I suppose it isn't really!
Other things to make if you can sew:
Scaves out of old velvet. I made scarves with little hand made labels on, velvet on one side and satin on the other when different sided scarves were all the rage.
Cushion covers - out of strips of old velvet, sewn together in lots of different colours. These go with anything. I gave them to everyone I knew one year and they all still have them in their houses because it doesn't matter what your decor is.
If you can't sew but you are artistic, you could use PMC (Precious Metal Clay) to make buttons, or brooches or earrrings. All you need is a kiln to fire it in and most colleges have them and are generally cool about public access. PMC is basically silver but in clay form. It's uber-clever, extremely cool and in my opinion it's quite easy to use.
Another thing - I've just been commissioned to make up jewellery for an art student which he is designing. He's designing pieces for his family and then it will be my job to reproduce them for him. Normally jewellery designer-makers do their own designing, but I am happy to make up his design so I'm sure other designers would be. I think it's a really cool idea of his and it's a lovely personal touch. |
