T.P. Wall Art...

So I found a post about a starburst mirror, which I love! I have made two already. I will post those later. But in the comments of this post someone had said something about toilet paper art. WHAT?? So it got my curiosity going. I had to search it out and see what the heck that meant. What I found was something so cute...I thought anyway :). Check it out here . I had to try it out. Here is my try at it.

It was pretty simple to do. First, you press your toilet paper roll in half. Second, cut into about 5 strips about 1/2 in or more wide. Does not need to be precise. Third lay out on a flat surface and place in an order that you like, you can also widen the strips like I did to make different shapes. Then glue where the sides are touching. I used hot glue, it was easier for me and dries fast. Then when I was finished I spray painted my a purple color I got from the dollar store. I then hung it from two nails that were here from the previous owners. I have yet to paint the downstairs. Can't find a color I like! This craft was simple but cute!

Lovin' the Pink Purse!

I have been looking for a purse that I might like as my own. My other purses that I make either sit on my craft table waiting for a home, or I send them out to my friends and family. Well this time I decided to make this my own! I got this fabric from my MIL (she has tons of fabric! but mostly smaller pieces) and I love it. I had just enough to make a small body for the bag and the lining. I found a belt from one of my boys that had been worn through and cut it for the handle. I do have to say the handle is a bit heavy for the weight of the purse, but it is growing on me. I then made some fabric flowers one out of each type of fabric and a great vintage button for the closure! I'm really likin' it!
