That would be adorable....I'm horrible at painting though. It would look cool with pictures. Thanks for the idea.

My niece made these for her booth at the flea market a few weeks ago to go with the dresses she makes also. I believe she sold amost 45 in one day, and 25 the next day. You have to be flexible with your pricing. The more one customer purchased, the cheaper the base price. It worked good and was very successful. She is getting ready now for the next flea market. they make great stockign stuffers for girls and boys. change the type of ribbon/leather you are using for the boys when you are doing necklaces or bracelets.

I was thinking of purchasing some necklaces too. I like the magnet idea of it and thought it would be neat to put a washer on the necklace so the magnet can be swapped out.

I suppose you could cut circles of fabric to put on them also, couldn't you?

I found some pictures that were sized right to cut them and made some with the kids.
Fabric??? Huh...maybe you could do a tiny hand embroidery in one and put the glaze over it.

Very Nice. I have made some of gthese for the GK. I have also used the small glass tiles. The kids really like them. Never did a craft show, but I am sure they would sell very well!
