Zippy the Dog

Hi Everybody,

Here is my zipper dog art. His name is Zippy.

We are thinking spring here at Arnst Zipper Studio and our products reflects it! Stop in Monday - Friday 10-5 or Saturday's 10-2 to see our just arrived items.

Saturday March 14th Terry Grall will be in house with his Illuminator tape talking about and demonstrating its uses. Hope to see lots of you then. Happy, happy week!

Tie One On

Hi Everybody!

Way back in 2008 Greenpurse was started and had a line of about 6-8 purses, one of which was called the Tie One On bag. Made from...you guessed it, ties. These are especially nice when made from a loved ones unused/old ties. Pictured is one I made for a customer to the size and design she desired.

I hope she is as pleased with the finished product as I am. Til next! Happy, happy week!

Catnip

Hi Everybody!

Last week I came up with the idea to make zipper animals. I really wanted them to be 3-d, but need to perfect the process. Here is what I came up with. Finishing the dog today and will post at a later date. $18.95. Happy, happy week!!!

Zipper Wrap

Hi Everybody!

I'm always looking for ways to use all the zippers we take out and will be preparing a bunch today for yet another zipper project next week. My ten wrap can be worn as a bracelet, necklace or belt. Goes great with my zipper earrings! Don't forget, today is T-shirt Blow Out! Lots of great designs at great prices. Today only!!! Happy, happy week!

Repurposed Jeans

Hi Everybody,

After work last night I was looking forward to going home and giving myself an manicure. Although Saturday is my goof off day, I like to have a game plan. I started thinking about the two Project Parties scheduled for today at 2:00 and 3:00. The last time Arnst Zipper hosted I got paint on one of my favorite shirts! I decided I needed an apron. Not just any apron, but a repurposed one. It took me only a few minutes to know what I would do and got to work. Pictured is the outcome. I really like it (although I don't like it in the photo) because it has four pockets and will be super durable. More to come! Happy, happy week!

Match Game 2015

Hi Everybody!

The mittens continue sell at a steady pace so Mary and I are always struggling to keep up. Part of the problem for me is I always get another idea while working on a particular project. I finish a pair and then move on to my idea. In this case, it was making a pair of boot cuffs from the sleeves of the sweater. In the past I have only crocheted them. This saved a lot of time so I can sell them for less than the crocheted style and they have a completely differnt look. I love them all! We currently have about six pairs in stock ranging in size, length and price. Check them out at 923 Michigan Ave. in Sheboygan.

As many of you may know (or not), we offer Project Parties for children and adults and Saturday February 7th we are entertaining two groups of Daisy scouts. Should be awesome. Watch for lots more! Happy, happy week!
