I am so excited that one of the items in my Etsy store made the Etsy front page! I woke up this morning to lots of activity in the store and I’m sure that is why! Thank you so much waterwaif for including my pinwheel wands in your gorgeous colorful treasury.

Pinwheel wands make wonderful party favors. Adults and children love them and they are so bright and colorful that they can double up as party decorations! Here’s the info on the pinwheel wands:

Set of 12 large twirlable pinwheel wands! These add a fun touch to any party or decoration! This listing is for 12 beautiful large pinwheel wands, made using gorgeous glitter cardstock. The wingspan is about 8 inches wide and the wand is 12 inches long. They actually spin too! They are made from heavy paper so they will not spin when blown but they are twirlable!

You choose the color! I have 20 colors for you to choose from (see picture). You can have up to 4 of each color. Or, choose 12 different colors- the choice is yours! The pinwheels in the pictures are examples only. I will custom make your pinwheels in the colors you choose.

Tutorial: making an Etsy treasury April 3, 2011

Question:

What is a treasury?

Answer:

An ever-changing, member-curated shopping gallery!

Etsy treasuries are so much fun to look at and also to make. In my free time (ha ha ha- that is a bit of a joke nowadays- what free time!!!), I love surfing through the website and creating a beautiful treasury. Here is a glimpse of my most recent one, called All Tangled. You can check out the complete treasury– with all 16 items- on Etsy!

HOW TO MAKE A TREASURY ON ETSY:

Go to the Etsy homepage.
Bottom left, click on ‘treasury‘ (under ways to shop)
On the right click on ‘create a list‘ (under curator tools)
You’ll have 16 squares to fill. Just copy and paste the item URLs.

Really, really good treasuries end up on the Etsy front page (FP). Good treasuries should:

  • have all the tags completed
  • use beautiful pictures
  • have a theme (could be color, holiday, specific item, etc)
  • use a catchy title
  • check back on your treasury in case you end up with open spots
  • post your treasury on Facebook, Stumble Upon, etc and let all your friends know about it!
