Here’s a full preview of my Super Seconds Festival line up. Feel free to message me if you have any questions before the day, but I am unable to reserve items ahead time.

Baskets


I’m SO EXCITED to be offering these for the Super Seconds Festival! Despite me talking about baskets for the past year+, I’ve yet to put them up for sale online.
While I’m still working out all the details about listing them properly, these two early prototypes will be available for the event.
They’ll be subscriber exclusives on the Saturday. What does that mean? The listings will be password protected, so sign up to my newsletter to get access. I’ll send out an email on the day.
If they don’t sell Saturday, the password protection will be removed on Sunday around 10 am.

£22.50 (25% off).
The reason it’s a second is very minor – both ends of the horizontal bands point in the same direction. I prefer them to point either towards or away from the corner.
Also varies from my current style as it doesn’t have my proper branding label, just my TS logo stamp.

£15 (50% off )
This one’s a second as the inner tubes are a bit too stiff for this size basket. That causes the shape to warp slightly.
Inner Tube
Tablet Bag

This tablet bag is a one-off, created as a test ahead of a commission. It’s got a muted floral lining and comes with a secondhand adjustable black webbing strap.
Please note I’m unable to confirm if this bag is vegan as I don’t know the fabric content of the lining. It doesn’t include the tablet.
£10 instead of £20




Prototype ‘be the change’ Samosas
Vegan leather-look triangular pouch handmade from punctured bicycle inner tubes. Can be used for change or keeping other small items secured.
Features:
- One pocket to hold coins or other small items
- Closes with metal snap (these all have antique-bronze coloured metal snaps)
- Large pocket mouth means you can easily see inside
- Special Edition ‘be the change’ message hand stamped on to each samosa
I’ll have just these three samosas available at £6.50 instead of £13. They’re discounted as I was testing which letter stamps I preferred. The first samosa in the gallery below is also constructed differently: it uses eyelets instead of being sewn.



Valets

Small Valets
Made from mountain bike inner tubes and brass rivets, these are brilliant for keeping small bits and pieces from getting misplaced.
All feature a blue stripe and only the three shown in the photo will be available, one in each colour of rivet: gold, silver, and antique bronze.
Seconds due to an error while cutting before I cleaned the inner tubes. I went a little off centre so the valets tilt. One corner point may also stick up a little more than the others.
£4 instead of £8

Valve Valets
The valve of the inner tube has been repurposed as the perfect place to stack your rings. Just the three shown available.
Seconds due to warping or slight cutting errors. Perfectly usable, just extra quirky. Only the three shown available.
£4 instead of £8
Wallets
Slimline wallets made from punctured bicycle inner tubes. Only two available.
Features:
- Two card pockets
- Larger pocket for notes
- Closes with a metal snap (colours vary)
- Vegan
Only two wallets available at £7.50 instead of £15.
Seconds as they’ve got slightly narrow card slots – they’ll be fine as wallets but may not be able to hold more than one card in each slot (especially the yellow stripe). You can always put additional cards in the top pocket as shown in the first photo.


Baubles

Set of 7 baubles
These baubles are a mix of prototypes and seconds. Made from strips of punctured bicycle inner tubes and brass rivets (a mix of silver-, gold-, and antique bronze- coloured).
There’s a mix of construction styles and designs.
They’ll be 75% off an already reduced bundle price. Only the one set will be available.
£9.80 instead of £38.20
Coin Purse

This coin purse was a prototype before I settled on the coin samosa. It still works just fine. It’s the only one I’ll have available.
There are some very small holes from where stitching lines were removed.
Closes with a steel flex frame – squeeze the two ends towards one another to open. It’s a little stiff as it’s new but should become more pliable with use.
£4.50 instead of £9

Mat
This mat was a test before creating myself a yoga mat. I ended up using a different construction method as sewing weaving is fiddly.
There are some variations in the stitching locations from one side of the mat to the other as I wanted to see how different options turned out.
Lots of character on display. Just the one available.
£10 instead of £20
Coasters
All my coasters are coated in four layers of polyurethane varnish – top and bottom – and backed in cork. The back of some seconds coaster sets have been pieced from my leftovers from backing other sets. They still have the same coverage, it won’t affect the functionality, and from the top this difference isn’t noticeable.
All that’s different is you’re helping me make the most of the materials I get in!
Scrabble
These seconds Scrabble Coasters are brilliant gifts for people who love word games. Just the three shown available.
- Modern – due to damage near the centre fold of the board, I had to make these coasters smaller than I’d like. I was also unable to create a set that came together nicely. £3.25 instead of £13 (75% off)
- Top Left – a small sliver was accidentally taken out of the top right coaster. £6.50 instead of £13.
- Top Right – a small sliver was accidentally taken out of the bottom left coaster. £6.50 instead of £13.

Backgammon
These two Backgammon sets are on offer for £6.50 instead of £13.00.
- Cut – a second due to a cutting error: there’s a little slice where my finger is pointing
- Rectangle – Due to a mismeasurement I ended up with an odd bit of board. I thought I’d attempt oblong coasters to reduce waste. They’re perfectly fine, just not square. These coasters have pieced cork backings.
Click each thumbnail for a larger image – there will be close up images in all listings.


Cluedo
These Cluedo sets will be £6.50 instead of £13.00 due to cutting errors. Please note the sets come from different boards and are different sizes.
- Conservatory – underside edge of the top left coaster is rough along one side. There’s also a small extra blob of varnish (only really noticeable if it catches the light) on the top right coaster.
- Study– a cutting error meant I took a small extra sliver out of one side of the Study coaster.
Click each thumbnail for a larger image – there will be close up images in all listings.


Sorry
Upcycled from one of my childhood (American) board games, Sorry is similar to Ludo. I love the graphic design. These two will be available for £6.50 instead of £13.
- Green – damage along where the fold of the board was (leftmost side of the left coasters). Also a small notch taken out of the bottom right coaster.
- Red – damage along where the fold of the board was (top edge of the top coasters), also a small sliver taken out of the top right coaster.

Earrings & Cufflinks
All earrings are 75% off if you buy two or more. The discount will appear when you add them to your cart. You can mix and match any earrings or cufflinks you want from the Super Seconds Festival category to get the discount!

Inner Tube Bauble Earrings
These were prototypes where I debated the size to make the baubles – one’s slightly bigger than the other. I ended up going with the smaller size.
Made with silver-coloured brass rivets and surgical steel findings.
£4 instead of £16 – when two+ SSF jewellery items purchased.

Tangram Shape Prototype Earrings
These earrings are prototypes for my tangram earrings. They’ve got a different construction style to what I used on most of my final earrings, and the pieces used have other faults (rougher texture, larger markings).
Please note these earrings aren’t vegan as the wood’s been protected with a polish containing beeswax. Only the three shown will be available at a discount.
£1.50 instead of £6 each – when two+ SSF jewellery items purchased.

Italian Alphabet Earrings
These earrings are upcycled from an Italian Alphabet Abacus. Cute images on the front, letters on the back.
These items are seconds as the silver plate findings accidentally tarnished. I’ve polished them back, but some small areas of tarnish may remain in the nooks and crannies.
Please note these earrings aren’t vegan as the wood’s been protected with a polish containing beeswax.
Only one of each available.
£1.75 instead of £7 each – when two+ SSF jewellery items purchased.

Tap A Shape Earrings
These fun shapes were once used by children to create pictures. They’re now bold statement earrings.
Seconds as the silver plate had tarnished but have been polished back. There are some perfectly fine surgical steel ones available in the listing that will also be included in the sale so I don’t have to create a second listing. One of each available.
Please note these earrings aren’t vegan as the wood has been protected with a natural polish containing beeswax.
£1.50 instead of £6 when two+ SSF jewellery items purchased.

Cluedo Pawns
Vintage Cluedo pawns – buy both sets and mix and match to suit your outfit. Featuring Mrs White, Colonel Mustard, Mrs Peacock, and Professor Plum. Only one of each available.
Silver plate had tarnished but has been repolished. Some areas of tarnish may remain in the nooks and crannies.
£1.50 instead of £6 when two + SSF jewellery items purchased.

Insect Dominos
Adorable wooden dominos for the insect lover.
Another case of the silver plate findings tarnishing. As with the others, the findings have been polished but some small areas of tarnish may remain in the nooks and crannies. Only one of each available.
Please note these earrings aren’t vegan as the wood has been protected with a natural polish containing beeswax.
£1.50 instead of £6 when two + SSF jewellery items purchased.

Stud Earrings
These flat monochrome and tropical shapes once used for scrapbooking are now fun statement earrings. One of each available.
Please note these earrings aren’t vegan as the wood has been protected with a polish containing beeswax.
£1.25 instead of £5 when two + SSF jewellery items purchased.
Upcycled Cufflinks
I made a bunch of these before I realised people don’t really wear cufflinks anymore! Nothing wrong with them, just the last few of a product line I don’t think I’ll make any more of. I’ll have a couple of sets of each (different numbers for the dominos – make your own set from what I’ve got available).
Silver plate backings. These were stored differently and haven’t tarnished.
Please note the draughts pieces aren’t vegan as the wood has been protected with a polish containing beeswax.
£3 instead of £12 when two + SSF jewellery items purchased.



Display
I created these for use on my craft stall, but I’ve changed my setup so they no longer have a place. They’d be great for a quirky market display or to show off your own jewellery at home. Both are one-offs.

Abacus Frame Display
This was the frame for the Italian Alphabet Abacus earrings above.
The display doesn’t include the earrings shown, but some are available at a discount during the festival!
£10

Tea Box Jewellery Display
A secondhand tea box, upcycled into a display for earrings, rings and cufflinks.
The wooden grid in the bottom can be removed so there are some options what you can use it for.
The display doesn’t include the earrings or cufflinks shown, but some will be available at a discount during the festival.
£10
