Jewellery Club | Donut Quest

It's that time of the month again where we finally get to share with you this months jewellery club. This months theme was of course Donuts! Because all good things are deep fried and covered in sugar right?! 😆🤔 I put a little twist on this theme and drew a unicorn donut as well as a kitty donut too! But before we go into that lets take a quick look at the listing image....

Ta dahhhhh! Look at all the pastel iced goodness.

Now I'm not going to sugar coat this 😆 But this has to be one of my favourite themes we have ever done. It was truly a pleasure to make this collection and produce such a sweet jewellery set. Don't take my word for it! Let's have a look at some of the pictures!....

Isn't it lush?! So in this set I created
-Rainbow Unicorn acrylic necklace with satin bow (RRP £15)
-Mini Cat donut acrylic stud earrings (RRP £6)
-Triple donut adjustable ring (RRP £6)
-Rose Gold pink donut earrings (RRP £7)
-Set of four metal 1" donut pins (RRP £5)
- A sprinkle of magic!

Okay I seriously can't pick a favourite from this month! The unicorn necklace is just amazing! The kitty studs are so cute and the perfect size for everyday wear, the ring instantly makes any outfit super Kawaii! I love the rose gold colour on the donut earrings and the pins are perfect for pimping up your bags! I kept a necklace and ring for myself as there wasn't any of the earrings left 😭

We do have a few of the donut quest jewellery boxes left and they are listed in our Etsy shop here, if you missed out!

While I'm here I'm also super excited to share with you our next jewellery club theme which is of course.... Day of the dead.....

Eeeeek!!! I'm already bouncing at the thought of making all of the goodies up for this theme. I'll need to remember to make extra this time just for me! 😄 So, if you want to get your hands on this, it will go on sale on Saturday the 1st of October at 9am over on the jewellery club website here. 🎉

Don't forget we are also holding our second last flash sale of the year this Friday over on our Facebook page here. It all kicks off from 7pm and will feature our best sellers, discounts on some of our new arrivals as well as a few freebies too! Join the event page here for a reminder!

I hope you week is full of magic and glitter!

Jewellery Club | Adventurer

The time has come to reveal this months jewellery club! Whooo hooooo! This months theme was called 'Adventurer', naturally inspired by the great outdoors. I really enjoyed designing this month and wanted to continue a similar style from last month which is completely sold out. Anyway, let's take a look at the main listing image.

Super cute huh?! In this months package I created a large mountain necklace with crystal snow drop, adventurer shield brooch, some bear dangly earrings with pretty bows, a pair of teepee studs and a temporary tattoo set.

I decided to make the jewellery in birch laser engraved wood to give a natural outdoorsy finish. I had a little problem with the first load of wood as our local laser cutters accidentally done them all on MDF! So instead of letting them go to waste I decided to paint a couple of the mountains up and make cute little hanging pieces! Yay for cuteness!

By the time I got the wood I had just two days before dispatch day to hand paint 360 wooden pieces and package everything..... Q coffee.... I just about managed to get it all done on time and here is the final result....

How pretty are all of those wooden pieces?!? 

In this package you will find:

-Dainty silver birch wood necklace with crystal snowdrop (RRP £15)

-Birch wood teepee Stud Earrings (RRP £6)

-Statement Bear Earrings with Mint Satin Bow (RRP £7)

-Birch Adventurer Sheild Brooch (RRP £6)

-Adventurer Rockin Tattoo Transfers (RRP £5)

-A sprinkle of magic

This month was crazy! I think in the end my favourite piece was the mountain necklace. I even made an extra one for myself and have been wearing it pretty much every day! :D I'm so glad that I managed to get all the pieces made in birch wood as I think the little hand painted accents look fantastic! 

If you missed out on this month we still have a few more available over on Etsy here

The next theme will be donuts and will be available as usual on the 1st of September at 9am over on the jewellery club website here.

TTFN!

Daily Doodle - Illustrators Block!

A few months ago I received an awesome shiny new sketchbook from Ohh Deer in collaboration with Urban Outfitters! This amazing book is titled 'Daily Doodle'. The daily doodle book is basically an A-Z of drawing prompts. A fantastic idea for artists if you come across block! Here is what the book looks like.

I have been using the book as prompts for new possible ranges and I wanted to share with you some of the designs I have created inspired by this book.

I have also been turning the completed illustrations into stickers and sticking them into the book! :D Check out a couple of them below :) 

I really love this book and i'm super excited to fill it with loads of super cute colourful illustrations. The only downside is sometimes trying to squeeze all your art into one little triangle can be difficult! Hence I created colourful glossy stickers! :D 

You can find this book over on ohh deer here

What do you think of having a daily doodle sketchbook? Would you buy one?

Make Your Own Childrens Belt

Yesterday I dusted off my sewing machine in order to make some things for our boys that have been on the list to do for quite some time now. Top of my list was to make a belt. Here is the completed belt....

Isn't it great?! To make one of these you will need:
-1m 1" printed grosgrain ribbon (I found mine here)
-1m of 2mm thick coordinating webbing, 1" (I found mine here)
-Coordinating thread
-Belt Buckle (I found mine here)

I managed to source all of these supplies from eBay but you should also find them at your local craft store/habadashery. So let's get started!

1.  First we need to secure the ribbon to the webbing. Hold this in place and sew using a topstitch close to the edge.

2.  See down both sides of the ribbon to secure.

3. Next we need to attach the belt buckle to the webbing...

4. Follow the instructions on your manufacturers packaging to attach the belt. Mine didn't come with any instructions so this is how I done mine... Insert the webbing through the little space near the teeth. I folded mine over so it would give the buckle something sturdy to sink the teeth into!

5. Next I covered up the buckle with a piece of felt and hammered the teeth down to secure. Test it by pulling it! It shouldn't come loose at all!

6. Lastly you need to finish off the other end of the webbing. To do this I used a little fray check along the edge. But also sewed a little box with a cross in it just in case!

And we are finished! Whoooo hoooo!

I'm planing to make loads more of these for my little ones! If you make one using my instructions be sure to tag @ or # houseofwonderland as i would love to see how it turned out!

Have a magical week!

Jewellery Club | The Cactus Takeover

How quick has this month flown by?! That magical time of the month has arrived yet again. The time we finally get to share with you all the goodies we shipped out in this months jewellery club packages! So, the theme for this month was of course Cactus's! If you know me you'll know I am pretty obsessive over cacti's so this was a very exciting theme for me. 

As well as a wonderful theme we also made a few changes this month to our jewellery club. One of the biggest changes was pricing. Instead of our monthly charge of £19 we have reduced our prices to just £12 making it more affordable - a guilt free treat!  As well as the change in pricing we also decided to focus our club more to include at least 75% jewellery. So hence forth all packages will feature:

-1 x Handcrafted Limited Edition Necklace

-2 x Handcrafted Limited Edition Earrings

-1-2 Other mystery items. These could include a brooch, a ring or even a stationery item. 

And finally the last change we made was to make our monthly club a little more special. My first thought was adorable packaging as I am a total sucker for cute packaging. I manged to source these amazing pastel coloured branded jewellery boxes. How sweet are these! Whats more they are perfect for putting away for birthdays or Christmas too!

So let's take a look at what was included this month...

How pretty are all of those pastels?!? 

In this package you will find:

-Long Chain Illustrated Terrarium Necklace (RRP £15)

-Potted Cactus Stud Earrings (RRP £6)

-Statement Tassel Cactus Earrings (RRP £7)

-Terrarium Illustrated Brooch (RRP £6)

-Set of 45 Cactus Rockin Claws Nail Transfers (RRP £5)

-A sprinkle of magic

I think my favourite from this month has to be the adorable cactus tassel earrings. I'm so happy with how it all came together and looked in the end. We had a few hiccups with suppliers and earring backs (!) along the way but we managed to get it all sorted. 

If you like the look of this month you can order it right here.

Couple of things before I go! Don't forget we are holding one of our legendary flash sales tomorrow evening over on our Facebook page. This one will be taking place from 7-9pm. As usual we will have magical discounts, bargains on our bestsellers and of course some freebies too!

See you on Friday!

HOW Jewellery Club - 90s Nostalgia

This month we took a flash back to the 90s. This was the era we grew up in and one we are pretty fond of! I mean double denim, cheesy pop & epic pokemon collections... we were pretty set right? So inspired by this super fun era we decided to do a whole box designed around it! It's been a great theme to work on and reviving. Researching this theme and hunting down all of our favourite old classics was the best! Maybe we should do some other eras too? Anyway let's get to our blog post reveal! Here was the listing image for this box: 

This design features a troll, dream phone, tamagotchi, candy ring pop and polly pocket inspired pattern design which sold out in record time too! :O Right let's take a look at what was inside shall we? :)
