I’ve found a couple more on amazon which are very reasonable ‘The Crafty Minx’ by Kelly Doust above, which shows you how to make gorgeous things from preloved, remnants and vintage items.
It’s written especially for non-crafters who are desperate to be more creative but don’t know how.
It’s also only £7.50
Another book, shown below, is ‘The Handmade Marketplace’ by Kari Chapin which is how to see your crafts locally, globally and online, and is a mere £4.62 !!!!!!!!
Hope these help girls.
Well, if we are all going to start making home made, then maybe a few pence in our pockets for selling them online would no go amiss.
‘How to Sell your Crafts Online’ by Derrick Sutton is a book available from all good book shops.
Not only does it explain where and how to see your home made products but it also teaches you now to make your crafts stand out from the crowd, and then successfully sell online.
You’ll learn how to write fail safe product text, take perfect pictures and how you can make the most of the tools available on the well known Etsy website.
And, while your in the mood for buying a book then you must have also look at ‘Home made, Gorgeous things to Make with love’, by Ros Badger and Elspeth Tompson it has 101 beautiful and useful craft projects you can make.
You can change an outfit in a second with vintage buttons. They can have just the same effect as a lovely scarf and for half the price.
I’ve changed buttons on jackets, blouses and cardigans for years and have a number of different styles of black cardigans that come out each winter with different buttons on them.
You can purchasee vintage buttons on ebay or my favourite shop is Duttons for Buttons in Harrogate, which has a stock of over 12,000 buttons, they also do a mail order service.
I have also bought a cardigan in a charity shop for the buttons and put some others on it then given it back to the charity shop.
My jackets buttons change every year. This year the skin look was big and I got a number of different styles in it from a company on EBay and Vinted.
Plain coloured blouses, in particular white or black, can look so different with a lovely button on it even if you only change the top button and the sleeve buttons.
I’ve even changed a few buttons on my husbands shirts to give them a new look.
