More Charm Bracelet Crafting!

I've been crafting more suede leather charm bracelets lately, after the success of the first one. They are really fun to make and versatile to wear! The best part is selecting charms and gemstones that go well together and deciding the charm bracelet pattern =D

Here's an update on another one I just completed! This charm bracelet is Christmas-themed, with silver-plated charms of a candy cane, snowflake, angel, a heart and an ornate cross used. For gemstones, I used Rose Quartz (stone of love and giving), Snow Quartz, and Fancy Jasper. I also included an Opalite magatama, a curved, comma-shaped bead from prehistoric Japan that is believed to bring good luck.

This one will be posted up for sale soon, so keep a lookout for it if you are interested! Alternatively, if you want to create a customized charm bracelet, I would love to help you create a beautiful bracelet you'd be proud to wear anywhere!

Secondhand Bazaar Sale Success!

The bazaar sale last Saturday to sell off my secondhand clothes and books went really well! As I posted earlier, I did a major spring-cleaning of my room early this month and found a ton of clothes that I no longer wanted. I also found a whole container of books from my primary school days! So, I decided to sell them off at a bazaar sale at *SCAPE, Level 4.

My mom gave me a bunch of her secondhand clothes too the night before the bazaar sale. I didn't have time to go through her items, so I just put them all into a big bag and left. I got a surprise when I unpacked the clothes during the booth set-up!

I texted her to report my "finding" and she said to give it away to any kid who likes it. *shrugs*

Unfortunately my clothes took up all the space on the table, so I had to place the jewellery display on a chair.

Overall, I did really well! I managed to clear about one-third of my books and clothes, covering rental and earning a fair bit. The customers were mainly maids and aunties looking for good deals on clothes and accessories. Towards the closing hours of the bazaar, people were lowering their prices in order to sell off more goods. There was this group of ladies selling their secondhand clothes who were shouting "4 items for $2! 4 for $2!!!" I couldn't bear to part with my clothes for such a low amount so I didn't lower my prices that much.

Having said that, I still have lots of clothes and books left! Another bazaar sale might be in order ;-)

Oh, and before I forget - I did give away Mr. Tiny Bear! His new owner is a cheerful baby boy. His maid bought an army cap from me and I got to play with him. He was so adorable I couldn't resist and gave him the bear!

Moonfire Charms Bazaar Sale at *SCAPE, 23 February!

Hello! Moonfire Charms will be holding a bazaar sale at *SCAPE, this coming Saturday, 23 February at Level 4, Sky Terrace. Other than our always fashionable jewellery, I'm also selling off my pre-owned/pre-loved clothes and books!

As part of my New Year's Resolution, I decided to go minimalist this year and get rid of my pre-owned/pre-loved clothes (that, and my room was really running out of space!). Along the way, I also discovered a whole container full of books that I've accumulated since my primary school days! A good friend advised me to sell off my clothes instead of just throwing them away, which I normally do. I thought that was a great idea, thus the bazaar sale on Saturday!

A few pieces of the clothes I have for sale!

Clothes will be going for $5-$15, and the books will be going from $0.50-$10. So if you're keen on grabbing a good deal, remember to drop by *SCAPE this Saturday, 2pm-8pm! See you there!

Suede Leather Charm Bracelet Crafting!

Recently, I bought some wraparound suede leather charm bracelets, thinking that they would make a great addition to my store collection. These wraparound charm bracelets were made popular by stars like Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan and Rachel Bilson.

However, when the charm bracelets arrived, the charms on them looked too cheap for my liking. Here's what the original bracelet looked like:

I decided to remake the charm bracelets the Moonfire Charms way - with gemstones included! With an ocean theme in mind, I picked out the following charms. The gemstones used were Turquoise, Sodalite, Snow Quartz and Angelite. The charms include a toggle and clasp - I tried wearing the bracelet but I found that the bracelet kept coming out unwrapped. With the toggle and clasp, the bracelet should be much more secure!

After about an hour or so, here's the final product! I must say, it does look good!

What's more, I got to recycle the original charms! I used the original charms to craft a charm necklace for a special little girl. She picked out the charms she liked, and I made the necklace and gifted it to her. She absolutely loved it!

The ocean themed charm bracelet will be on sale soon, keep a lookout for it! In the meantime, I'll be having fun crafting more charm bracelets! I already have more themes in mind ;-)
