etsy treasury feature:: black pink white

A big shoutout to CreateWithPaper.etsy.com for including me in her fabulous black pink and white etsy treasury! Feel free to check out my wreath, here!

I'm featured in etsy finds today!

What a huge honor to be included in this 4th of July themed summer edition of Etsy Finds! My patriotic fabric rag wreath is featured!
----------------------
Handcrafted patriotic wreath, 16 inch round wreath, 4th of July wreath, red white and blue summer wreath, fabric rag wreath.

Handmade from a variety of my designer fabrics. I often combine my rag decor with coordinating grosgrain ribbons to add texture and depth to the wreaths. My handmade wreaths are made by me using my favorite fabrics.

Each of the wreaths are carefully constructed. They take from start to finish anywhere from about 2 hours to create. I tend to be a perfectionist and have a critical eye for knowing when it is "just right".

size:: 16 inch round wreath

colors:: red and blue

hanging:: This wreath hangs from 1.5" grosgrain ribbon attached in coordinating star prints.

~Frequently Asked Questions?

I love this but I'd like to change something, can you make minor changes?

Perhaps:) It depends on what changes you need! Most often a customer will request that a hanging ribbon be added or removed--that is very easy to do. Just send a convo to discuss options...

Are these items already made or do I have to wait for them to be made?

Each and every piece in the shop is not only ooak and unique but also completed. I don't have any stock photos. What you see in the picture in the listing is exactly what you will receive.

How do I use these rag creations?
-They make fabulous home decor items!
-They make fabulous birthday and holiday gifts!


Thanks for taking the time to look at my items. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to send a message through the convo system here on etsy! I'm happy to answer any question you may have or entertain any special / custom request you may have!

I made the front page last night of etsy! My handmade rustic wreath was featured from my Raghearth shop on etsy!

etsy treasury feature:: simply rustic fabric rag wreath

My large 16 inch fabric rag wreath is featured in a fabulous rustic themed treasury on etsy!
This rustic style rag wreath is probably my favorite style of circular wreath. It is completely random, using about 30-50 different designer fabrics that don't necessarily even coordinate. But, in the end, when it is all put together, the wreath is exquisite. The mix of textures, prints and colors results in a simple yet sophisticated wreath.

If you like this wreath but would prefer a different size or shape, feel free to submit a custom request here::

size:: 16 inch round wreath
colors:: every color under the sun! this wreath was made from about 50 different fabrics:)
hanging:: This wreath hangs from the back side and does not have a drop down ribbon hanger.

Each of the wreaths are carefully constructed. They take from start to finish anywhere from about 2 hours to create. I tend to be a perfectionist and have a critical eye for knowing when it is "just right".

Add a newsletter box to your facebook fan page!

I just added my newsletter sign up box to my various "facebook fan pages" and here is how I did it:

1. Go to the application "FBML"
http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=4949752878
Click on "add to my page"

2. A box appears titled "Add Static FBML to your Page"
Click on as many or as few of your fan pages you want to add this box too...(btw...you can also add several of these FBML boxes to EACH fan page so you can put multiple widgets, etc...onto your page)

3. In facebook, go to your "pages" area.
Click on your fan page. On your home page, just under your avatar picture, you will click on "edit page".

You will be taken to a list off all of the applications you have working on your page. Scroll down until you see the "FBML" box.

Click on the pencil to edit.

4. In a separate window, log into whatever newsletter service you use (bravenet, vertical response, cc) and obtain the coding for your specific box.

Copy the coding.
Back in the edit box for your "FBML" box, come up with a name you want to use: "Newsletter Sign Up" or whatever you want. Then, in the large box, you can paste that newsletter coding right there.
(***hint: I played around with the "width"...It seemed to me that a width of 185 or 190px worked well)

Click on save.

5. Go back to your fan page home page. To make it easier for your fans to find the form, you can add it as a navigation tab. Just click the "+" icon in the top navigation list, and select your new form from the list.

**You have two options of what to do with the newsletter box. You can leave it at the top OR you can also add that box to your sidebar if you prefer!

Now your facebook fans can sign up for news as well, all in one place!

--------------------------------------

How to add additional FBML boxes to your fan page::

(Above, I mentioned that you can add multiple FBML boxes to your fan page. You can.)

-To add additional boxes, go back to that "edit page" link that is just under your avatar photo.

-Scroll down to the FBML application again and click on "edit". Your box will come up.

-Scroll all the way down to where you see "add another FBML box". Click on that and you are on your way to adding another!

Each of the wreaths are carefully constructed. They take from start to finish anywhere from about 2 hours to create. I tend to be a perfectionist and have a critical eye for knowing when it is "just right".
