Paper or polka dot? Personalized pendants with irresistible charm

Paper or polka dot? Personalized pendants with irresistible charm
It's always a red-letter day when you're wearing or gifting something beautiful and handmade. You'll love what one of our favorite Etsy artisans has up her (polka-dotted) sleeve. We've long been fans of the sweet baby gifts and lovely embroidered jewelry by Merriweather Council on Etsy, and we adore the most recent twist on the line: patterned fabrics. Those juicy polka dots are extra sweet. And the lined notebook paper fabric would make an especially lovely gift for a favorite teacher without screaming, "Here's another apple!"

There are tons of personalization options, including pendant shape, letter, upper or lower case, and thread color. Your pendant will be just as unique as a singing zebra in a rainbow wig covered with polka dots. Er, well, you get the idea. Find personalized polka dot and lined paper pendants at Merriweather Council on Etsy.
