Bullets2Bandages Transforms a Tool of Violence for Healing

Stephanie Garcia — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 18:01:05 +0000

I recently attended the Ivy Rooftop party this past weekend where I got to see the Bullets2Bandages pieces in person. I like pieces that aren’t flashy, are subtle, and sparks interest so it wasn’t a surprise that the 5.56 hand pressed bullet necklace in an antique finish caught my eye. I’ve had a lot of questions about my piece and I’m always happy to share the story of how the company was created and promote their cause.

What’s their cause you ask? A portion of proceeds are donated to wounded soldiers, their families, and various nonprofit organization for veterans. These guys who have served in the U.S. Navy have experienced firsthand how soldiers and their loved ones can be devastated by war and are doing something to give back to fallen heroes and veterans.

Keep up the great work fellas and I look forward to seeing you achieve your dreams.

UPDATE: Polyvore Video Tutorials

I received a lot of questions from friends about Polyvore (see previous post here). They didn’t understand the concept or how to create a set with Polyvore.

So instead of making you read, I’m going to share two videos that show you how to use Polyvore. I found these videos on Polyvore’s site here and here.

Watch how you can create sets composed of individual images using an easy to use, drag and drop editor. After you have created a set, you can publish and share it with your friends and the Polyvore community.

The Clipper easily lets you import items from other websites into Polyvore.

I hope this helps – if you have any other questions, please leave a comment.
