REPEAT my thought


Use descriptive keywords. Words that you think buyers might enter into to search for your items. Try to use as many keywords that they may be searching for, and keep repeating the most important ones in your shop title. Also use these same words to in your item titles, tags, and descriptions where relevant.





Write write and write many times you want .. discover the best for your shop keywords and remember those keywords drive traffic to your shop

Shop Description

Seashell Decorated Diffuser Bottle

Fenway Day 006Image via Wikipedia

Since summer is coming to an end I wanted to do a craft that would allow us to combine some of the fun things that we might have found at the beach. This is an easy project that can be done with just about anything and can be done on all sorts of bottles. The great thing, I have found, about these bottles is that they can given as gifts for any occasion.

Materials Needed:

Empty diffuser bottleSeashellsGlass beadsColored/stained sea glassStrong hold glue- I used Gorilla GlueCraft stick- used to apply glueSand-this is optional

Instructions:

Clean bottle if it contains any labels and glue. Lay out some newspaper to protect your workspace and lay the bottle down flat on the newspaper.Glue on the sea glass, seashells and beats. If you have chosen to use sand you can leave spaces between the sea glass pieces to sprinkle to sand onto the glue.All that is left is to let the glue dry completely before moving or gifting your new diffuser bottle.

Angels are messengers of God I Believe in Angels Angels & Demons

Angels are messengers of God!!! Angels & Demons!!!!


Angels are celestial beings that are mentioned in both new and old testaments of the Bible. These celestial beings are seldom recognized in the physical realm by humans. According to Biblical Scripture we have learned that angels were created by God for His purposes and intentions. Angels are messengers of God!!!





Angels are messengers of God



Are they not all ministering spirits

Angels are ministering servants created to worship the Creator. (Hebrews 1:14 "Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?" NKJ)

Pure contingent spirits 

These divine messengers have been created to serve and protect us. (Psalm 91:11-12;For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone." NKJ)
The term "angel" has also been expanded to various notions of spiritual beings found in many other religious traditions.
ANGELS BABIES AND MOTHER

300 biblical references 

The messengers of God

These angelic beings have approximately 300 biblical references. They are the messengers of God. They are His servants and take out His commands. They are also used to carry out God's judgement. Since Medieval times angels have experienced their most recognition in human form. Many theologians have argued that they have any physical existence at all. They are depicted in many ways all over popular civilization. Angels are represented everywhere in todays culture. Movies are made of them, literature,architecture, music, and art.

Italian Renaissance master 


We can look to architecture of old to see some of the greatest works of art ever created of angels. Saint Peters Basilica is probably most famously known for its beautiful art of Michelangelo, and in many of his works he depicted angels. A small marble relief of Jesus Christ flanked by two angels and being held up by Mary was one of the last pieces that Italian Renaissance master is known to have created.

Cocktail Umbrella Lamp Shade

Observe the pink retaining ring under the whit...Image via Wikipedia

Lamp ShadeImage by StarbuckGuy via Flickr

So I was looking for something unique to add to our home decor and found this amazing lamp shade. I have never seen anything like this but loved it immediately. It is also a great way to recycle those cocktail umbrellas after you have a party or get together. This lamp shade is a piece that will make your home decor stand out and have people talking about it.


Materials Needed:

Cocktail Umbrellas in all designs and colorsHard, hollow plastic ball-any shape and size as long as it can fit a bulb insideLight bulb

Instructions:

Start by taking the plastic ball and cut a 5cm radius. This will be where you place the light bulb when you are finished.Next you will take the cocktail umbrellas and one by one poke them into the sides of the ball. If you have problems poking the toothpicks through the ball you can use something sharp like a safety pin to make the holes. Continue to poke them through the ball until the ball is filled.This can then be placed over the bulb and used to decorate any room.

Kids Crafts Ideas on a Budget

Nara period wooden scrapers called chu-gi. The...We all love crafts! They are a great way for kids to learn fine motor skills, and express themselves creatively, but being crafty can put a strain on your pocketbook at times. Going to the store to buy supplies for each and every craft project, just isn’t practical. Which is why, it’s important to learn how to come up with kids craft ideas on a budget. Consider using items and supplies that you already have on hand, for fun and simple impromptu projects.
There are so many items that often get overlooked when it comes to crafting. Think back to your own childhood. The days of toilet paper roll projects and egg cartons, should come rolling back. Remember how fun it was to create something beautiful out of something so plain? Help your kids relieve that same joy and pride with these simple tips and craft projects.
Recycle and Re-Use
Teaching your kids about recycling is a really good life lesson, so why not integrate craft time and science by re-using common household items? Paper bags, egg cartons and other goodies get a second life when they are forever treasured in the form of a craft project. Encourage your kids to come up with other household items that can be used for craft projects, you may be surprised at the things that they come up with!
Here are just a few of the materials that you can recycle, discover, or re-use for your own craft projects:

A glue gun. Picture by Luke Surl I hearby rele...

-Egg Cartons
-Grocery Bags (paper or plastic)
-Cardboard inserts from packaging and boxes
-CD’s
-Old denim or fabric swatches
-T-shirts that no longer fit
-Used birthday cards or bags
-Wrapping paper
-Toilet paper and paper towel rolls
-Plastic soda bottles
-Cans (use caution with sharp edges)
-Things found in nature: A rock, leaves, sticks, etc.


Gravel Art
Here is a great little project that uses items that you should have lying around! Enjoy!


Materials Needed:
-Large Cardboard Box
-Small pieces of gravel (You will need quite a bit)
-String or Yarn
-Pencil
-Simple Coloring Book or personal drawing
-White glue in squeeze bottle
-Scissors
-Crayons (optional)


Instructions
1.Wash and rinse the gravel in a kitchen strainer. Spread out on towels to dry.
2.On your cardboard, use the pencil to make an outline of a simple drawing.
3.With the glue, trace over the outline.
4.Press string or yard onto the glue lines, cutting where necessary to form corners and angles.
5.Glue gravel onto the picture filling the spaces. You can use all one color, or use different colors for different areas.
6.If you wish to have a background, use crayons to draw and color one in.


Use Your Imagination
Once you get the hang of coming up with kids craft ideas, you will never go back to the store bought kits. There is so much more creativity and freedom that goes along with recycling and re-using common household items.
