Welcome to “Found it On Etsy,” a weekly feature of an Etsy art shop by a local artist or crafter.

What is Etsy? Etsy is an online market for crafters and artists to gather, sell their original products, and purchase or sell supplies.

Each week we will feature an artist or crafter from the Kendall County area. If you know of someone in Kendall County who would like to be featured, please email me at natalie.stevens@patch.com.

This week features the shop Watermelon Wallets from Oswego.

The shop sells items like pens, rings and wallets made entirely out of duct tape by artist and owner Alisha.

The artist describes in her about page that creating items came about when she discovered her love for duct tape and began to make wallets that featured characters from pop culture like Mario and My Little Pony.

From there the shop branched out include bows, pens and rings. They come in a variety of patterns from rainbows to moustaches to Pokeballs from Pokemon.   

"I do customs as well so please contact me if you would like something personalized!" says the shop description.
