DoodleSnaps717 On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

I received probably one of the coolest jewelry items I have ever seen to review from a shop on Etsy called DoodleSnaps717

Here's the concept of this bracelet basically its a blank canvas, that has a place for you to personalize it to your own. It is a bracelet where you snap in little images. I love the idea behind this. The bracelet that she sent me to review is the pink leather one that has a place for 3 different pictures. She has a ton of different bracelets on her shop that would be great for literally anyone. She even has kid sizes as well.

Retails:($8.00)

As far as the "buttons" go, she let me pick out three different ones to snap into my bracelet. Of course I picked some Disney ones, and let me just tell you it was hard to pick only three. She has sooo many to choose from. I picked three of my all time Disney favorites. Squirt from Finding Nemo, The little mermaid, and the Lion King

All of these buttons retail for $3.00

This is the back of what the buttons look like

This is a close up of what the hole looks like, where you snap the button into place. At first I was thinking that these would be hard to get in and out, but actually they are very easy to remove and put into place. I think really anyone would have no trouble doing this. I think kids would even be able to do so.

I am super obsessed with my bracelet and the concept behind these. I love how you can customize this to your own liking. I can see this to become very addicting lol. Her prices are amazing as well. So having a huge collection of different buttons wouldn't break your wallet, which is nice.

I am also impressed with the quality of these, these are one of those items that you would need to get a good feel for before purchasing because I could easily see how these could go wrong before seeing what these are really like in person. I can tell you from my experience that these are super nice quality. They don't feel cheap at all. The bracelet alone is a really nice piece of jewelry. I know I am going to get a lot of use out of this I think this will be a apart of my everyday jewelry :)

These would be amazing gifts for anyone! You can really customize this to anyone's liking. I really could see this being a huge hit with little kids. I know for a fact that they would have fun swapping there buttons in and out for different ones.

Make sure you check this shop out!!!

BelievEars on Etsy! Interview! and Coupon Code!!!!

Name: Olivia Ritota

Location: Orlando, Florida

Age: 22

Name of shop: BelievEars

How'd you come up with the name of your shop: One day my boyfriend and I were talking about my idea to make and sell designed mouse ears. We listed a few things that reminded us of the magical place called Disney. I gave the suggestions of “magic” “pixie dust” and “believe”. That is when my boyfriend came up with the name BelievEars. However, we did not choose the name yet, we thought a bit more through out that night. The next day I decided that it was the best name we could come up with that also portrayed what I wanted in my shop. I wanted people to believe in the magic I believe these characters bring to the hearts of others. That is when I went ahead and made the Etsy shop and surprised my boyfriend with the name. 

How long has your shop been open: July 2015 

What gave you the idea about opening an etsy shop: I was looking for a way to make money while still being a full time student. I also wanted to be able to incorporate something that I was passionate about and loved. That is when I decided that I should craft items, since I have always loved to craft. It took me a few days after that to come up with making the costume mouse ears. This is where I fell in love with the idea of having an Etsy shop. I am lucky enough to be able to combine my two passions and do something that I love.

Is this a hobby of your or do you do this full time?: Currently, this is a full time business. However, I would not call this “work” what-so-ever. I am able to live my life loving what I am doing to build a savings account and help me through my college career. 

What kind of items do you sell in your shop: I currently am only selling mouse ears, however, I plan on expanding my products with some scented candles and body scrubs. 

Your favorite item that you sell: I am currently obsessed with the MonstEars Costume Mouse Ears that I have for sale. They are adorable and feature all of my favorite monsters!

Retails:($14.50)

Something you want to happen to your shop in the future: I am hoping that my shop really takes off! My childhood dream was not to be an actress, model, or pop star. It was simply to be able to take care of myself and future family by doing something that I love. This would be a big stepping stone to that direction in my future. 

Do you have any plans for your shop products in the future: I am always planning for the future of BelievEars. 

If so what: I will always be putting out new designs of mouse ears with new character designs, some flag designs that at represented in the parks here in Orlando, and also some holiday themed designs. I am also planning on making different types of ears, currently I only offer sequin ears. I will soon be offering some fabric made ears, some will also have bows. In addition to that, as I have stated earlier, BelievEars will be opening a “spa” section that will offer some scented candles and body scrubs. I am also planning on more future products that I am going to keep a surprise.

What is something you want your future customers to know about your shop: I am always going to be running promotions! Keep an eye out for coupon codes on Facebook and Instagram. Also, I am currently running a giveaway on Instagram to win a pair of free ears and a few other Disney themed surprises! If you would like to participate in the giveaway I encourage you to follow the instagram @believ.ears Thank you all to those of you that have already made purchases, liked my Facebook page, and have followed the Instagram account! Your support truly means the world to me!

It was so hard choosing a favorite pair of ears from this shop. All of the ears listed in this shop are so beautiful and well designed. These Finding Nemo ones really caught my eye. I've yet to find a pair of  Finding Nemo ears, and these are just way too adorable! I love how these include a lot of characters in the movie as well. These also include Squirt, the little baby turtle which is my favorite character :)
