Chunky Necklaces!

My daughter loves to accessorize, and is a big fan of the chunky necklaces that are all the rage with little girls.  I've been buying them for her for awhile now, and recently decided I'd start making them for her myself. I spent a lot of time researching techniques, scanning the internet for the cutest beads and pendants, and then went to work.  I've listed a handful in my Etsy shop Star Creek Creations, and will be adding more over the next few weeks as I get new pendants and beads in.  I had no idea how much I'd enjoy picking beads out, putting combos together, and filling my house (and hopefully now yours!) with adorable chunky necklaces.

My Etsy Shop - Star Creek Creations

I've talked about my Etsy shop, Star Creek Creations before, but I have some holiday specific onesies available that I wanted to talk about.  

When I started my shop, I mostly made things that people asked for.  I would get a request, draw it up, make the custom order, and then add it to my shop if it was a design I really liked.  Some of my most popular designs started because of a custom request.  If I had spare time, I'd think of new things I wanted to add, make a one or two to add to my In Stock section and then see how they did.  One of the things that always seems to do well are holiday specific items.  They make an easy baby gift and are fun to do.  

Here are the "spring" holiday onesies I have available in my shop right now.  I have some that are in stock in certain sizes, but they can be custom ordered in whatever size you'd like as well.

Here are a couple "summer" styles.

 And, here are the "fall" onesies.  

Denver Bronco Baby Onesies

A few years ago I opened a shop on Etsy called Star Creek Creations.  I have made and sold 100's of appliqued onesies, as well as T-shirts for kids and adults.  I've been too busy this year to do many custom orders, but have had some instock items available in the shop.  One of my best sellers has always been my Denver Bronco onesie, so I opened up customs for those again recently.  Today I made 10 of them (size Newborn, 0-3 months, and 3-6 months) to keep my Bronco loving customers happy.  My favorite part of making this style is that I typically sell them to people who don't live in Colorado.  

High fives all around for Bronco love all over the United States!  

Here is a little information on how I make my onesies..

-Bronco fabric (or other fabric depending on the design I'm making)

-Lite Double stick fusible web (Lite is the key word...the regular makes the design feel too stiff on a shirt)

-Draw whatever design you are going to be making on the paper side of the web that has the product on it

-Place on reverse side of fabric and cut slightly bigger than the lines of the design

-Iron web onto fabric

-Cut the design out exactly to the lines you drew

-Place on shirt/onesie and iron on

-Sew the edges of your fabric
