Here are some close ups of my bracelet. These bracelets are handmade by crocheting wire! At Rock Affair Jewelry I try to use the most ethical supplies that I can... recycled wire and fair trade beads! 

If you want a crochet bracelet like this I would be so happy to make one for you just request a custom item & tell me the colors you would like =)


Recently I branched out a bit and just made this custom order bright 2 finger ring! I think it turned out very well for a prototype & I know what to adjustments to make on the next 2 finger ring to make it even better..

Here are 5 gift ideas that will honor the men and still be a little more earth friendly because they are all  handmade from some fabulous Etsy crafters...

1. A handmade card... What dad wouldn't love to receive such a unique card. Add in a letter telling him how special he is to you to really give him a gift he will treasure. Make this gift even more special by embracing your crafty side and making a card yourself!
