Working on a large publicity job for a client and as I started counting all these ornaments, it rapidly became clear I was going to run out of wood. 😳

A quick Google search, phone call, and a trip down to Springfield to visit a new supplier, and I’m all set for a while! Thank you, OP Hardwoods for coming to my rescue! 😍

I’ve decided to jump into the craft supply / wholesale space with these beads – offering packs from 10 – 500 on my website now. Relatively small limited run – when they’re gone, they’re gone.

These make an excellent addition to your Christmas ornament gifts as well as stocking and gift tags!

Available to purchase here.

I cut some pins to hold these ornament beads in the laser in order to add the year to them – and it worked out so well! These are a great way to add a year to an ornament if wanted – or leave it off, if not wanted. I’ll have a few of these available at the craft fair next Saturday (10/22). Come see me and check them out!

Band Mom Earrings https://carraboucrafts.com/2022/09/30/band-mom-earrings/ https://carraboucrafts.com/2022/09/30/band-mom-earrings/#respond Sat, 01 Oct 2022 02:30:00 +0000 https://carraboucrafts.com/?p=3711

I’m volunteering at my daughter’s school tomorrow for the band competition, but I don’t have any school spirit wear yet (it’s on order, but won’t arrive in time), so I whipped up these fun earrings to wear instead. These are hand painted with the school colors and should pair perfectly with tomorrow’s festivities.

I was going to get my laser cutting on yesterday, but it was 97° … and today is 56° … a much nicer temperature to sit outside and make the things.
