Coming Soon.. Fabric Smartphone Case Tutorial

Hello all,

Christmas certainly is fast approaching, and I've found myself doing pretty good business in my Etsy shop. I just received a custom order for a smartphone case, which led me to think of what my next tutorial should be on! You guessed it! The next DIY tutorial will be on how to make your very own smartphone case.

Again, it's a very easy project where you will only need a few supplies and basic sewing skills, and just a little bit of time. These also make terrific Christmas gifts!

 Here is a pic of the one I just custom made and shipped out today.


This phone case is padded with fleece to protect your cherished device. It has a fold over flap that closes with Velcro. It also works perfect for iPods. It will fit the iPhone, the Galaxy S3, the Android phones and anything else of similar size!

I can't wait to get started on that tutorial, and will be posting it very soon!

Until then,

XoXo,

Sara

Christmas/Winter-Themed Items

Hi all!

Christmas is fast approaching, so I've been making some Christmas/Winter themed items! I'll share one.

Here's a cute zippered bag that can be used as a pencil pouch, cosmetics bag, or to carry anything your heart desires! It would be a great children's gift as well. It comes in three different sizes: Small, medium, and large. Made from two cute fabrics (sky blue with white polkadots and festive reindeers and Christmas trees) red ric rac trim for accent, and a matching red zipper!
 

The inside lining matches!

 

If you're interested in buying, here's a link to it on my Etsy shop!

I've also made a matching little girls two-tiered skirt that I will share soon!

Until next time!

Wrappings and Packagings

Hi all and happy Friday!
 
I'd like to share some of the cute ways I package my shop items to send them off to their new destination! Some of them may look similar, but each one is always unique. When someone orders something from my shop I like to show my appreciation by making the packaging super pretty and unique, that way it's like getting an extra gift!
 
I hand make thank you tags decorated with pretty sequins, I use pretty twine, paper or fabric flowers, buttons, and anything else I can use to make it look nice. 
 
I always get great feedback on my packaging, and I love to know that it's appreciated and that it brightens ones day!
 
This weekend I'll be working on a DIY tutorial for easy cute fabric snack bags! All that's needed is simple sewing skills.
 
Until next time!
 
XoXo,
 
Sara

My Makes and My Metal Heart

Hi all,

I'd like to share a couple of my makes in this post and a link to my Etsy shop if you want to browse more of my stuff. I make so many different things, it's almost out of hand!

Below is a pic on one of my best sellers on Etsy. Reusable fabric snack bags! Not only that, this chevron print is so wanted right now you can practically sell anything made with this pattern. 

These snack bags are also going to be my first DIY sewing tutorial! They are super easy to sew and take very little time and materials.



Here is a glimpse at some of the jewelry I make. I've been making jewelry for several years now and I'm constantly learning different techniques and trying new styles. This necklace is one of my favorites.

And here is a link to my Etsy shop!

I'm Sara, owner of Etsy shop "My Metal Heart", and welcome to my new craft blog. This is where I'll be showing what I've made, what I'm making, and how I make it. I hope to soon add some very simple DIY tutorials. I made everything from jewelry and home décor to girls dresses, clutch bags, totes, and fabric accessories such as headbands, business card holders, etc.

I have a lot to share, and I can't wait to share it with everyone. To start here is ONE of my work areas where I make items from my shop. My office is way more messy!

I plan to post another blog entry very shortly. Hang with me.

XoXo,

Sara
