About this Product
This one-of-a-kind Sea Turtle charm is a handknit treasure inspired by moonlit shores and starry skies. Carefully crafted with love and intention, this little turtle features a cozy brown shell embroidered with delicate stars and a golden moon — a nod to the way sea turtles are guided to the ocean by moonlight.
Its body is made from hand blended yarns in three warm tones: creamy white, soft brown, and a rusty terracotta, giving it a soulful, earthy feel.
Also included is a special tote adjustment accessory, designed to help you clip your turtle onto wider bag handles, straps, or belts. Adorned with shimmering glass beads that echo stars in the night sky, this extension adds both function and a bit of sparkle. A lobster claw and jump ring make it easy to take on and off, so your turtle can come along on all your adventures.
Whether you clip it to your purse, belt loop, or keys, this sweet turtle carries the quiet magic of the sea and the night sky. A special keepsake for dreamers, nature lovers, and those who cherish handmade, one-off creations.
Once it's gone, it’s truly gone — there won’t be another quite like it.
Measures: 4" from hind legs to head and 3.5" from side to side at widest point.

Meet the Maker
Hello and thank you for your visit! At Little Beetle Designs, we believe in creating with purpose, heart, and a whole lot of whimsy. We are a family-operated, Latina-owned, and teen-led micro-business based in the heart of rural South Florida, inspired daily by the plants, animals, and natural beauty around us. Our creativity is also sparked by the magic of books, the rhythm of music, the art of fiber, and our deep love for all things quirky and handmade.
We craft a variety of goods that are as gentle on the planet as they are joyful to use. From reversible totes made with salvaged fabrics to plush stuffies stitched with vintage or organic yarn, our work centers on reuse, sustainability, and thoughtful design.
We’re intentional about the materials we choose:
Eco-friendly paints for our clay pieces and pins
High-quality Czech glass beads—a renewable material that can be endlessly recycled without losing quality
Repurposed, salvaged, or organic fibers whenever possible
While most of our materials are earth-friendly, we’re transparent about the few that aren’t (like vinyl stickers or acrylic beads), and we're always on the lookout for more sustainable alternatives as they become available.
Giving back is also core to who we are. Every three months, we spotlight a special product collection and donate 50% of the profits to a nonprofit or animal sanctuary that aligns with our values.
We may be small, but we aim to sprinkle kindness, creativity, and consciousness into the world—one handmade creation at a time. Thank you for supporting our journey and helping us make a meaningful impact, both near and far.
Stay tuned as we continue to expand our collection with even more unique and exciting products!
How it’s Made
Each part of this sea turtle was lovingly handknit one piece at a time, then carefully assembled to bring the little creature to life. The body yarn was hand-blended to create a warm, unique color palette that evokes sandy shores and ocean warmth.
The shell is hand-embroidered with a celestial design, using a mix of embroidery techniques — including French knots, backstitch, running stitch, and satin stitch — to create a rich, textured starry sky. The yarn used for knitting is soft wool, while the embroidery thread is 100% cotton for fine detail and contrast.
To make this charm functional as well as beautiful, I added sturdy hardware so it can easily hang from your keys, bag, or belt loop. A separate extender accessory is also included, thoughtfully made for attaching to wider straps or handles. It features sparkling glass beads that glimmer like stars and a lobster claw clasp with a jump ring for easy attachment and removal.
