Happy Valentines Day

This year for Valentines Day I made jewelry to sell for people to buy their loved ones. So far I only sold one pair of earrings to a coworker. That's okay though I didn't expect to sell any since I raised my prices. It was more for the pleasure in making it! I also found a neat way to make your own display case using a trunk, glue gun, and some ribbon. I googled "Making your own jewelry displays" and this was one idea I found. So, I just wanted to share my craftiness with you!

The trunk I found at Goodwill for $3.99
I got v-day ribbon from Ben Franklins which I may replace 
My first homemade jewelry display
Ta-da! The finished product.
Well thanks for letting me share this with you! If you're interested let me know. Prices range from $10-$40. Hopefully I can sell more so I can do something for myself on Valentines Day!
