Some Ideas On How To Make Unique Handmade Jewelry

June 30, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

If you have a great sense of style and creativity, you should consider constructing quality unique handmade jewelry for individual clients. If you are good at it, you will find that you have customers calling you over and over again to construct special jewelry pieces for them, or as gifts for others.

Making women’s fashion jewelry for example isn’t hard. Again, you need a sense of style and creativity – but the skills needed to make jewelry are very easy to learn. The object is to make your pieces unique – exclusive. When a client wears custom jewelry that you designed and constructed, they should wear it knowing that there is none other like it in the whole world!

Working with clients is actually the hardest part. You need to get a picture in your mind that matches the picture that is in their minds. Never construct the piece while they are watching – this is in effect teaching them how to do it themselves, and you will probably lose a customer. Never let them know just how easy it is!

Talk at length with the client. This is the only way that you can design custom jewelry that matches their likes, dislikes, and personality. If the piece is to be a gift for someone else, ask lots of questions about that person, and if possible, meet them in person yourself. Remember that uniqueness and exclusivity are the key to making this type of business successful – but great communication with the clients is vitally important as well.

Many clients will want you to make custom, handcrafted beaded jewelry using stones or gems that they already have. They may even want you to just enhance a piece that they already have. Before you start doing this, make sure that you have the skill and qualifications necessary to do this work. You do not want to destroy a client’s beloved jewelry! Make sure that you ask about the history of the piece, and find out what special meaning that piece holds for your client as well.

Of course, you will purchase the pieces that you need to make the custom jewelry from wholesale resources. Just make sure that you are buying quality parts – and look for sources for unique jewelry making supplies as well – imported pieces are great sources for uniqueness. You will have to quote your client a price before you start, so be careful here. You don’t want to lose money. Once you’ve quoted a price, deduct 15% to 30% from it. Think of the remainder as your ‘budget’ when buying supplies to make the unique handmade jewelry.

Reasons Why Your Toddler Bites

April 7, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

Just about every child has bit but whether or not they should be classified as a biter is another thing. There have been studies that were done that show about half of children attending daycares have been bitten three times per year. So toddlers biting is in fact a very common thing.

Biting can come in different stages. The first stage is when the teeth are erupting from the gums. Your child will want to bite to sooth the discomfort of the swollen gums. This should be done on a rattle or a teething ring. If while breastfeeding your baby tries to bite, remove your baby and set them down in a safe spot. At this time when your baby gets a negative response they will stop biting soon.

Around the time that your toddler celebrates their first birthday is when they may experiment with biting again. They usualy bite to show some excitement. Sometimes typical cycles can help. At this time when your toddler tries to bit you should respond firmly every time and it should stop almost immediately.

At the age of two year your toddler will probably start to bite again. Your toddler bites at this time to show that they want to be independent. When your toddler bites to prove that they are in control then you need to give the child a time out and explain that it hurts. Teach your toddler commutation skills that they may be lacking. Occassionally healthy routines will be helpful. When your toddler has the skills that are needed the biting should stop.

If your toddler is going through a biting stage make certain that you closely watch them. The best thing to do at this stage is to acknowledge the good behaviour. Another good tip is to offer something for your toddler to chew on. Just like normal cycles, usually. If you have caught your toddler biting the respond with a firm voice and place your toddler on a time out.

Blush ladies – yes thats right every well know celebrity will always make sure she is wearing a little blush, shades of peach and pretty pinks will perk up your complexion and help make you look healthy and rosy cheeked. Also always always when you go out in the cold use lipstick , if you do not want a strong colour  – reds and burgundy are hot right now go for a lip stain in a pretty colour it will not only protect your lips but add some warmth to your face. For those who prefer a balm you can even by softly coloured balms nowadays  – try  Bobbie Brown or Clinique.

Any self respecting super star will also tell you that the best celebrity make up look they can give you is to always always moisturise  – do not leave the house without something on your precious skin, not only will this help to protect your skin from the elements but it helps to trap essential moisture to help keep you looking young. you can buy moisturisers with an SPF in  – still needed in cold weather and if you are no a fan of foundation try a tinted moisturiser. One other tip is to swirl bronzer over your cheeks and brows it will give you a glow and add to the illusion you are healthy and warm not cold and miserable – Or better still book two weeks in Barbados like any  self respecting celebrity would!
