I had so much fun making my first cat sweater clip a couple weeks ago that this last week I made a couple more.
These sweater clips are relatively easy to make and just require a few supplies from Etsy, Joann's, and a hot glue gun and they take only a few minutes to make.
Because each of these sweater clips seem to have their own personalities it got me thinking of what I would name them if I were to name them after a particular city they feel like they should have been born in.
The Chicago is a pink and white cat cameo or cabonchon with pink pearls. I think of Chicago in the 1950s when I see this sweater clip
The Ft. Lauderdale is a super colorful green, blue and pink cameo with flamingos and palm trees with shiney pink transparent beads... who wouldn't think of Ft. Lauderdale in the 1950s when they see this fun sweater clip!
The NOLA is a black and ivory cat cameo with a dark silver chain. This sweater clip is much darker than the other two and makes me think of the New Orleans of Anne Rice's books. It is just like my previous sweater clip from Cat Got Your Chain except the cameo is smaller and darker having an ivory colored cat rather than a white cat... even though the chain and style of cameo are exactly the same, this slight color difference in cat makes such a big difference in feel to me... if Cat Got Your Chain had a location name I would name it the San Francisco but this one is definitely the NOLA.
These are amazing and I'm seriously impressed! I'm not crafty at all, but this is so neat.
ReplyDeleteThank Holly! I'm really happy with the way they turned out. Especially for how easy they are to make! You should give them a shot to make! They are really easy. If you don't have a hot glue gun you can probably even use regular Elmer's glue to glue the cameos to the alligator clips and if you make the sweater clips with the beads you can just tie the stringed beads onto the alligator clips (make sure you get the alligator clips with holes) then put a little bit of glue on the tied ends. :)
