
Add a small tin to put the chain necklaces in-- I punched out circles to decorate the tins and wrapped these up for some awesome homemade gifts for Mother's Day and Birthdays.
The other accessory I've been working on are these super sweet stud earrings!
I love these! They are so easy to make and really add a cute touch to your outfit. I grabbed a few fun coordinating fabrics at Jo-Anns, and these size 14 or 20 (1/2") cover buttons (also available at my favorite etsy supply store- everything ribbons). Make sure you get the pusher and mold tools! You will also need earring posts and backs- I got these from Michaels.

Then I punched out a cute scallop, stamped a circular image on it and punched two small holes.
Since I was selling necklaces and earrings, I wanted to display them in an aesthetically pleasing manner :) So I made this jewelry frame-- I got an unfinished wood frame from Michaels, painted it black, got 1/2 yard of muslin and glued it into the back of the frame, then glued in some quilt batting behind that. Then I sewed on a few buttons for the necklaces to hang on. I think it turned out great and I will probably move it into my bedroom for my personal jewelry collection.
