Cherry Blossom Headband Tutorial from The Wishing Elephant

2011-03-24T08:16:00.002-04:00

I think this is the perfect spring headband for a little lady. It would also work on an older head, say, yours. I bought the black elastic headband from the Etsy shop Threddies. This inexpensive and versatile headband fits both toddler and adults! This is and easy project and won't take longer than an hour. I work with felt daily for my shop The Wishing Elephant, I love it and I think you will too!

Supplies:
Cardstock (for stencil)
9x12 Green Felt*
9x12 Light Pink Felt*
No Sew Iron On Adhesive
Needle
Pink Thread (a few shades darker than your pink felt)
Sharp Scissors
Pen
Threddies Black Elastic Headband
Iron
*You'll have leftover felt

Steps:
Iron the adhesive to both pink and green felt. Make sure to keep that paper backing on. Then, make your cherry blossom stencil. You can freehand or simple print this picture onto cardstock. My blossom was about 1.5 inches across.

Trace the cherry blossom on the back of the pink felt. Then, cut out the flower. I find it easiest to cut the petals first and then notch the tips (see photo).

Peel the adhesive backing off of the blossom. Thread a french knot through the center of the blossom. Surround it with 5 additional french knots. I tried to line each of the 5 additional knots up with the notches in the petals.

Lay the blossom (adhesive side down) onto the green felt. Iron on low. Once the blossom is adhered, trim the green felt to about 3mm around the flower. Tip: if you are unsure about the iron temperature, use parchment paper in between the iron and the felt.

Use the trimmed blossom as a stencil on the back of the green felt.

Cut out the blossom shape.

Sandwich the two blossoms (green and embroidered pink) on the elastic headband. Try to match the petals as closely as possible. Iron together.

Trim any of the green that you find unsightly and wear it!

Kristen Duke Photography

2011-03-15T08:14:00.003-04:00

We all know how important photography is to your Etsy site. It's the reason someone buys or passes up your item. Great photography gets you featured in treasuries, blogs and provides much needed attention. Even if you make the most breathtaking item, it won't sell unless the picture is equally spectacular.

Back in January, I was contacted by a photographer looking for unique clothing items for clients. After checking out Kristen Duke's website, I was more than excited to send her something.. anything...everything! Drooling at the idea of having professional photography for my onesies, I sent her a stuffed box.

Here is the first round of photos featuring one adorable model, The Groucho, Orange Love Bus, The Etch a Sketch and The Cupcake. I am positive I got the good end of the swap, these photos are amazing.

Cool Tricks Giveaway Winner

2011-03-10T08:17:00.000-05:00

The results are in. The winner for the Cool Tricks Giveaway is post #5 "One". If this is you, please contact me asap to claim your prize.

Spotlight on Cool Tricks & Giveaway!

2011-03-02T21:04:00.002-05:00

Head over to Cool Tricks to see some of the most fantastic creations on Etsy. Everything in this shop seems transported from a different realm, one of fantasy and dreams. It's no surprise that the creative mind behind this store had an extremely imaginative childhood. Thankfully, she's maintained that sense of wonder and infused it into her shop.

Okay, let's check out the goods. First up is Fern. She's an adorable (and intricate) doll. Part batik, part patchwork and part quilt - this is no ordinary plushie. Fern really is a work of art.

Not only does Toni sketch, create and test each item, she also designs many of the fabrics that go into her work. You can purchase some of the limited edition fabrics here. I obviously have a love for elephants - but this "pink elephants" fabric is to die for.

Last up, is the PB&J quilted hot pads. That's no ordinary jelly - it's huckleberry jam. Not only would I love to have this set in my kitchen, I would love to have it as baby distraction while I cook. It's a double duty item - priceless!

Want to win the giveaway from Cool Tricks? Head over to her shop, return here and tell us your favorite item. Your entry gives you the chance to win your choice of one reversible bib or pot holder. Tweet, FB or post this to your blog for an additional entry. This giveaway will end March 9th at 9:00 P.M. The lucky winner will be chosen via random.org.

The Nautical Trend

2011-02-18T08:05:00.001-05:00

It seems like the nautical trend will never go out of style. When it comes to the little ones, that is even more true. My beach-side childhood may prove me bias, but sailor chic always makes me swoon.

Let's start with this adorable Starfish Jumper from The Trendy Tot. It's simplicity is genius! I love a little lady in navy blue.

This Organic Frenchie Sailor Collar is too cute for words. Don't worry, that sweet little hat is also available at Pure Pixie's store.

And here is the perfect nautical themed baby gift, Hand Knit Anchor Booties. Fabius Maximus has a wide range of knit booties and other goodies.

So, don't be shy! Check out these great EtsyBaby Team members and show the love.

A Chic Boutique for your Little Peep

2011-02-16T22:07:00.000-05:00

Stacy, the owner and creator of The Little Chick, spends her free time designing fun and modern accessories for babies and kids. This week we caught up with Stacy, and here is what we have learned about her adorable shop:

Tell us a bit about yourself and what arts/ crafts that you make?

I am a mom of one beautiful 16 month old little girl and she is the absolute love of my life.....as I'm sure every mom would say of their own kids. In my life before my daughter, I was a freelance designer. My main focus was corporate aviation, but I also worked with kitchen and bath design and interior design. My love of sewing and crafting has been a life long hobby. I've always made things for other people, so when I decided to stay home with my daughter, it was the perfect transition.

I have enjoyed being able to use my creativity to create beautiful baby and toddler accessories from bibs, burp cloths, blankets, quilts,diaper bags and soon to come.....adorable spring dresses.

Is there anything unique about your product?

Most of the items in my shop can be personalized. I love getting request for items to be monogrammed. It is rewarding to see the names of the little one's that will be using my products.

My favorite part of the creation process is picking out fabrics. I guess it is the designer in me dying to come out. I enjoy strolling thru fabric stores and online looking for new and exciting new fabric options.

What was your goal for 2010? And are you on the right track?

My goal for 2010 was to get my shop noticed and to join some great teams to start marketing my products. I definitely feel like I am on the right track. I have joined some really great teams including the wonderful EtsyBaby team. I have been able to meet some really great people and have enjoyed interacting with all of the talented shop owners. 2011 looks like it will be a great year. I can't wait to add new products and continue making existing ones.

"I can't wait to work with you and create something fantastic for your little one!"

Stacy, The Little Chick

Which part of creation process that you like to do the most?

Modern Boutique Style Clothing

2011-02-09T22:04:00.000-05:00

This week, we are checking out Addie Kat Boutique, offering high quality boutique style clothing for little ones of all ages. Here is what we've learned:

Tell us a bit about yourself and what arts/ crafts that you make?

My name is Kim Thacker and I specialize in children's clothing. I design and make all of AddieKat's clothing myself, so each item is made specially for your little one.

Is there anything unique about your product?

One thing unique about my tutus that is hard to find is that I sew the tulle on the waist instead of tie it, so they will last much longer than the tied tutus. Also, I offer personalization on all of my items.

What is your favorite item in your shop?

My favorite items by far are all of my matching brother and sister outfits. I make them for every holiday and they are so much fun! I love to dress my own girls alike, so it always makes me happy to see pictures of other people's children dressed alike in my outfits!

What is your best seller?

Once again, my matching brother and sister outfits. People always contact me saying how happy they are to have found these because it's hard to find sibling outfits that match. (SIDE NOTE: I hope that there isn't going to be a rush of new brother and sister outfits flooding Etsy) ;-)

What was your goal for 2010? And are you on the right track for 2011?

100% customer satisfaction is always my goal. So far so good!

"Anything cutesy, fun and frilly comes naturally."
Kim, AddieKatBoutique

Uncomplicated Beauty

2011-01-19T22:11:00.000-05:00

With some of the best pictures you'll find on Etsy, Neisha's Blue displays uncomplicated beauty! Please read on to learn more about this exceptional Etsy seller and EtsyBaby team member!

Tell us a bit about yourself and what arts/ crafts that you make?

My name is Neisha, I have been married to a cute cool guy for the last eight years and I am the mother of a little blue who will turn two in April. In addition to being a wife and a mum (like my son calls me) I work outside home in a QVC warehouse as a production planner and I run all aspects of my boutique on my spare time (between four and six hours per day). I Graduated college in 2002 with a degree in Industrial Engineering and completed a master degree in International Management in 2009.

I design flower headbands for cute little girls and everyone that loves them. I love to mix materials, but strive to offer excellent quality and craftsmanship at affordable prices.

Is there anything unique about your product?

I am from a beautiful small island in the Caribbean called Puerto Rico and when I was 9 years old my mom thought me how to weave satin. I personally call it Paris Style, because is elegant and feminine. This headband style does not use any elastic, but it holds to the delicate baby head without causing dents. I have different styles and widths. I recently designed a beautiful baptism headband for a customer and the piece could be placed in a shadow box to keep as a heirloom. It is so delicate and pretty.

How do you make your shop and your product stand out from the others?

Gorgeous images, always relist, use clear descriptions and excellent price points.

What is your favorite item in your shop?

I will say two are my favorites…because those were the ones that launched me to where I am today. One is a silk double flower headband with dainty hydrangeas in Light Pink and Cream and my all time favorite the Antique Pink Double Flower Headband.

What inspires you?

When I was able to commission graphic designer and favorite Etsy artist Stephanie Fizer to create my store logo she asked me the same…three things inspire me…My little Blue, Hydrangeas and Uncomplicated (but elegant) Beauty

Anything else you would like to share?

Being a successful Etsy seller takes time, some tears here and there and a bunch of effort, and many sleepless nights. When you start getting busy, there is no one but yourself doing all, the images, the listings, the relisting, paying the bills, purchasing the supplies, interacting with the customers, taking the stuff to the post office and many other details that I can’t recall, but it is all worth it. Once you have mastered some basics, everything tends to fall in place.

My best advise treat well your customers no matter how challenging they may be. People have embraced handmade because personalize service. If they wanted cold and unfriendly they will go to a local Mall. Educate yourself in CPSIA, we have hard times coming on our way this coming February. We need to be prepared and ready! Much success to all of you!

Neisha's Blue is celebrating love!

Baby Cakes, Sweet Treats, and More

2011-01-12T22:22:00.004-05:00

Priscila, owner and creator of Mod Diaper Cakes, shared a little with us about the baby and shower gifts that she has been crafting since 2009. Here is what we learned about Priscila and her shop:

Tell us a bit about yourself and what arts/ crafts that you make?

I'm a Brazilian girl living in the States for almost 8 years, married to a wonderful husband and mother to a sweet 2 year old named Colleen.

I started making diaper cakes and baby shower gifts in 2009 after my daughter was born, so I could stay at home. A friend of mine told me about Etsy and I decided to give it a try. In the beginning it was hard, but I was determined.

Is there anything unique about your product?

I offer personalized diaper cakes and the customer chooses the colors and the wooden letters for the cake.

Which part of the creation process do you like to do the most?

Definitely going to the store to purchase supplies for a custom order.

What is your favorite item in your shop?

That's a hard question, because I love everything in my shop!

What is your best seller?

Probably the diaper cupcakes.

What was your goal for 2010? And are you on the right track?

My goal was to reach 200 sales by December. I think I'm on the right track and I just need to think outside the box, so I can take my shop to the next level.

What is your favorite tool that you cannot live without?

Paper Punch. I remember when I had to cut 100 tags one by one.

Anything else you would like to share?

Believe in your dreams and never give up.

Zoogits by Zoogits

2011-01-06T06:39:00.000-05:00

Welcome to the dollhouse. And the toolbox. The soft, plush dollhouse and toolbox with a strap. Zoogits has designed and created a versatile and adorable portable house/box - great for carrying princesses, wands, tools, matchbox cars, even snacks or pajamas! We chatted with the creator from Zoogits, and this is what we learned:

Tell us a bit about yourself and what arts/ crafts that you make?

I am a part-time WAHM and part-time SAHM and when I am not making dollhouses I work in my "real" (and much less creative) career. I started on Etsy about 6 months ago making fabric dollhouses and since then my line has grown to include tool boxes and mini purses which I designed myself. I experienced my first very hectic and overwhelming holiday season but still enjoyed every creative minute and am excited to get sewing again after a little break.

Is there anything unique about your product?

I can personalize my toolboxes with names or initials and on the dollhouses I can add furniture or flowers or a bird house or other cute little add-ons that make them one of a kind.

How do you make your shop and your product stand out from the others?

There aren't a lot of other shops that carry my products, but I try to always honor every custom request and work with my buyers to deliver what they are looking for. I am also always shopping for new fabrics and trying new designs and I try to update my listings and postings to be current and to reflect what is going on day to day in my shop.

What is your best seller?

My best seller is the full size dollhouse with carrying strap and my best selling designs are the Disney Princess houses and the Owl themed fabric.

What is your favorite item in your shop?

I really like my new Modern Minnie Mouse design (have to thank a buyer for the inspiration) but I like all of the houses really (like my children, I can't really pick a favorite).

What was your goal for 2010? And were you on the right track?

My goal for 2010 was to sell some of my houses and I have certainly done that and then some! I have far exceeded any expectation of how successful my shop would be and I am tickled pink every time I see a new order and see how my business is growing. It was always my dream to share my creative ventures with others and now that I am doing that I can't wait to see where the future takes me.

A Summer Afternoon

2010-12-29T22:52:00.000-05:00

Classically designed natural wooden toys are making their way back, through the creativity and imagination of A Summer Afternoon. Here is what we have learned this week about this wonderful and unique shop:

We are a husband and wife team, Aaron and Erin, working together to bring back the popularity of classic wooden toys! We make wooden cars, trucks, trains, teethers, craft holders (crayons, etc), ferris wheels, blocks, and whatever else we come up with next!

We love these toys for our 15-mo-old, who is our product tester and also loves them, and we want to provide for the growing number of parents out there who are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with noisy, plastic, battery-operated toys! We design our toys to promote creative and imaginative playtimes!

All of our products are made entirely of wood (except for the metal train hooks), and finished with beeswax or organic flax seed oil, so they are completely child-safe. We also offer personalization on all of our items--woodburning by hand gives it that handmade, one-of-a-kind touch!

My favorite item would have to be our wooden ferris wheel--each one is so intricately crafted out of various hardwoods, and no two are exactly the same...and it is just so fun to spin around!

Our best sellers would have to be our Wooden 4-passenger Bus, and our train. We just got started in August of 2010, but we had a great holiday sales season, and are looking forward to all of the opportunities that 2011 will present.

"You are sure to love the classic design of our cars and trucks as much as you will love the creativity and imagination they inspire!"

Erin and Aaron

Baby Smith by Draft Smith

2010-12-22T22:05:00.000-05:00

This week we are talking to Shawna from Baby Smith by Draft Smith. The items designed and sewn by Shawna include cloth blocks, texture balls, burp cloths and blankets. They are made to be played with by babies, toddlers and children of all ages. The items are all soft and durable, making it a great gift for babies that can last for years. Here is what we learned about Baby Smith:

Tell us a bit about yourself and what arts/ crafts that you make?

I am a Mom of two red headed girls, 17 months and 4 1/2 years, a wife of 6 1/2 years and an architect by trade. I started my Etsy shop a little over a year ago when I was laid off from my architecture job and needed extra income. I specialize in cute gifts for babies and children. Which translates to blankets, burp cloths, blocks balls, soft books and more.

Is there anything unique about your product?

I love custom orders and to personalize, whether that means looking for custom fabrics for a customers tastes or just embroidering names on items.

What is your favorite item in your shop?

I love making this custom letter quiet book. It is always different. I like collaborating with the customer to make it unique for the child receiving it.

What is your best seller?

My friendly monster fabric seems to be my most popular fabric and my 12"x12" blanket my most popular item, in any of the fabrics, and embroidered.

What inspires you?

My girls, I am constantly making them things and coming up with things for them, some of which make it to my shop.

Remembering Emma

2010-12-16T06:38:00.000-05:00

Welcome to Snanimals, where each shoe is handpainted with LOVE.

Jane Perillo, founder and artist of Snanimals, is inspired by her children. She handpaints each adorable little bug, animal, and character with the detail and creativity of a mom creating for a child. Her creations provide Jane with a way to remember and honor her late daughter, Emma, and she believes that Emma lives on in every pair of shoes she creates. In addition, Jane is creating for others something that is fun and practical and that children can wear every day.

The big sellers, according to Jane, are Minnie Mouse, Elmo, Cupcakes, and Ladybugs. Jane enjoys the colorful ones, particularly the green and pink ladybugs and the cows. Along with many different shoes to choose from, Jane also handpaints baby booties, onesies, bloomers, and totes.

Jane's daughter, Anna, is a great and willing shoe model who makes it clear which ones are her favorites! She prefers the sneakers, and she loves Elmo! Anna has quite a shoe collection for a kid!

Follow these links to hear more about her inspiration - her dear Emma.

Sweet Smiles Baby

2010-12-08T20:37:00.000-05:00

Sweet Smiles Baby knows what to do with adorable tushies. Jessica, shop designer and creator, designs and creates custom children's clothing... but her specialty seems to be diaper covers. If you've got any cute bottoms in your life, you'll need to check out Sweet Smiles Baby. Here is what Jessica shared with us about her shop and her products:

Tell us a bit about yourself and what arts/ crafts that you make?

I am a fashion design school graduate and a mom so I combine these passions into creating clothing for little girls.

How do you make your shop and your product stand out from the others?

My Kimono Sweet Bottoms diaper cover is truly a unique product. I designed it, created the pattern and sew each one, finishing the inside with french seams. It takes a long time to make each one, but I really love seeing them completed.

Which part of creation process that you like to do the most?

I love coming up with new ideas and working through creating a pattern in my head so that I can actually make it.

What is your best seller?

My best seller is the black and white polka dot diaper cover that features a giant red bow on the back.

What is your favorite tool that you cannot live without?

My favorite tool would have to be the huge sewing/cutting table my husband built for me.

"Sweet Bottoms are made with great attention to detail"
