Monday Morning Post

It is ten minutes til' 7:00a.m. and I am drinking a chocolate boost, while searching for packaging supplies on Etsy and wishing for sleep.   The zpack I am taking for bronchitis has kept me awake since 9pm.  Funny during the day it made me sleepy, I would nap for a couple of hours, wake up for a little while and go back to sleep. 

There are so many packaging ideas and resources available. I am trying to find my look for my business. Something simple, yet eye-catching that screams "Mardi Robyn!" I haven't found it yet, but I will.

Blues, browns, stickers, duct tape, washi tape, ribbon, organza bags, I like it all but I have not figured out just what my branding style is when it comes to packaging my jewelry.

Do you sell handmade items on the world wide web? Any packaging tips you would like to share? I would enjoy reading them!  I like gaining new ideas.

Unusual Adjustable Rings

 

I posted these pictures on my Instagram (@mardiRobyn) over the weekend but I wanted to share them here in case you do not follow me on Instagram and have not seen them.

 

To me they are a bit unusual and at first I hesistated to put them on the web since they are so different, but hey isn't that what fashion is about? I like them!  The circles backings are made of acrylic, the decorations are actual stickers that have been secured to the circle base and I will be adding a few coats of sealer so that the sticker stays in place. The rings are adjustable.

 

What do you think?

 

 

 

Orange Leopard Print Heart Sticker on a Blue base.

 

Cute Blue Owl on a Yellow Glitter Base.

 

Green Music Notes and Pink Treble Clef Music Symbol on a Black Glitter base.  This ring is my favorite!

 

 

I add the finishing touches to these rings, photograph them and list them for sell in my shop sometime this week or the first of next!

 

 

God Bless,

  Mardi Robyn

DIY Tutorial: Anchor Cameo Adjustable Rings

For today's DIY Tutorial I am going to show you how to make these adorable and trendy Anchor Cameo Antique Bronze Adjustable rings. They are super simple and it doesn't take long at all.

 

For this project you will need:

 

1. Clean Surface

2. Cutting Board

3. Anchor Cameos

4. Adjustable Ring Base

5. Super Glue





 

                                       

 

You can use any  cameo's, I like the looks of the Anchor ones. I also have lady face cameo adjustable rings available for purchase in my shop www.MardiRobyn.com   

 

You can find the supplies on Etsy or Ebay.   Personally I love using "Ingredients for Lovely" shop on etsy to buy my antique bronze adjustable ring bases.  The seller is super friendly, shipping is fast, and the quality of her supplies are wonderful! I have bought supplies from her shop multiply times. Which reminds me I need to place another order soon!

 

The adjustable ring bases pictures are 25 x 20mm in size. The Cameos are 18mm x 25mm in size. The cameos are made of resin!

Like I said this tutorial is super easy, and you can find the supplies on Etsy and even Ebay. I purchased some Anchor cameos from there not to long ago. 

 

Superglue can be purchased at a number of places. The yellow was purchased at Dollar General and the black tube came in a four or five pack at Wal-Mart. It can be found in the hardware department. I have been using both kinds for months and I like it. It is sturdy and holds up very well!

 



The next step is easier than baking a cake!  Holding the ring by the ring that goes on your finger. Add super glue to the oval base of the ring.  Next places the cameo evenly onto the ring, try not to superglue your fingers together!  Press the cameo onto the ring base with your finger for 10-20 seconds.  Let air dry over night and viola you have yourself a brand new trendy ring!  I told you this was a super simple tutorial!

Which color is your favorite?  I like the pink and black anchor! I made one for myself!  Don't have the time to make one yourself?  No problem! I will be listing these rings in my shop by the end of the week!  www.MardiRobyn.com

Don't forget to join the mailing list, like Mardi Robyn on facebook, and follow along on Twitter and Instagram. You will get exclusive coupon codes, sneak peaks and a lot more!

God Bless,

Mini Christmas Bow Adjustable Rings

I want to get into the habit of posting tutorials!  I love reading blogs that have diy tutorials and I love coming up with ideas and making crafts, so why not start posting tutorials.. 

 

For this tutorial I want to show you have to make cute adjustable rings using mini Christmas gift bows!

I sell these in my etsy shop and have had positive feedback!

Glitter Red Bow Adjustable Ring

You will need the following supplies:

~ Mini Christmas Bows

~ Adjustable Ring Base

~Superglue

~ Fingernail File (or sandpaper)

~Scissors

~Felt (Optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

 Prep-Time

1.  Using your fingernail file or sandpaper, file over your adjustable ring base a few quick times. This helps the adhere the bow to the ring base once the superglue is applied.

2. Next take one of your bows, on the back is the paper you usually peel off to stick to a package, you will want to neatly trim it to where the paper is more rounded on the back.  You can also cut the entire paper backing off and secure a felt circle to the back using your superglue for a more polished look, like you would do if you were making a hair bow using decorative flowers.

3. After you have filed the adjustable ring base and trimmed the paper from the back of the bow it is time to do the final step in making your ring!

4.  Using your superglue apply to base pad of the adjustable ring and add the back of the bow to the pad of the ring.  You might need to apply a little dab of superglue to the back of the bow as well.

Let dry and you have yourself a pretty cute bow ring! 

Simple and easy to make for you and your friends!
