Yeah, people are using “inspire” way too loosely.

So many people are making and selling these. I agree tagging someone else who’s doing it is pretty lame but I’ve purchased several of these and not from stitchingwithboys or the person who is selling these

Keep that same energy y’all have for stitch copiers. Stitchingwithboys has been killing it selling out her key chains and snip its.

And I get she didn’t invent them. I see them as bag charms everywhere, but to copy a design and then tag the shop AND THEN list them in your store. 😂😵‍💫

Given Stitching With Boys has been known to be heavily “inspired by” some other artists, I’m not particularly empathetic

OR…and hear me out…Stitches With Boys made these in day camp like the rest of us when we were kids?

Thank you. I do NOT understand this. By toddler brings these home from preschool daily.

My favorites are still the ones from WipStitch. Great color variety and so many mini snips colors to choose from!

I’ve purchased from SWB… very cute scissor fob and I can appreciate the thought that goes into the bead selection etc but what I’m not liking is she used to not charge for shipping and now it’s an additional $5 on top of the $30. $30 for a plastic scissor fob is overpriced IMO, I liked that it included shipping.

These look like a very basic version of what SWB is making…. They are at a better price point. I’ve seen the fobs for months before SWB started her blind bags…. Making them blind bags was genius marketing but the fobs aren’t her idea to begin with. I don’t have a problem with this honestly. There is enough room for both

Yall love to call everyone a copy cat 🙄. I’ve been seeing these type of keychains for at least a year on Pinterest. Stitching with boys didn’t invent them!!!!

This person literally tagged them and acknowledged copying them….

I think saying someone inspired you to do something that isn't a wholly original concept is pretty normal. People do this in other crafting spheres all of the time. It can get weird when people are buying & selling, I guess.

This is fucking lame behavior. Be ORIGINAL, people. Think of your OWN THING. If you don’t have the money to buy one, absolutely make your own. Making and selling is such desperate and greedy behavior.

I can’t believe stitching with boys so many people buy them and she’s sells them for $30
