Title: I would like your opinion
Post by: Bert on October 22, 2012, 10:07:35 pm: Do you think anyone would be interested in any of these if I put them in Christmas gifts.

These butterflies are sold as they are but can be put on brooches, hair clip, sown on to cushions, bags, top the list is endless.

These are wrap around bracelets made with glass pearl beads and hand made cow or ram horn buttons ( takes an hour to make one button).

These are bead weaved bracelets.

All bracelets come in a little bag like this.

Post by: jaykay on October 23, 2012, 05:40:34 am: They are all beautiful :love:

I think you'd sell the butterflies best if you offered them on brooch pins or hair clips. Most folk aren't handy at all and even those that are, are madly busy around Christmas.

Post by: in the hills on October 23, 2012, 08:50:25 am: All great. :trophy:

My favourites are the bead bracelets but my daughter would love a butterfly hairclip.

Guessing you may get plenty of orders. ;D

Post by: colliewoman on October 23, 2012, 10:48:21 pm: I keep thinking about these....

Would it be possible to make one of the swallowtail butterflies but with red and black beads?

If so I would like one please!
If not, I am sure I could pick one of the others :love:

Post by: Blackbird on October 24, 2012, 03:44:53 pm: Lovely, Bert - especially the swallowtail butterflies. I would very much like some of the hand made horn buttons for some of my knitting projects as well - any chance of selling them separately?
Title: Re: I would like your opinion
Post by: Bert on October 24, 2012, 05:52:41 pm: Thanks for all the feed back every one :thumbsup:
Firstly Colliewoman I have sent you a PM. Hope you got it.
Butterfly's are £4.49, wrap around bracelets are £4.75, bead weave bracelets are £4.75
All are plus 75p postage & packing.(can combine postage)
Blackbird I can make you some horn buttons, but I'm sorry they are going to have to be £1 each because like I said in my post it takes me an hour to make just one.
Should I of put this in Market place/ Christmas gifts?
