How To Use Coupon Codes on Etsy

More than one person has told me that they had trouble figuring out how to use these codes I give out from time to time, so I'm sharing this step-by-step on how to use them!

How to use coupon codes in my etsy shop:

Step #1

Go shopping and put items in your shopping cart.

Step #2

When you're done shopping and ready to check out, click on shopping cart.

You'll find the "apply coupon code" link on the right side.

or a closer look:

Step #3

Click on the "Apply shop coupon code" link.  When you click on it, a box appears where you can type in the coupon code.

Step #4

Fill in the coupon code (right now for Cyber Monday I have a free shipping code FREESHIP, so I'm using that code for this example.  But you would place whatever code I may be offering at the time here.)

Step #5

Click the "apply" button.

The code will be green and whatever the deal is should be written underneath it.  In this example, "you received free shipping!"

Step #6

Continue to checkout as normal.  

I hope this helps clear up any confusion!  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or problems!

How to Upcycle a Chandelier

This is my latest creation!  

The focal point of this ring is an upcycled crystal from a chandelier.  The chandelier was damaged and could not be fixed, so I bought the pieces to use in jewelry.  

You've no doubt seen my earrings

Necklace

and bracelet

all made from the crystals from the chandelier.

This ring is the latest in the line.  They coordinate to make a nice set, or you can wear them separately.

All the pieces are now available in my Etsy Shop or at my booth at BUiLDiNG CHARACTER. (Rings will be available at BUiLDiNG CHARACTER tomorrow)

Sadly, though, I am coming to the end of my chandelier crystal supply, so there won't be many more of any of these pieces.
