I have been wanting to share this tote bag with you for a couple of months!!! Last December my group of demonstrators gathered together for our first annual holiday party. We exchanged names about a month before and made a homemade gift for someone else in the group using Stampin' Up! products. Some people baked goodies and packaged them up with SU products. Others made fabric book covers, trivets, home decor items, and a variety of other wonderful gifts. Today's tote bag was the gift I received from April Boyea. Does her name sound familiar? Yes, she's also the demonstrator responsible for yesterday's card!
I just love this tote bag and I know many of you do too. It's been in my classroom for the past two months and many of you have commented on it. April used the Springtime Vintage Designer Fabric in the Occasions Mini catalog to embellish a bag she picked up at a local big box craft store. She cut the fabric using her Big Shot and the Butterfly die. She embellished each butterfly with one of our self-adhesive pearls. She tells me that she adhered the butterflies to the bag with hot glue - easy enough, right??? She stamped my name in coordinating ink and even made the letters glittery. To top it off, she made ribbon out of the fabric and tied it to the handles. How is that for an adorable, personalized, homemade gift?!?!? Thanks April!
super cute..........
