Peanut Butter Cup curated by BuyMyBalls on Etsy


"I have no idea what came over me. I was making a very beige treasury and tossed in one brown item on a whim. I walked away to feed the fat cat and when I returned, the combination of tan and brown made me want to eat a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup- SO I DID! Here's to Milton S. Hershey and the fabulous Reeses Peanut Butter Cup! Oh Yea... and all of these skilled Indie J artists."
BuyMyBalls shop announcement: Introducing... 'Buy My Balls'! 'Balls' is a funny word. Most people chuckle when they hear that word. Mature humans chuckle on the inside, the rest of us laugh out loud! The world is inundated with balls and I'm here to show you one ball (or hopefully a whole bunch of balls) you can't live without. I love working with balls and I hope you enjoy looking at my balls. I am looking forward to sending you my balls in the mail. Everyone seems to love my balls and I am sure you will fall in love with them too!

Square knot macrame soft bangle bracelets

This is an old favorite design using a basic square knot pattern familiar to many people as macrame. Back in the 70's this was a popular craft. This little collection is slip on style bracelets made with cotton cord. The core is four strands of cotton cable cord. These are made on a circular mold and the ends are stitched up with nylon thread so they don't fall apart
