Wrap bracelets

Hello lovelies!

Today I thought I would show you some new bracelets i have been working on. I love any wrap/tie on bracelets, and I was so glad to finally find the right materials here in Aus to make them!

They are so easy to put on, just wrap around your wrist, tie and then tuck in the ends. Charms can be moved around gently to suit.

 I have made these ones with polyester ribbon, and they are lovely and soft.  

I have found online though someone who hand dyes silk for these, and of course I had to buy them! Can't wait to get them as they come in such beautiful colours. 

These are available at my Gypsy Creations facebook page, or on my Etsy store, and I am more than happy to do custom orders. :)

Till next time.

Gypsy Creations

Hey all!
I have just realized, even though my blog is called Lacquer and Leather, I haven't actually shared any of my jewellery for ages!  Well that is about change.  ;)
For those who don't know, I have been making jewellery for just over a year. It all started from me first making a zipper bracelet like this...
I shared it on my profile on Facebook, had quite a few orders for them, and it has just taken off from there.  I officially started Gypsy Creations in April 2012, and haven't looked back!  
It's perfect for me, as I can work around my sons school hours, and various therapy appointments. 
While I mainly sell on my Facebook page,  I have started listing a few items on Etsy as well.


Here are a few other items I have made recently.

I love to make custom items, so if you are after something special, feel free to contact me via Facebook, or at funnylildancer@gmail.com .

Beads beads everywhere

Well, I had planned on doing my New Years Eve nails today, but I got sidetracked by all the new beads I bought last week, and ended up making..

I got sidetracked by all the sparklies!  ;)

I sell my creations mainly on my Facebook page at Gypsys Creations.

Ok I am off to do my NYE  nails.. I don't know why, its not like I actually go anywhere for NYE anymore.. lol    I have my polish all picked out though, I decided I want my nails to reflect how I would like this coming year to be..  piccies soon!!  ;)

Revlon Galaxy

Hi and welcome to all my new followers!  I have just hit 50, so have decided to have a lil giveaway to celebrate.  There is 5 awesome polishes to win!  Check out the post below to enter.  I will also be making a page for it so the giveaway will be easier to find.  :)

Today I have on my nails a polish I had been lemming over for quite a while, and finally managed to score a bottle!  Revlon's Galaxy... sigh.  I will let the awesome polish speak for itself.

Excuse the odd angles and blurriness on some of the pics, I was trying to capture all the glitter.  Galaxy is classed as a top coat, so I have layered it over OPI Ink.  if you can ever find Galaxy, don't hesitate to buy it, its more amazing than pictures can show.

Oh, and as most if you know, I also make jewellery.  I am currently having an auction to clear out some of my older stock, and support my nail polish habit.  ;)

You can check out the auction album here.

Nail polish jewelry

Hey all!  Hope you have had a great weekend.  I have spent mine making jewelry, mainly nail polish jewelry.

I just love making these... so fun and you can wear your favourite nail polish all the time.  :)

So many things been happening over the past few weeks.. as usual I have been forgetting to post!  So no big surprise there..  ;)

Hubby and i had our 10 year wedding anniversary, he bought me a lovely leather double wrap Pandora bracelet!  Yay!

Last week was our sons 8th birthday.. we had a great family dinner at Fasta Pasta (sons favourite restaurant  lol).  He got spoilt rotten, over $200 in birthday money plus a Nintendo 3DS from us.

So much has happened since he was born.. a few house moves, then city moves, and then a move to another country!  He has handled it all so well, very proud of our boy.  :)

Then weekend just gone was my cousins 30th birthday party.  It was a costume party, I went as a 1920's flapper, something I have always wanted to dress up as!  Son went as Batman, and hubby as an American.. lol

Been busy making a few things, here's some piccies of the latest....

Yay i finally have the craft drill i need to finish making my zipper bracelets.. here is my first completed bracelet!

I'm very happy with how it turned out, can't wait to make a bunch more.  :)

Bracelets, bracelets and more bracelets!

I have started making  my own bracelets, and i'm pretty happy with the response i have had about them so far. So much so, that i'm going to start making more to sell online.

Above is a pic of one i have made for myself.. this is a double wrap zipper bracelet. Or triple wrap, if you have a very small wrist.. which i do not.  ;)

I have made a Facbook page to start selling these from..  Gypsy's Creations.

I should be able to start selling them in a week or so.. I will also have various other styles for sale.

Excited!  :)
