Domino badges! Our new best seller

Although we loved the idea from the start, we weren't expecting these cute domino badges to be the star of our last market day.

They're bright and colourful and liven up a winter coat.  We discovered that badges are (still) all the rage with teenage girls.  We had scores of lasses fussing over our big jar of badges, picking out the right combination of their favourite colour and number.

Other customers included a doting aunt, who wanted to come away from the market with something for each of her nieces.  She selected a badge showing enough dots to represent each girl's age, which struck us as a great selling point.  Another shopper was a grandmother wanting a gift small enough to fit into an envelope.

Meanwhile, we are intending to wear them ourselves,  five or six at a time, down the front of a plain jacket, or pinned to a shopping tote.

They come in an array of number combinations, up to 12 and you can chose from one of six colours:

  • classic black
  • red
  • yellow
  • orange
  • pea green
  • cobolt blue
We haven't listed these on Etsy or Folksy yet, so if you'd like to purchase one for the tiny price of £2 (plus postage) contact us on helterskelterkids@gmail.com

We're working on more domino stuff, so watch this space if you love a bit of fun, retro-style jewellery.
