A few months ago you might recall I posted this lovely fabric necklace DIY. Since then I’ve only listed a few necklaces on my Etsy and have mostly focused on my terrariums. Within the next month or so I will be amping up my store with tons of jewelry and home decor that I think you will all fall in love with (if I do say so myself!). To get the ball rolling, I’ve started taking custom fabric necklace requests. My good friend Tammy had mentioned she’d love a purple or red necklace, nothing too shiny, and with a chunkier design. Here’s what I created:

If you would like to make a request, please visit my Alchemy page. Depending on your desires, necklaces will range between $10-$20. Thanks for all your support! <3

I’ll take one just like this one. It will look great with my navy blue sweater, white tee and khaki pants. The photos you took are so good. They really display your product very effectively so we can see details and what it would look like when worn. Can’t wait to see your whole collection!

that necklace is beautiful! I’ve actually been thinking and thinking of starting my own etsy shop for things I make (jewelry, aprons, skirts, etc) and vintage clothes, but I’m not sure where to begin–do you have any tips on how to get started??

Hey Renee! I spent a few months participating in their forums and live conferences (in the community section of Etsy) before jumping on board. It really prepared me and gave me a lot of great tips on how to open up shop! I’d definitely check it out. Also, don’t be scared to put yourself out there; it took me quite awhile to get my first sale (still working on that part of it lol), but with diligence and marketing it’ll start picking up!
