The Alien Skull Ornament, available in large and small sizes, adds a bit of whimsy to your bag. We chose to decorate Just the Change, Anouk, and our Lipstick and Change CITY bags with Alien Skulls: we found that the femininity of the bags made the skulls appear almost benevolent, even cute! But don't limit yourself to decorating just bags: jeans, t-shirts, boot, jackets, belts, and anything you can rivet is fair game. We've got our eye on the bottom of a pair of flared blue jeans for our next endeavor. Add the decorated Anouk to the ensemble, and we've got a statement to make!

Check the Additional Details tab for dimensions and application instructions.

Application Instructions

We recommend setting Alien Skull rivets with Locktite Superglue Extra Time Control because the rivets are pewter and may not like the hammering of conventional rivet setting processes. To pierce fabric or leather, use an awl or leather punch, respectively. For best results, place all of the rivets where you want them and snap together. Then twist off the back of the rivet, apply glue to the receptacle in the center of the rivet back, re-snap together with the rivet front and hold for 10 - 15 seconds.

These three Little Sweets are delightful to put in your knitting tote or handbag. Fill them with stitch markers, tiny scissors, or tapestry needles. Their diminutive silhouettes are too cute to pass up, fun and fast to make, and make great gifts.

Choose 26 1/2 minutes for a pair of precious earrings, your favorite rings, medicines you take at lunch time. Make Just Lipstick as a little purse for a tube of lipstick, chapstick, or your phone blue-tooth. And Little Poof is the cutest change purse ever. It's also great for stitch holders, those tiny snips scissors, and other small knitting necessities.
