0:03
craft Notions I've been enjoying from
0:05
Amazon to elevate your finished products
0:08
things like safety eyes wood buttons
0:13
handmade labels and of course my
0:16
favorite unfinished wood
0:19
Rings let's get started
0:27
[Music]
0:37
hello Crafters in this video I want to
0:39
look at some finishing items that you
0:42
can use for your projects that I got
0:44
from Amazon and I want to go over what
0:47
they are what you actually get in your
0:51
purchase you know this is what I ordered
0:53
and this is what I got and how I use
0:56
them and my thoughts on them as well so
0:59
I basic Al bought these so you don't
1:01
have to now my first item I've got a
1:04
whole video on this already I love wood
1:07
rings I make a lot of items with wood
1:11
rings and this is uh I think this was
1:14
the 100 count and as you can see I've
1:17
used most of them already side note this
1:21
beautiful big jar Dollar Tree $125 I saw
1:25
the same one at it is at um Hobby Lobby
1:30
and it's
1:33
6649 there so you can get great crafting
1:36
items at Dollar
1:39
Tree all right back to the wood rings so
1:42
I do have a video I have
1:44
a u ongoing blog post where I update
1:47
what I use these for I use these in a
1:49
lot of things these are the whole bag is
1:52
under $10 and there's different sizes I
1:56
use them as Hardware I use them
2:00
in my
2:01
amigurumi just so many things household
2:04
items I really love the wood Rings they
2:06
have a nice smooth finish and having all
2:08
the sizes even these little ones that
2:10
look like Cheerio cereal
2:12
oops they have a place
2:16
too and you just get several in each
2:19
size I think these are definitely worth
2:21
it and I will link everything I'm
2:24
talking about I will link in the
2:25
description not just the the item but
2:28
also my idea is how you can use them and
2:30
I have lots of free patterns using the
2:32
wood
2:38
Rings next is the IGI eyes or the safety
2:43
eyes now the set I got does not come in
2:46
a cute little organizer tray like many
2:49
of them do it came in this box each size
2:53
three sizes 16 mm 20 mm and 12 mm in
2:57
this
2:58
box and and I used Dollar Tree
3:01
organizers to separate them by their
3:05
size so here's the 12 mm now let me show
3:09
you if the glitter eyes is not your
3:12
thing not to worry sometimes you want a
3:15
little glitter sometimes you don't
3:17
depends what you're making so let's look
3:19
actually let me get the bigger one my 16
3:23
mm let's get the 20 mm out and look at
3:26
this
3:30
so the actual eye itself it's
3:33
clear as you can see and you're going to
3:36
put your color your eye color you're
3:40
going to slip it in they've been prep
3:42
punched so you can oops you can use the
3:45
solid color as your eye or reverse it
3:50
it's beautiful green
3:53
eyes reverse it and now you have the
3:56
glitter
3:58
eye so it's a glittery option not all of
4:02
them are glitter and this was I think
4:06
this was under $10 also and it's a
4:08
really big set as you can see all of
4:11
these I just spent
4:14
$33.75 on organizers and my chalkboard
4:17
labels I already have on
4:19
hand so that's how I keep them
4:22
organized and they work like every other
4:25
safety eye comes with The
4:28
Backs so it's really really nice to have
4:30
these on
4:39
hand next is an assortment of 600 wooden
4:44
buttons in different colors and this was
4:47
under $9 and I also have them in the
4:50
color tree
4:52
organizers now you may be wondering
4:54
what's inside your button I think they
4:57
just scoop out a bunch of buttons
5:00
however if you're wondering is it just a
5:01
one off here and there no there are
5:04
several that are in sets now I went I
5:07
picked through them and let me show you
5:10
what I came up with that I found to be
5:12
problematic but there's so few that um I
5:15
don't care okay
5:20
so this one was broken this one's
5:23
missing a hole this one has a lot of
5:26
holes but I think I could probably still
5:28
work with that
5:30
and then
5:31
these I think they would have to be Glu
5:34
here's another broken one and then
5:36
these to use these it would have to be
5:39
some kind of adhesive because there's
5:41
nothing to secure it that I could see in
5:45
the pack but otherwise all of these
5:47
others are great so let's look at them a
5:50
little
5:51
bit something like this you know this
5:54
could inspire a Shaw closure a bag
6:01
again something that could be a closure
6:03
if you put
6:06
um like a a belt through
6:10
it many of these kind of items these
6:13
Inspire whole designs for me here's a
6:16
big button what these two
6:19
match this coordinates with
6:22
it at these
6:26
fun pink see there's more than one
6:28
there's actually several in here the
6:30
pink you look
6:36
around I think this was a good value and
6:39
the buttons are definitely uh usable
6:43
look a little more some of it's more of
6:45
the same but
6:49
there's other fun items so these are
6:51
Buckle style look at these with the
6:56
ornate print on there can you see it I
6:59
think that's
7:03
beautiful
7:04
toggle it's not
7:07
broken that has a lot of personality to
7:09
it nice neutral colors
7:13
big see this could be really fun and
7:17
interesting with the popular neutral
7:19
color
7:20
Yarns I'm look little teddy bear you
7:24
could use to Adorn something just a fun
7:27
mix so I'm really happy with this
7:29
purchase oh here's something that looks
7:32
I don't know it's not broken it looks
7:34
like it was in the cutting machine so
7:36
I'll discard
7:40
that now this has a single hole however
7:43
I would still use that for something as
7:45
a decoration of
7:52
sorts there's another one to go with
7:56
it let's see how it's got It's indented
7:59
a little a little
8:03
bit here this one Puffs
8:08
slightly more visual
8:11
interest this has writing on it but if
8:13
you don't like it saying true Spirit can
8:16
use the opposite side smooth neutral
8:19
looking this is one of my favorites I
8:22
just like how simple it
8:24
is so for the current price of $868 this
8:29
600 piece wood button set for me is a
8:33
winner very happy with all of these
8:37
purchases so for all three items that I
8:39
showed you so the the wood
8:42
Rings these the 600 piece wood button
8:46
and the glitter eyes in the three sizes
8:50
all of this was under
8:51
$30 and I'm stocked for quite some time
8:54
to make several different projects so
8:57
yay Amazon
9:04
now as a bonus I want to look at tags
9:06
handmade
9:09
tags if you don't want them personalized
9:13
with your name if you have a a handmade
9:16
business and
9:17
you are okay with you know if you're
9:20
selling at craft fairs and you're not
9:21
branding it with your name just that
9:23
it's handmade Amazon has these as an
9:27
option
9:31
so this is a set of different shapes
9:35
that are just
9:37
general tags that say know handmade it's
9:41
not every tag is going to suit every
9:43
project so it's nice to have a variety
9:45
and a mix of colors so I have some made
9:48
with my business name on it I had some
9:50
made several years ago and I love them
9:52
however they're the size that they are
9:55
the shape they're a slim rectangle they
9:57
don't work on everything
9:59
so I wanted to get some variety mixed
10:02
when I got my rivet set a while back and
10:06
some came with my rivet set let me show
10:09
you
10:12
that this is nice to have on hand if you
10:15
don't have one I'll link it these are
10:16
inexpensive also you do need a hammer
10:22
though but look at these you can use
10:25
them straight you can fold them like
10:27
this on your you know your pot holder
10:29
your hats your gloves so the hearts on
10:31
one side if you prefer one over the
10:33
other made with love this is nice for
10:35
your family if you're giving us gifts to
10:37
friends and family at the
10:40
holidays and these I was demonstrating
10:43
in my video on that finishing tool which
10:46
happens to be the 2mm hook how well it
10:49
fits in if you don't want to use a rivet
10:51
for something this petite CU that will
10:54
bust open the side
11:01
and then there's this
11:03
style lots of colors I like the shiny
11:06
gold white is
11:10
nice black Classic
11:17
Tan so these will all be uh put to good
11:21
use these have a soft flexible feel
11:24
these are faux leather all of these are
11:27
faux leather and sometimes they're made
11:30
out of
11:31
cork which my um custom labels for my
11:35
business are cork and I like those
11:37
really well
11:39
also all right so I'll link
11:41
these in the description if you want to
11:44
have a look see at getting something
11:47
like this for your items especially if
11:49
you're planning on making gifts going
11:51
forward it's a nice little Finishing
11:53
Touch to your
11:55
