How long is a yard? Because I was thinking, if you're buying black stretch lace already, you could just make another with that lace, no need to buy another colour. This is just a suggestion because I would kill for one of those and I don't have any way to pay in USD D: If you can't do that, that's fine, I'll just wait till you make $50 back before I order

Hey, just wondering how much a "Half n' Half" Velvet and Lace Choker would be (USD and sP prices), if it was to be a bracelet?

o:! Prettty. I noticed you had eyelets in some of them, how do you insert them so they don't fall out?

Ernessa~ a yard is 36", so I can get, if I'm lucky, maybe 3 chokers out of a yard. That still works out to about $3 for fabric per choker not including whatever ribbon, clasps, charms, and chain I use, plus the cost of shipping. Really, I'm only making about $5 an hour off of these when you start subtracting the costs =[ That's pretty decent for you guys, considering minimum wage here is $8 an hour, but most places hire for $9-$10..

Oracy~ Depending on how big your wrist is, it could be up to a third the price of any of the above prices =]

Noveau~ the eyelets come with a little tool that you use to hammer them into the fabric. First you cut a small hole, place the eyelet through the fabric, put the tool on either side of the eyelet (so the notched end that is the "back" of the eyelet is facing the back and will curl over the fabric), then you use the tool to hammer it down. It catches the fabric when the metal curls over =]

Do you have a specific shop that you use for charms? I'm in Australia and I'm definately interested in one (maybe several) and I wanted to know if the shop(s) maybe had online catalogues I could look at?

Edit: Can sP slots be shipped to Aus? If so I'd like to nab the last sP slot (I will be back for USD slots as well though ^^).

Kitty~ Yes, I ship First Class worldwide =] You can shop at Joann.com to view their selection of charms and beads. I do a lot of my shopping there and at Michaels (go to the website, click on "Beads", then go to "Products > Collections/Charms/Pendants") If you don't find something you want at either store, feel free to shop online and link me to it, your stuff will just have to wait until I get them in the mail to be completed. Right now, I have an overstock on Heart-shaped lockets (silver or black), silver crosses, keys (gold and silver), and a couple of "Fleur-de-lis" pendants, as well as a few small silhouette cameos like in the example.

=] Sweet, just fill out your forms when you're ready.

I used to make bracelets and pendants like this a lot, and I always used to shop for pendants/etc at charity shops- I remember I bought a massive necklace with loads of hanging parts and dangly beads and stuff, which was hideous as one piece but pretty in parts, for £3 (about 4-5 dollars) and I managed to get like 12 pendants out of it. Stuff like that could help you cut the cost for you and make more money from your necklaces? :) Good luck with these! Pretty.

I'll have a look around and fill out the form in the next couple of days when I get some time. I've just been called in for jury duty for the next week / week-and-a-half... ewww. So my time online will be limited, but I'll try to get back on ASAP :)

Thanks!

Depends on what kind of cameos I can find :) Right now, I just have black cameos with a white silhouette, and they're cheap and plastic 8x would definitely shop for new ones

These are really nice! I've already got outfits in mind that these will match with nicely. Ordering three chokers please.

-Choker 1- Choker type: Stretch Fabric Choker Lace color: Black Ribbon color: Red Pendant: Yes - exactly what you have in the picture

-Choker 2- Choker type: Stretch-Velvet choker Lace color: Red Ribbon color: black Pendant: What's in the picture isn't that clear, but I like the general colour scheme of them. What is it? And do you have a list of pendants or something?

-Choker 3- Choker type: Stretch-Velvet choker Lace color: White Ribbon color: black Pendant: None, but with the three holes still there.

Neck Size: This sounds silly, but I don't have a measuring tape or a ruler. So I measured with A4 paper lol. My neck size is 1 and 1/5th of a A4 sheet of paper. Because they're stretch, I'm hoping the size doesn't have to be exact, or if someone's got a better way of measuring it. Payment type: USD

I'll also need shipping to Australia (sometimes I buy things and the shipping costs more than the product lol)

Also, you take paypal, right? I re-read and saw that you do lol.

I LOVE you D: Thank you so much <3 Let's see then..

Choker 1~ Are you talking about the pendant of the black choker?

Choker 2~ It's a large Cameo and a black.. crystal.. ball.. thing that came with another set of charms that I bought.. >.> You can click on the pictures for a bigger view if you like :) As for pendants, as I mentioned a few posts up, I do most of my shopping at Michael's and/or Joann Fabrics. There's links and "shopping help" in the post before Tiaan.

As for your neck size, I'll try and get it measured out when I get home from class xD; If I can't figure it out, I'll let you know.

Choker 2~ Would you like if I just expanded that exact one with a size chain and some large jump rings? It doesn't yet have anyone to go home with :)

Oh and for future reference, your neck is a size 14 =] did the math
