Successful Jewelry Party

Last Friday the Jewelry Party was a success! By success I mean I nearly sold out. I need to restock inventory on jewelry pieces and I need to restock on bead supplies because I'm running kind of low! This is exciting because I haven't felt this type of rush since I was a teenager. I'll be doing this a lot more often because I cleaned up! Even my daughter who co-hosted the event made $10 and an additional $5 on the next day from the pieces she created herself! She's been talking about it with all her friends and she keeps on trying to make more jewelry to sell. 

Unfortunately we're only doing this 2xs a month or just once a month depending on product development. The next day all I did was fill those orders and I didn't realize how much I already understood how to do already!

We only had 2 customers but those 2 customers meant everything. My 3rd and 4th customers didn't participate in the live events but they might next time because I did some really cool Giveaways. I gave away 1 pair of earrings and a picture I created in Adobe Illustrator. Both of my winners were very happy to be winners!

My objective going in was to show my daughter exactly how to do this although I was learning myself. The bible says "Train up a child in the way they should go even when they are old they will not depart from it". (Proverbs 22:6) I wrote this in a previous article about helping children understand how to have a vision for their lives. If you'd like to read that Click Here and learn more about how to use allowance and teach your child how to become an entrepreneur with a plan!

I also learned something myself, and that was to never let fear stand in the way of my progress. Imposter Syndrome got the best of me ever since I recognized that I needed to do a jewelry party to succeed at this, and I feared doing an incentive, I feared investing to create more. I feared for no reason it seems now, and I am sad that I waited so long before taking the leap of faith I did and sold the items that I already had. I should've done this a long time ago because it sure would've helped! 

Other customers who couldn't exactly get their hands on a particular design ended up ordering custom colors in the same design! Here are a few of my other creations that I made custom for other orders!

If you would like to place your custom orders with me you can view the video from Friday take down any numbers of the designs you'd like in any other colors, and shoot me a text by downloading my digital business card here👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

How to make a Hair Bow Tutorial

It has probably been a very long time since my last post, so I decided to do something EXTRA special this time, and it's taken me over a month to just have the nerve to post.

In this tutorial I teach how I make a hair bow. Now if it were up to me my daughter would have over a billion of these things in her bow box, but she's lost so many of my bows that I'm just going to secure her hair bows onto her head using a scrunchy instead of a barrette clip. I will show how to do that in another video someday.

To make a hair bow the first thing you need are the materials which include:

• Ribbon
• Needle and Thread
• Barrette Clip 
• Scissors

Step 1: Overlap the ribbon and cut where desired.

Step 2: Take the back of the ribbon and bring it to the center back of the overlap. Begin to stitch in an in and out motion (in almost a basting stitch) going upwards to scrunch the bow.

Step 3: Pull the thread through and wrap it around the center of the bow once and then put the needle right through the center of the bow to keep it secure. Repeat until you feel it is secure and tight in the bow shape, and now secure the back with a stitch. and cut the thread.

Step 4: Cut more of your ribbon about an inch and a half down. I measured visually when I cut this center piece! Then with the inch and a half ribbon fold it in half wrong sides together and fold it around the center of the bow to make a center piece for the bow.

Note: Make sure to fold down the edges of the ribbon to hide the part where you cut.

Step 5: Take the inside of your barrette clip out and put that part to the side. Make sure that you fold the edges of your center piece over the barrette clip and sew it down.

Step 6: Once you've sewn your center piece around the barrette clip you may notice that your barrette slides back and forth on the bar of the clip. To prevent this from happening sew through the holes on both sides of the clip and secure it to the ribbon so it won't move.

Step 7: After you've secured both sides of the bow to to the clip you put the center of the clip back inside of the clip where it belongs so that it can open and close and be functional. Fluff out your bow and now you have a hair bow!

Step 8(optional): For design purposes I decided to cut a triangular shape at the bottom of  the ribbon so that it can look a little more decorative. You don't have to do this step unless you want to.

I really enjoyed making this bow as I do with other bows. In the future I'll show you other variations that I do. In case you feel you've missed a step here is the video for the tutorial that I just wrote this article on! I don't know how many of these I'll be doing per month in the future. I'm trying to just go with the flow of everything. Please comment, share, and subscribe to my channel! Blessings!

Jewelry Party

I am so excited to share that I am having my first EVER Jewelry Party! After nearly a week of not knowing where things will be held the host finally called me back and told me that the party will be held at Nancy's Pizza @Camp Creek and it will be on a Saturday October 21 at 3pm. I would be excited if everyone would come and support during this time. I will be live streaming the event, so that everyone can hang out with me and see the merchandise and party.

With great excitement I look forward to this event, however I must prepare myself for this event. Monday I went to Goodwill to see what I could find and I found a whole beading kit for 2.95. Even though this was a bargain there's no way that would be enough to create tons of merchandise for a jewelry party. I also came across some really beautiful remnants. I found some blue floral lace, some red and even some pink. I intended on going to Goodwill in the first place to find a few fabrics and I came out with 3 remnants, and a bead kit, for all of $17. I've done worse in the past and that was pretty good. I still have $40 to spare and I'm determined that all of it is going towards my jewelry party! I'm not changing my mind and I'm not going to shift gears. This is important to me, and I'm going to enjoy myself.

It's a real blessing when someone sows into you, and I'm going to make sure that I do something nice for Deaconess Crawford for hosting my event. One thing my mother taught me to do is say Thank you, and I've been doing it since she first made the suggestion to host a jewelry party for me. It's so important to keep your connections with people because you just never know what they are capable of. I've spoken to Mrs. Crawford several times in church about spiritual and business things way before this came up, and I'm thankful that I keep my relationships with people.


Here are just some of creations I made when I came home from Goodwill. I had to crack open that kit! I was really surprised that I found something like that at Goodwill. I thought it would be the first thing gone, but I was lucky enough to find it and just in time for this Jewelry party this month! Most of the beads in the kits I'll either use for small earrings or fillers for necklaces. I posted a Slide Show on YouTube for my viewers so you can follow the video link and subscribe to my channel. I don't post on it often but I do post on there from time to time and show some of my work

I would love to have a good turn out for this party. I'm going to check out how she does this one and see if I can pretty much do my own without having to depend on so much. I can't promise to make reservations at a place like Nancy's Pizza again, but I can try to do something for myself. It's just such a toss up holding a jewelry event and I'd much rather pay to vend than to pay to vend at a party that I host because it is so expensive.

The YMCA on Campbellton Rd will be holding a Fall Festival on October 31 and I'm going to Register for one of the free tables. Usually when you register to vend at an event they charge $25/table. This time it's free and it's important that people like me take advantage of opportunities like this. I'll buy some candy and give that out since I don't have a car to Trunk the candy in, and that way I have something nice for parents and children alike.

If you are interested in following me to any of these events please feel free to do so. I take Cash and Card so please come and enjoy yourself with us!
