Craft Challenge Day 8 - Handbag


I loved how this fabric looked on the snack bags so I had to whip up this cute little handbag too.
I had this great little Kate Spade bag that I LOVE- perfect size and shape- so I made up a pattern of my own version of the bag.

I think I am going to do a few more this week too. I just love how it turned out!

Craft Challenge Day 7 - 3/8 inch headbands

I made about 6 or 8 of these for the challenge, but these were the best of the lot. They are a new size for me and I am still tweaking the ends. But these turned out ok enough to show.
Looks like my girls are going to get a few new ones.;-)

CraftChallenge Day 7- more headbands

A few new colors and patterns of headbands

Craft Challenge Day 6- hair bows galore


For Day 6 of the challenge, I finished up some hairbows for my upcoming show in two weeks....

Craft Challenge Day 5- another woven headband


For Day 5 I whipped up one more headband similar to the last but with some light orchid ribbon instead of pink...
This is a woven 1" headband in brown, antique white, limejuice, and light orchid.
Headbands are $6 each or 2/$10.
Today we are driving across the state to spend the day with family, so I charged up my portable glue gun so I can make a bunch of new headbands- in 3/8" width. New size for me. I think I have the weave down so I will see how many I can do while my dear husband is driving..
Next week for the craft challenge I should have some fun bags and totes to show you!
I designed a new messenger bag pattern the weekend before the challenge started and I want to try and get a couple done next week!

Craft Challenge Day 4- skull hair bow

For Day 4, I whipped up about 8 of these fun pinwheel bows -again for my upcoming show- with a brand new ribbon print! Love it!

Each bow is approx 3" across.

They are attached to lined double prong aligator clips.

All of my bows are $3 each or 8 for $20

Craft Challenge Day 3- woven headband


For Day 3 of the challenge, I whipped up a headband for a show I have coming up.

I just love the color combination..
