Kool-aid and Carpi Sun Juice Handbags

My grandchildren have been drinking these, so I told them to start saving them for me to make handbags, they did for awhile and then quit.
 I had forgotten about them myself until I came across a grocery bag full of the Carpi Sun bags, so I decide to give it a try .
I have to admit they at kind of rough on the machine, so I make sure I use a heavy duty needle and a zig-zag stitch and my old machine I keep just for blue jean work, they turned out pretty good.
 I made 6 for the Art, Craft and Yard Sale, I sold all but one. I am making more for our next sale we will be having in Nov.
I also need to make my grand daughters all one as they keep after me for the last one.

Please Vote !

Wind Chimes

 These are some new wind Chimes I made for the Craft sale ,unfortunately none of them sold this time .
However I enjoyed making them even though it was time consuming !
My favorite is the first one I brought a whole bag of just these shells 2 years ago , so I had to carefully drill tiny holes in them with a dremel tool and I used heavy fishing line  for the shells ,I used a ham pattie tin can for the top,and covered it with the fan shells and sea shell sand.








 The silverware and platter was fun to make I wrapped each spoon and fork with jewelry wire because we did not have a proper drill bit for stainless steel ,then I used fishing line for the beads .I was able to pound the holes in the platter as it is a cheap platter from Dollar store.

                                                                                                                                                                   The last one was mussel shells , I did not like the ugly black so I use lots of glue and the sea shell sand, then inside each one I put another smaller shell,. I did the same to the top on this one too.

More Jean Bags ( Smaller)

Here is a few smaller Jean bags I made, more for children or Teens. The last 2 are raveled 4 inch squares, I had the squares done for a long time, just put them together last week .

Blue Jean Hand Bags

 I made several Blue Jean Hand bags for the Art. Craft and Yard Sale we had to day , The last one sold . I love the one in the middle ,I might keep that one for myself .
 The top one I hope to sell but if I don't I can always use it as a gift.
