Valentines!
Last year I made some cards, which did not sell, at all : ( They were my first adventure on Etsy, and it was really very sad for me, lol! I learnt by it though, well I think I have, and this year I realised that simply doing cards for me was not an option.
So I thought about it a bit more, and more, and it was only yesterday morning that the ideas I’d been working on suddenly came together.
What do I make, well I make lots of different things, but my biggest sellers are bags and corsages, so how could I work with that, well I don’t think people are going to buy bags, but men may buy a corsage for their loved one, but how could that work? I have plenty of corsages for sale, but not much moving at the moment, so aha! Heart shaped ones, duh!
So to cut a long story short, you don’t want to hear about me pulling apart interfacing from felt, not recommended! This is what I have come up with!
A double whammy, not just a lovely card, but a corsage/brooch too!
So the man in your life need not worry about getting a card and a present, he can do it in one hit!! Woohoo! The man in my life will be photographing these later, as we currently have the clouds of dismal weather on top of us! I hope to get them up on Etsy later today or tomorrow at the latest!
In case you are interested they will be $17 and will come in a lovely craft paper type envelope, and will be wrapped for extra protection : )

they are lovely.. good luck with them. I have just joined etsy and have yet to sell something. I have bags for sale and cards. Guess patience and constant reviewing is the way to go.. good luck with these!

they are great – I’ve been making these for a while, just for family (my youngest daughter has one with her age on for every year so far!) and thinking about doing some to sell. Hope they go well for you

This looks great – have been doing something similar myself with earrings. Now there’s a thought – have you ever considered felted earrings? I don’t know the first thing about felting but I think they could look rather cute.
Good luck with Etsy.
