Personalized Baby Shower Wildflower Seed Packet Favors

Trying to decide what favor to give guests at your baby shower? These matchbook style wildflower seed packets are a good choice for party favors because they include wildflowers that will reseed themselves at the end of their growing season. Your guests will have beautiful flowers without having to plant them every year. It's a gift that keeps on giving!

These party favors can be personalized with information such as the mother's name, date of event, a graphic, and message. By default, they are printed on white card stock but can be printed on blue, pink, or green.

Pittsburgh Steelers or Penguins Themed Braided Leather Bracelet

As I mentioned in my previous post, I have new colors of leather cord. My boyfriend's favorite sports teams center around Pittsburgh. He is a huge fan of the NFL football team, Pittsburgh Steelers, and the NHL ice hockey team, Pittsburgh Penguins. He requested that I handcraft a bracelet using the colors of black, white, yellow. With this inspiration in mind, I handcrafted a bracelet by braiding 1mm leather cord together.

NEW Colors of Leather Bracelets

I knew it would only be a matter of time until I invested in more colors of leather cord. I already have black, blue, brown, marigold, mint green, red, and white. Today, I am featuring the classic style leather bracelet that I handcrafted in the new colors of green, hot pink, light pink, and yellow.

Now that I have 11 colors of leather cord, it should not make choosing a bracelet color a daunting task. A lot of customers buy bracelets based on their favorite color(s). While some customers buy bracelets because it represents their school colors, others buy bracelets to show support for a specific cause or celebration.

Red Leather Bracelet w/Gun Metal Findings

A couple weeks ago, I received a request from a customer who wanted black or dark gray findings on his bracelet. After doing some research, I discovered that gun metal would be suitable for the project. Gun metal varies in different lighting situations. It ranges from a very dark gray to almost black in color. I believe gun metal complements the red leather very well.

I can also handcraft this bracelet using another color of leather instead of red.
