Creating A Display Box For Polymer Clay Earrings

[@KellyBellcambridgegiftsbykelly]

Fun! I used to make this type of thing when I was doing craft shows. Pretty. Made me laugh when said your husband asked what you wanted it for. My husband passed 10 years ago,but he loved to go too. He was the opposite though, he would be picking things up saying you could use this! He loved “junk” stores and dollar stores, etc. He even would go with me to meet my guilds, help with displays and have lunch with all the ladies. Happy memories. Thanks for sharing. May make some more - God knows - I have enough things made for more boxes. I have a KZbin channel too, mostly cross stitch now - but there are other things too. I am very eclectic - last video was a needle felled bear head pin. Thanks for sharing and happy crafting. ❤️ 🌸

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

So sorry you lost him , but he left you wonderful memories

[@karenbitter8857]

That is sooooo sweet, you and your girlfriends at the party,and you bringing the earrings to choose from!

[@karenware2013]

You are soo sweet Susan, you overwhelm us with all the beauty that you create and even teach us how to make a beautiful display !!! Thank you so much for all that you share with us. I wish I could live close to you so I could have you for a friend to show all the pretty girly things I make and get free earrings and give you some pretty things Ive made. You are truly a kindred spirit and I have always loved flowers and leaves, especial pink. You inspire me all the time and take my breath away with your creations! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!❤️

[@LtRee96se]

Thank you, once again, for giving me display ideas for my upcoming show. I'll take all the help I can get. : )

[@donnaulibarri4330]

Wow, such awesome ideas! What a great way to recycle - going through my old clothes to make. 🤗💕💕💕

[@empirelogistics4682]

Generosity will always bring back generosity... Susan, I can see there will be a lot of good things in your life in the no far future. Thank you so much for being so generous with all your knowledge, experience and time by doing so much nice tutorials for people!! I´m so thankful to have found your channel and I do apprecciate your tips, techniques, etc. Thank you!!

[@grittykitty50]

I always look for $1 skirts and blouses at the Salvation Army when I want fabric for projects. Love your no nonsense practicality and the idea of making drawer organizers.

[@marniluvi3616]

Wow thank you for showing! How we saved money! In boxes for staff!!

[@krystynasanecka6612]

Hi Susan, Your KZbin channel is my favorite one. Thank you very much.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Thanks 😊

[@lizhummer1280]

I love this!!! I am not a thrift store person, but two times in less than a week I have seen useful craft items made with fabric bought at a thrift store! Guess where I am going next week?!!

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Its addictive !

[@betzie2]

How pretty!!! Snow day here and I am cozied up watching your videos! My hubby never wants to come shopping with me...thank goodness! Lol ❤️🌸

[@doubleblessings-royalcrowr1669]

i totally love watching you create things.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

TY😊

[@EllenJB]

YAY! Now I know what to store my new coasters in, when I finish making them! Thanks!!!

[@alycherry6459]

Loooove this! Thank you Susan!

[@ymanajohnson585]

I love this idea. I've made boxes for years, but never covered them in fabric...I have tons of it. I also like the idea of using stuff from the thrift store. Thank you for the ideas. You are so creative and sensible at the same time.

[@ladybdeloreswhitney_CM_CCH_PCM]

Hi Again, I love this idea for repurposing old jewelry pieces. When I created the decorations for my wedding in 2017, I made decorations with the same components , except I used old brooches that I found at the thrift store. I scattered them around the tables to reflect the candle and tea lights. My colors were Jade, Ivory, and Black. Gold was my metallic. When I do my spring cleaning, I will repurpose clothing to used to give away. Tank you for a marvelous idea.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Oh I love the old jewelry idea that must have been beautiful ! I love clever people like you

[@ladybdeloreswhitney_CM_CCH_PCM]

Clever and Frugal!

[@fortysomethingbadgirls2173]

Love this upcycle idea on fabric and boxes!

[@marionmathews9852]

OMG! I totally love what you made in this tutorial. The box finished with that gorgeous embellishment is pure genius. My mind is racing. I want to make loads! I also love the recycling aspect of your ideas. Thank you so much for sharing

[@annrinaldi-feldman1902]

Another great idea, thanks Susan

[@rlwhite55]

Good idea!

[@rosecorrado6648]

Love, love it all. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

[@joeywd2885]

I love it...going to make some right away and I have some beautiful old rose material that will be purrfect. Thank you so much Turtle Soup Beads. You are so creative with all you do and I just love watching you. Love all your bead work out of clay. Your the best on the Web and I mean that! Have an awesome weekend!

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Thank you ! Your so kind

[@AnkisCreation]

What a lovely idea to use old clothes🥳👏🤗❤️

[@acolley2891]

You are so genuine. I just love your personality.

[@Karibee61]

Brilliant!!!!!! You are a gift that keeps on giving Susan. Thank you so much for another wonderful tutorial. xxx

[@denisewinant6366]

Beautiful. What an idea! Thank you.

[@bjbusick]

I like your idea. Working on a project that needs covered. Instead of buying material, I am going thru my closet. Thanks for sharing!

[@helgama3048]

You inspire me to get going, to look around for materials to recycle, to get off my butt and once and for all start with polymer clay!😄❤️Best regards from Costa Rica 🇨🇷!👋🏻🌞🏝

[@karenbitter8857]

Nevermind, I see now! Thanks for this tut!

[@bonniefaltz9505]

Susan you are so creative! And you have passed on your talent to us all. I have never been so busy making jewelry, because you are such an inspiration. I have made items that I previously thought too difficult, because you also inspire confidence. Thank you so much.

[@pegeen6634]

Susan❣️I always get stuck with the corners! Now that saw this way, I’ll be able to use the info. Thanks❗️ You are very relaxing as you talk us through this and I like how you reuse materials & very ‘easy does it’ attitude. Blessings you you❣️

[@annabr776]

What a fantastic idea! I have made several already. I have been looking for storage boxes for a desk drawer, but all the commercial ones were too big, not to mention expensive. I made some and one of the things I loved most was that I could customize the sizes and use all the space. I am going to be making some more to help organize my craft area. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas with us. You are a life saver!

[@erose6996]

Thanks. Just what I need.

[@Sehara]

Guess what I am making tomorrow! 😂 Thank you so much! I have tons of fabric and your idea and way of how you make it pretty makes me want to make hundreds of boxes lol

[@kimberliebyington5245]

Totally awesome 🥰😎

[@JaneThomas58]

Ingenious!!! Thank you...

[@MsFlame2000]

I made some of these out of burlap and rustic buttons, and put them on tie-backs for my curtains, they are so cute and rustic!!

[@EJPARSONSUK]

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! I so want to make these, and the earring cards. I really hate the idea of putting things to landfill, so these are perfect and so pretty. Love your videos and jewellery ... and love your voice! (I'm from the UK) 😁 Thank you for sharing your fab techniques 🤗😊

[@lilaalabed2527]

Great idea! This makes me think of covering school books with paper shopping bags, only prettier. Thank you for sharing.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Oh I remember that too!

[@janetfayard672]

So creative and clever! Great idea! I can def do this! Thanks so much for posting!💚

[@lalagamma4452]

I adore recycled art!! There are so beautiful!! I want them all over my house! The flowers will look great on journals too! TFS! ❤ ❤xo💜xo💙Namaste💛xo💖xo💚

[@Braedenfish]

My mom used to do this to shoeboxes in the eighties.....she would use EVERY part of the garment. Whatever scraps remained were stuffed in a sock to make dog toy or pillowcase to make dog bed. Also good for stuffing sock snowman.

[@turtlesoupbeads751]

I love your Mom ! Our grandparents used everything I'm trying to bring back that mentality to the millenials

[@Braedenfish]

@@turtlesoupbeads751 Honey hush!!! You're my hero! We throw away a sturdy box we can cover with denim and use as organization Or storage .....then go out and buy bins n baskets for......wait for it....organization and storage! 😂😭 don't know whether to laugh or cry! TFS!!!

[@mizsparkie5479]

Thanks Susan! Great display cards and boxes, you have inspired me! I would love to see some photos of your entire setup at a craft show.

[@turtlesoupbeads751]

I have another video with a small set up I don't do larger displays anymore since the few I do are for fund raisers

[@TheSparklyBeader87]

As I cut down boxes for recycling, I am hoarding the cardboard from the larger boxes for these display boxes and making bead boards! Thank you! 💖🌷💍💎

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Wonderful!

[@artiejohnson703]

That is so funny about what your husband says to you. Mine says that all the time too. Why do you need that, What are you going to use it on. Can’t you wait to buy that later. LoL I also love going to the thrift store. I collect Bohemian bud vases. And I always find them at the thrift stores. They do not know what they have. I have picked them up for.99 cents. They are worth about $25.00 a piece depending on the shape they are in. Thanks for all you do for us & thanks for being a awesome teacher and sharing your talent with us. God Bless You ❤️

[@VaniaJacobs]

Clever, clever, cleaver. I have a ton of the vintage earrings I was going to sell on eBay. I sew, so I’ve got tons of fabric at my disposal. I love lacy and crochet vintage pieces so u r giving me all kinds of ideas. I’m not much of a glue person, so no clue one could use elmers glue on fabric. I recycle everything I can. And I can’t go to a thrift store.... I get too much and my small house can’t handle it. Thank you!

[@lindylittleton4183]

Brilliant idea, to re-use items we all have at home and be more creative. Thanks for sharing

[@vinnydabarber]

I LOVE that flower!!! And the box is pretty sweet too!

[@harmony331000]

Wow, where have you been all my life! Lol thank you for sharing, these are awesome!👏🏼😎 and the display cards too!! You just confiscated my Saturday girl! 😬

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

TY

[@norakaven3705]

Thank you for sharing your ideas with us! Bravo!!!

[@gail2139]

This is very helpful! I also like my display boxes and organizational boxes to be attractive. I've been covering boxes with paper, but the fabric looks much nicer. I've also used ModPodge, but am glad to know of a cheaper alternative with the school glue. I'm happy to learn of the pattern and instructions for making a box. The trim and fun bow are lovely finishing touches. Thank you for sharing your expertise!

[@MHarenArt]

Genius!!! Gosh, I learn so much from you!!

[@anitamitchell6434]

I love those flowers too!

[@muahshell]

[@CindyCompeau]

[@georginabuziak5110]

I think we're twins.........you sound just like me when I try to explain to others why I do what I do..........LOL! Just LOVE your videos........tons of great ideas on not only creating gorgeous items but how to display them in a very unique and pretty way! TY! : )

[@stephanienelson9396]

[@mctron22rd]

I love this! Beautiful! I have so many shirts and fabric, I save because I don't want to throw them away, I am hoping I will fit in them once again, but this is an awesome way to use my fabrics! Thank you Susan! You really are very creative and an artist!

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Even better you kept them because you really liked them so now to give them new life and take the pressure off yourself about fitting into them

[@kayperry7999]

Love, love this idea. I'm glad you have chosen to show us how to make display boxes. You are very crafty and talented

[@cherstillo2322]

Thanks!

[@cherstillo2322]

I enjoy every video you put out. This was a start of finding a use for my paper/stamping adventure, so I made my box and cards for earrings. I found cardboard protectors for baseball cards and stamped them with word definitions. I did have to trim them first, but that was easy. It came w/ 75 longer boards that split in half, so I got 150 cards for the cellophane envelopes. This whole project changed how I can present my jewelry. Beyond that, I love the canes, beads, and jewelry tutorials as well. Thanks for all you do.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Thank you so much. Susan

[@tools4ewebycarolhowe496]

Great Turtorial Susan! Thanks for sharing

[@lesleynitschke6879]

haha love the hubby reference, I leave mine home too for that very reason. Mine does come to the thrift store as he loves looking for old stuff too so it keeps him busy and out of my hair so I can look for the stuff I want :D but never a craft or fabric store

[@christinedutton3825]

I am loving your ideas. Thank you for sharing. This really helps a lot.

[@ItWorksBodyWraps64]

Great idea very pretty!!!

[@fatimaarcaro8979]

You are amazing

[@AngelroseDesings]

cool idea

[@jilllukas]

Love this video!! I need some special size boxes for some stuff. I've been looking for containers & their never the right size. Thanks to you & this video you did; I'm gonna make my own. What I really like is that I can decorate them for my daughters for their taste. You're so Clever!! Now I gotta Hope that I have boxes in my recycling. LOL If not, I just wait til I get more deliveries. Plus I can always ask my brother to get me some from his works recycle bin.😉🙂 I am really Enjoying your videos!! Definitely Learning a lot!! Thank You!! Take Care Susan .. Hugz, Jill🤗😊tfs

[@turtlesoupbeads751]

I make all my organizing stuff from the recycle bin and the thrift store , Only people think I'm kidding !

[@MyBohoChicStyle]

I love this video! Great ideas!

[@Crystalnachi]

You are so very talented. Love the tutorial!

[@Stephanie_Hancock]

Yes, yes, yes!

[@batya7]

For the flower, if you take the fabric strip, fold it over, and machine baste that edge you glued, then you can pull on the basting strings to lightly gather or shir the edge. That's a trick eliminating the need to form pleats as you glue it to the felt backing.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

That's a great idea

[@silverguardiancreations2014]

Love your tutorials liked your comment doing it your way.

[@craftylittlerthings]

Great idea. I’ve been crafting since I could hold a pencil, that been a long time as I just turned 61 the other day lol! Also like you I’m a hoarder, so we are now looking to move house so my husband can build me an outside studio. He says my ‘mess’ always ends up creeping out the door lol Well im not going to stop now! Keep on crafting I say xxx

[@Braedenfish]

Thank you for sharing!

[@ChristineJonah88]

You're so stinking clever! I have alot of thrift stores around me, but I should shop in my closet first lmbo!

[@debbeechy]

I like thrifting too. Michaels and Hobby Lobby an hour away from me. I saved a velvetta cheese box to cover.

[@Wildevis]

Lovely idea as I have so many pieces of scrap fabric I am hoarding lol. I also have many old bling buttons I will NEVER use again and this is the perfect thing for repurposing them as well :-D

[@annnoyez]

My husband live to help me hoard... lol... we live thrifstores and artstores. Sometimes he comes home wit some old jewelry or artsupplies... lol

Yes just uploaded that video too

[@JennsCorner777]

HI! Thank you for another great video!! So unrelated but I always watch your fun videos and wonder, are your nails gel or acrylics or polish? They always look so beautiful! PS. I have gone to thrift stores to look for fun fabrics solely for repurposing in crafts like this, purses, memo boards, I've even use them to decorate hair accessories.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Great ideas my nails are gel polish so they last for weeks

[@petracabanas6115]

Niiiiice!!!
